il Duce McTarkin Posted February 25 Posted February 25 There's Russians and there's Prussians and brave Italians too, There's Greeks and Ancient Romans, not forgetting the Zulu, But from Greenland's icy mountains to India's coral strand The South Down Militia is the terror of the land.
Gundermann Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Culture was the seed of proliferation but it's gotten melded Into an inharmonic whole, to an inharmonic whole. Consciousness has plagued us and we cannot shake it Though we think we're in control, though we think we're in control. Questions that besiege us in life are testament of our helplessness. "There's no vestige of a beginning, no prospect of an end." [(Hutton, 1795]
Dick Dastardly Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Hold on to the thread The currents will shift, glide me towards you Know something's left And we're all allowed to dream of the next Ah, ah, of the next time we touch
Dick Dastardly Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Love in, love out, Find the feeling Scream in, Scream out, Time for healing You feel the moment's gone too soon, You're watching clouds come over you.
I P Knightley Posted March 11 Posted March 11 Puff the Magic Dragon, Lived by the sea OK, OK. not quite in keeping with the thread title but memorable opening lines must count for something?
Dick Dastardly Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Well, we jumped all night on the trampoline And when you kissed the sky it made your sister scream You ate our chips And you drank our coke And then you showed me Mars through your telescope
Dick Dastardly Posted March 20 Posted March 20 The smokestack spitting black soot into the sooty sky The load on the road brings a tear to the Indian's eye The elephant won't forget what it's like inside its cage The Ringmaster's telecaster sings on an empty stage

Dick Dastardly Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
Boof Posted March 25 Posted March 25 19 hours ago, Tazio said: Is that a Rush song? Not yet, as far as I'm aware. I'll suggest it to them next time I see them. They're more Lakeside Park than Tynecastle Park

Dick Dastardly Posted April 9 Posted April 9 I've seen your severed head at a banquet for the dead All dressed up for dinner looked so fine Your shining silver salver so tastefully powdered With the finest military quick lime
Dick Dastardly Posted April 9 Posted April 9 Just what is it that you want to do? Well, we wanna be free, we wanna be free to do what we wanna do And we wanna get loaded and we wanna have a good time And that's what we're gonna do (away baby, let's go) We're gonna have a good time, we're gonna have a party
Dick Dastardly Posted April 10 Posted April 10 That's right, you knows what I'm saying Your mother's offered me the goods, I'm not paying. It started as a laugh, as a bit of a joke Something funny to say when I was having a smoke.
Tazio Posted April 10 Posted April 10 Operator, number please It's been so many years Will she remember my old voice While I fight the tears?
Tazio Posted April 10 Posted April 10 Another one on this theme. Hey Charlie I'm pregnant and living on 9th Street Right above a dirty bookstore off Euclid Avenue And I stopped taking dope and I quit drinking whiskey And my old man plays the trombone and works out at the track
Dick Dastardly Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Do do do do do de do do do do do do do do do Mahna Mahna
Dick Dastardly Posted April 13 Posted April 13 Give me something I can hold With that something I will grow Make me crazy with your arms It's all gone hazy, It's all gone wrong
martoon Posted April 13 Posted April 13 Apologies if already mentioned but Billy Brag's "New England" always stood out for me: "I was 21 years, When I wrote this song, I'm 22 now, But I won't be for long..."

Well the smart money's on Harlow, and the moon is in the street The shadow boys are breaking all the laws And you're east of East St. Louis, and the wind is making speeches And the rain sounds like a round of applause And Napoleon is weeping in the Carnival saloon His invisible fiancée is in the mirror And the band is going home, it's raining hammers, it's raining nails Yes, it's true, there's nothin' left for him down here
Tazio Posted April 13 Posted April 13 Way too many Tom Waits lyrics fit the bill. This isn’t him though but it’s a great song. You know I'm impatient So why would you leave me waitin' outside the station When it was like minus four degrees? And I, I get what you're sayin' I just really don't wanna hear it right now Can you shut up for like once in your life?
Kalamazoo Jambo Posted April 13 Posted April 13 Pass me that lovely little gun My dear, my darling one The cleaners are coming, one by one You don’t even want to let them start
