There has been a long-running thread here of 'Best quotes' but maybe it would be interesting to find out folks' favorite lines from songs. To keep it on some sort of track, let's have a few ground rules.
- Attribution is required, who sang it (or wrote it) and where can we hear it? - Shorter is better, four lines maximum, a verse. These should be words of wisdom that can be summoned for inspiration in social emergencies. - If you're an opera fan, you're welcome to post in Italian, just don't expect many high fives from the monolingual among us.
I'll throw out a couple for starters:
When you're rockin' and a rollin' you can't hear your momma call. Little Richard - Good Golly, Miss Molly
All I want in this life of mine is some good clean fun. All I want in this life and time is some hit and run. Little Feat - Fat Man in the Bathtub
She had a chassis like an XJS Skull necklace like a high priestess I thought maybe just one caress She said You dream too much (Richard Thompson------You Dream Too Much)
Mary says she's worried about herself and the kids She's never known anybody had a gun and her daddy never did but I think it should be up to me 'cause when it's all said and done somebodys got to walk into the night well I'm going to be that one (Fred Eaglesmith ----------Time to get a Gun).
