favorite line from a song?

You need a job so you can make some money
You need a nice warm place to stay
A sense of humor cause life is funny
A big stick to keep the wolf away
You need a car with good tires on it
And the right place to eat barbecue
A heavy duty set of jumper cables
And no holes in your walkin' shoes
 
I may have posted this before but as we seem to be accelerating to a dystopian future best illustrated by the movie "Elysium" I'm reminded by these two lines from one of my favorite bands - James (https://wearejames.com/) 40 years on...

"If I hadn't seen such riches
I could live with being poor"
 
Here's dystopian:

"Look at the sky turn a hell-fire red, Lord
Somebody's house is burning, down, down, down . . ."

Hendrix
 
Did you ever have a secret yearning
Don't you know it could come true?
Now's the time to set wheels turning
To open up your life for you
 
I seem to have run out of skin on my teeth
I look like I feel like a fish in a beak
I look like a dick in my picture ID
But also the pic isn't me, huh

Aesop Rock, The Four Winds
 
All those things we say to ourselves
Time to rise, put that s*** on the shelf
All those years spent down in a hole
Time for life and rock 'n roll
Through all those dark years alone
Time for light
 
turn out the light, and bolt the door

promise me baby, you won’t let them find us
hold me in your arms, let’s let our love blind us
cover me
shut the door
and cover me
 
You shoulda never let me watch that show
'Cause I took a couple notes from Marie Kondo
Ooh-ooh, you're takin' up space...

Spring Cleaning - Maddie & Tae
 
A Jay-Z line that I love off Politics As Usual from his debut album;
You ain't seen money in your life
When it comes to this cheese, y'all like Three Blind Mice
 
“One of these days it will be all over cut and dry-and I won’t have this urge to run all bottled up inside”
 
'Something inside is telling me
that I've got your secret
Are you still listening?
Fear is the lock and laughter
the key to your heart
And I love you'

(Just a little CSN&Y on a Tuesday morn.)
 
Not mine but my ex was obsessed with the line "not the ribbons in your hair" from the Cars' Just What I Needed :laughing

Couldn't explain why, just always stuck out to them

This reminds me of a Megan Thee Stallion verse that I love:

"Hoes tryna call me a snake, shit, I guess I can relate
'Cause a bitch spit a whole lotta venom
And since these hoes all rats, when they come around me
All I see is a whole lotta dinner" :rofl
 
"And against such staggering odds of anything at all
That lonely poet Chance called the dance and built the hall
And with such modest hands drew up plans gave us all
Love"

 
i don’t ask for much
the truth will do just fine

…don’t waste my time

and if by chance, you’re reading this and thinking perhaps it’s about you. yeah you. it is.
