Favourite song lyric

What's your favourite song lyric/s? Doesn't necessarily have to be from your favourite song, just thought it'd be a bit of fun to see what people's opinions are.

 

One of my favourites has to from Bold As Love (Hendrix):

 

And all of these emotions of mine keep holding me

From giving my life to a rainbow like you,

But I'm, yeah, I'm bold as love. :)

[Conrad]

A friend in need is a friend indeed,

but a friend with weed is better.

'Freedom's just another word

for nothin' left to lose;

nothin' ain't worth nothin'

but it's free.............'

 

from Me And Bobby McGee; witten by Kris Kristofferson, and recorded by upwards of 200 acts!

[Paul6754]

From Amy Winehouse's rendition of Valerie, "Sometimes I go out by myself and look across the water" especially when she sings it later in the song in a slightly slower tempo and with such feeling.

[SuperValiant1876]

All we are saying, is give Peace a chance

[Dr Delgado]

A friend in need is a friend indeed,

but a friend with weed is better.

[blinkme]

Here ye, here ye, friends and Romans, country men

Here ye, here ye, punks and skins and journey men

Here ye, here ye, my sisters and my brethren

The time is coming near

 

Come ye, come ye, to soulless corporate circus stops

Come ye, come ye, to toilet circuit touring stops

Come ye, come ye, to bedrooms, bars and bunker squats

The sound is ringing clear

 

Now who'd have thought, that after all

Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all

Now who'd have thought, that after all

It was rock and roll

 

Here ye, here ye, now anybody could take the stage

Here ye, here ye, and make miracles from minimum wage

Here ye, here ye, these folk songs of the modern age

Will hold us in their arms

 

Right here, right now, Elvis brings his children home

Right here, right now, you never have to feel alone

Right here, right now, teenage kicks and gramophones

We hold, them in our hearts

 

Now who'd have thought, that after all

Something simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all

Now who'd have thought, that after all

It was rock and roll

 

I still believe

(I still believe)

In the saints

Yeah in Jerry Lee and in Johnny and all the greats

 

I still believe

(I still believe)

In the sound

That has the power to raise a temple and tear it down

 

I still believe

(I still believe)

In the need

For guitars and drums and desperate poetry

 

I still believe

(I still believe)

That everyone

Can find a song for every time they've lost and every time they've won

 

So just remember folks we're not just saving lives, we're saving souls

We're having fun

 

I still believe

Now who'd have thought that after all

Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all

Now who'd have thought, after all

Something so simple, something so small

Who'd have thought, after all

It's rock 'n' roll

Back with my wife in Tennessee, one day she said to me,

"Virgil! Quick, come see. There goes the Robert E. Lee",

Well, I don't mind chopping wood,

I don't care if the money's no good,

Just take what you need and leave the rest,

But they should never have taken the very best.

 

The night they drive old Dixie down...

[Birdy]

"Hare Chrishna said hello to me mum. Like Hiroshima said hello to the bomb."

[Memphis]

"What a divvy what a ****ing div, talking like a moron, walking like a spiv."

[Andyregs]

"Hare Chrishna said hello to me mum. Like Hiroshima said hello to the bomb."
