Favorite line from a song?

[Anonymous]

I might be old but I'm someone new, she said
I'm so sore that I could cry, always
In the night lay your tired arms
She will have her way
Somehow I will still believe her

--Neil Finn

Great one! I love Neil Finn, and She Will Have Her Way is one of my very favorites.

14:18 - I forgot about that fantastic K's Choice song! Have not listened to it in years - need to dig out the old CD's.

It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long
Caught somewhere between a boy and man
She was seventeen and she was far from in-between
It was summertime in Northern Michigan


Splashing through the sand bar
Talking by the campfire
It's the simple things in life, like when and where
We didn't have no internet
But man I never will forget
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair

Because when the hourglass runs out of sand
You can't flip it over and start again
Take every breathe God gives you for what it's worth

Don't Blink
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink

So I've been tryin' ta slow it down
I've been tryin' ta take it in
In this here today, gone tomorrow world we're livin'

Peace and blessings manifest, with every lesson learned
If your knowledge were your wealth, then it would be well earned

If we were made in His image, then call us by our names
Most intellects do not believe in God, but the fear of god is just the same

Oh on and on, ANd on and on
My cipher keeps movin, like a rollin stone

I was born under water, with three dollars & six dimes
Yeah, you may laugh, cuz you did not do yo math

The man that knows something, knows that he knows nothing at all
Does it seem colder in yo summer time, and hotter in your fall

I'm feelin' kind of hungry, cuz my high is comin' down
Don't feed me yours, cuz your food does not endure

You rush into destruction, cuz you don't have nothing left
The mothership can't save you, so yo ass is gon' get left

If we were made in His image, then call us by our names
Most intellects do not Believe in God, but the fear of god is just the same

Oh On & On & On & On

I´m the pinnacle
That means I reign supreme
I´m notorious
I´ll crush you like a jellybean

No gal made has got a shade on sweet Georgia Brown
Two left feet but oh so neat has sweet Georgia Brown

I got the riches to fulfill my needs
Got land in the sand of the West Indies
Even got a little island of my very own
I got a frog, a dog with a solid gold bone

Real Men by Joe Jackson

See the nice boys, dancing in pairs
Golden earring, golden tan
Blow wave in their hair
Sure they're all straight
Straight as a line
All the guys are macho
Can't you see the leather shine?

You don't want to sound dumb
Don't want to offend
So don't call me a faggot
Not unless you're a friend
Then if you're tall, handsome and strong
You can wear the uniform and I can play along

I didn't hear this song until it was on a Tori Amos album. His version is much better.

SOLDIER boy, oh my little soldier boy........I'll be true to You!

6:27 here again. I just remembered Crucify by Tori Amos. The last line always struck as funny and sad at the same time.

I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I've been aising up my hands, drive another nail in
Got enough guilt to start my own religion

[Anonymous]

oops "raising" not "aising"

"They say that these are not the best of times,
But they're the only times I've ever known . . . .
But we are always what our situations hand us,
It's either sadness or euphoria."

For fun:
"Send lawyers, guns and money. The s**t has hit the fan."

Aargh - I can't believe I didn't think of that! Well done.

Also from Billy Joel, Miami 2017:

"They sent a carrier out from Norfolk
And picked the Yankees up for free.
They said that Queens could stay,
They blew the Bronx away
And sank Manhattan out to sea..."

I'm getting depressed - I think my days of the all-day tailgate followed by the Jimmy Buffett concert are behind me. Sigh.
