favorite line from a song?

Wait till you see her, see how she looks
Wait till you hear her laugh
Painters of paintings, writer of books
Never could tell the half

Wait till you feel the warmth of her glance
Pensive and sweet and wise
All of it lovely, all of it thrilling
I'll never be willing to free her
When you see her, you won't believe your eyes
You won't believe your eyes
 
Cause he's my big, bad, handsome man
He's got me in the palm of his hand
He's the Devil Divine, I'm so glad that he's mine
'Cause he's my big, bad, handsome man
With his rugged good looks yeah he's got me hooked
Got me where he wants me to be
With his arms so wide, he pulls me in by his side
 
They say there are strangers who threaten us
Our immigrants and infidels
They say there is strangeness to danger us
In our theaters and bookstore shelves
Those who know what's best for us
Must rise and save us from ourselves

Quick to judge
Quick to anger
Slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice
And fear walk hand in hand

- RUSH, Witch Hunt
- Released in 1981, with timeless relevance.
- RIP Neil Peart :(
 
Mr. Crowley

Oh jeeze, thanks a lot as this is now stuck in my head! You can't just have "Mr. Crowley" without singing the rest of the line :laughing


Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go and leave you all alone?
I got a bad desire
Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire
 
That rates higher than Steve Millers:

"Abra, Abracadabra. Abracadabra."
I'm a huge Steve Miller fan, but this verse always made me mad.

Hoo-hoo-hoo, billy Mack is a detective down in Texas
You know he knows just exactly what the facts is
He ain't gonna let those two escape justice
He makes his livin' off of the people's taxes
Bobbie Sue, whoa, whoa, she slipped away
Billy Joe caught up to her the very next day

First off, rhyming Texas, facts is, and taxes. Then the part where they do exactly what it's said that he's not going to let them do.

I must air guitar after hearing those two words :party

I just wanted you to watch me dissolve
Slowly...In a pool full of your love
But I don't even know how the chemistry works
When you're poolside
Kicking in the dirt
Kicking in the sand
And stirring up trouble
 
When there's lightning, you know it always brings me down
'Cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
I cry out for magic, I feel it dancing in the light
 
Dio. That's a great song.

One of my fav! Can you name this one?

One life I'm gonna live it up
I'm takin' flight, I said, "I'll never get enough"
Stand tall I'm young and kind of proud
I'm on the top, but as long as the music's loud

If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool 'cause it's a case of do or die
Out there is a fortune waiting to be had
If you think I'll let you go you're mad
You've got another thing comin'
You've got another thing comin'
 
Nice! This fun! :laughing okay, how about this one....

What do you mean, "I couldn't be the President
Of the United States of America"?
Tell me something, it's still "We the people" right?
 
Bow down before the ones you serve
You're going to get what you deserve...


Mad

Peace sells... But who's buying?

2 points for you but I am going to stump you now! :laughing This is a little known song from a VERY popular band, I will know if you google :laughing I don't think you will get this without googling :laughing I found it by accident.

And I don't care what people say
And I don't care what they do
Sweet child I gotta make you mine
You're the only thing that I want: You!
Baby baby when you walk down the block,
See the people behind (?)
Woh child oh ya drive me wild
I gotta do it really gonna try
 
Lol yep, stumped me there! I'm not much of a Zep' fan though :laughing

:laughing I only knew about it because a friend told me and I found it by accident looking for old songs :laughing The only video I have ever found of them singing you couldn't understand a word other than Darlene :laughing

Okay, try this one. It is an oldie but goody.

The Reverend he turned to me without a tear in his eyes
Nothing new for him to see, I didn't ask him why
I will remember the love our souls had sworn to make
Now I watch the falling rain, all my mind can see now is your
 
Coffee black, cigarettes
Start this day, like all the rest
First thing every morning that I do
Is start missing you
