Always liked this from Springsteen:

But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now that memories come back to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse?


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Always thought it said "Her body jammed and went down at the reservoir"

You learn something every day.

Misheard song lyrics is a thread in itself!

See Peter Kay!! 😂😂

First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is.

I pull off your jeans, and you spill Jack and Coke in my collar
I melt like a witch and scream…

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here.

Some lovely lyrics throughout but I’ve always been drawn to these lines:

Did you exchange…
A walk-on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

Magic.

Probably the most played song in the Auberge in the Düsseldorf Alt Stat while I was there. I bet it still is. The whole bar just sings along to it.

It is a classic of course VC, and most definitely one of their more well known mainstream songs. Just that particular lyric highlighted within the song rings true in the lives of many, but it’s pure genius in its simplicity and delivery.

Has anyone on here ever listened to Roscoe by Midlake?

Brilliant song, brilliant lyrics. Harmonies are great as well. One of those that I just used to have on repeat and probably didn't do The Trials of Van Occupanther justice.

Though it never quite hits the heights of Roscoe, I kind of preferred The Courage of Others as an album.

The standout song of the Trials, I just thought as this was an article about lyrics it was worth a shout out, unbelievably good song. Fans of early Radiohead or Fleetwood Mac would love Midlake

Whenever I was a child I wanted my name to change into something more produulike…

So if you want my address it's number one at the end of the bar
Where I sit with the broken angels clutching at straws and nursing our scars
Blame it on me, blame it on me,
Sugar mice in the rain, your daddy took a raincheck

Lyrics by Fish from Marillions Sugar Mice

Well played sir

You can screw a man down
Until he takes to drinking
He'll give you all of his money
Still won't know what he's thinking

Take me to the fantastic place
Keep the rest of my life away

Marillion Fantastic Place
