That lyric gives me a thrill!!

For some reason, whenever I play Elvis Costello's Alison, the line "well I see you got a husband now" always stops me dead in my tracks.

Has done for the last 40 or so years.

 

This song has given me goosebumps since 1969.

Listening to you I get the music
Gazing at you I get the heat
Following you I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you I see the millions
On you I see the glory
From you I get opinions
From you I get the story

 

'Werewolves of London 'is fantastic.
Warren Zevon disliked playing it apparently. Tired of it , I suppose.
There's a good scene in an episode of ' The Larry Saunders Show'where Zevon was a guest. He wanted to play a new song but they insisted on" Werewolves...'.

 

The count-in . when Mccartney hits " Four!" you feel the earth move and that juggernaut , the Sixties , being inaugurated:

 

“Close To You”: Carpenters

 

One Jon Anderson lyric which always gets me: “Sad preacher nailed upon the coloured door of time”.

 

" Human kindness is overflowing"

 

BB King:
I gave you seven children
And now you wanna give them back!

 

Every line from that song is gold. It's a song about werewolves with "awoooooooo" in it, but somehow it manages to be awesome instead of an annoying novelty.

 

Kate Bush / Cloudbusting

“I just know that something good is going to happen / and just saying it could even make it happen”

 

David Bowie / Five Years

“It was cold and it rained, so I felt like an actor...”

 

John Lennon / Instant Karma

What an epic chorus:

“Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun“

 

"Sometimes you wanna start higher. Sometimes you gotta start low. Some people think they're gonna die someday. I got news you never gotta go"

Ted Nugent - Stranglehold

 

That was a great episode (and show) lol. I remember.

 

Yes!!!!

 

I love when the beat first kicks in on “Give Peace A Chance”. I always thought a killer hip-hop song could have been made with that beat.

 

Badly Drawn Boy / You Were Right

“Do the colours of the rainbow look the same to everyone?”

 

Manic Street Preachers / Faster

“I am stronger than Mensa, miller and mailer,
I spat out Plath and Pinter”

 

The Clash / Straight to Hell

"Let me tell you 'bout your blood, bamboo kid
It ain't Coca-Cola, it's rice ..."

The grim legacy of the Vietnam War, U.S Imperialism as consumerism and the tragedy of those left in its wake. Brilliant.

 

..." Oh... What a thrill"! from chuck Berry and by Rockpile...!

 

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
Within the sound of silence

 

That thrills me too & "Bridge over troubled water".

 

Yes, also......The Boxer, American Tune, Scarborough Fair, America etc, etc etc....

 

I like Scarborough Fair & take it you're a big Simon & Garfunkel fan.

 

Huge fan of both S & G, and Simon solo.
