Great lines in music....

Rodgers & Hart again, from "Too Good For The Average Man" (1936)

Lots of kids for a poor wife or dandy, Girls of fashion can be choosy. Birth control and the modus operandi Are much too good for the average floozy

Psychoanalysts are all the whirl, Rich men pay them all they can. Waking up to find that he's a girl, It's too good for the average man

 

Life handed us a paycheck. We said, “We worked harder than this!”

All your children are poor, unfortunate victims of lies you believe.

It’s on you. It’s your mind. It’s a complex plan that keeps us confined.

Got no big plans, but a good idea. Let’s put this town in our rear view mirror. Yeah I’ve got enemies, but they don’t know...they won’t get no glory on that side of the hole.

I told a dealer I was broke. He hired a cameraman. We did a porno film for coke. I hear I’m big in Japan.

I’ve got wine. So do you. Mine came with a cork. I wish yours did too.

 

"I'm Yankee Doodle Dandy in a gold Rolls-Royce"
That line always makes me smile.

kevin gilbert - "and lennon never has to sing, another paul mccartney song".

 

"He pulled the mirrors off his Cadillac, ‘Cause he doesn’t like it looking like he looks back"

 

"Is there gas in the car ? Yes there's gas in the car."

 

In the room by myself
Looks like I'm here with a guy that I judge worse than anyone else
So I pace and I pray
And I repeat the mantras that might keep me clean for the day

Jason Isbell - "Songs That She Sang In The Shower"

 

Almost everything written by the 2 Phils
Phil Lynott from 1973-1978
Phil Mogg from 1974-1982

 

Life seems so rosy in the cradle
But I'll be a friend I'll tell you what's in store
There's nothing at the end of the rainbow
There's nothing to grow up for anymore

Richard Thompson - "The End Of The Rainbow"

 

One-eyed men aren't really reigning they just march in place until
two-eyed men with mystery training finally feel the power due
three-eyed men are not complaining they can yo-yo where they will
they slip inside this house as they walk by.....

 

She blew my nose and then she blew my mind.

 

I think you'd better hold your tongue
Although you've never been that strong
-- Elvis Costello

I guess that's just the price you pay
For the chains you refuse.
-- Richard Thompson

I made an American squirm
And it felt so right.
-- Nick Lowe

 

Was it a millionaire
Who said 'Imagine no possessions'?

And if I ever was myself
I wasn't that night.

Wilco - Handshake Drugs

 

The comfort's so appealing
The body's so revealing
Just get to feeling like a wheel without traction.
-- Graham Parker

You look all right in the cheap print dress
But every time you swish it round you make me disappear
-- Graham Parker

You think you're immune
But I can sell you anything
Anything from a thin safety-pin
To a pork pie hat.
-- Joe Jackson

 

The Specials ~ Friday Night, Saturday Morning

But two o'clock has come again
It's time to leave this paradise
Hope the chip shop isn't closed
Cos' their pies are really nice
I'll eat in the taxi queue
Standing in someone else's spew
Wish I had lipstick on my shirt
Instead of piss stains on my shoes

 

If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will.

 

"Mama's in the basement mixin' up the medicine"!

 

Talk Talk by The Music Machine:

I got me a complication
and it's an only child

 

"I may make you feel but I can't make you think." -- Ian Anderson

 

This is merely one goosebump-inducing line from what I consider the greatest rock and roll song of all-time (if I was compiling such a list)...

"The amusement park rises bold and stark, kids are huddled on the beach in the mist.
I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight in an everlasting kiss."

-Bruce Springsteen (Born To Run)

 

Standing on a highway. My pants around my knees. I'd write her name out on the road, but I can't piss Denise.

 

They tell him it's hard to be honest and true
Does he mind if he doesn't get paid?
-- Richard Thompson

 

Ghost of a sailor, long since been dead
Smokin' his pipe and scratchin' his head
It's bad news but I heard what he said
He said there's nowhere to run.

Ronnie Lane - Nowhere To Run

 

Deerhunter all the same


My friend's dad got bored, changed his sex and had no more
No more wife, no more kids, nothing left
To live with to exist, so, so, so, so
You should take your handicaps, channel them and feed them back
Till they become your strengths, hollowed out it's all the same
