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?


But as a single line lyric, always liked:

Love goes cold in the shades of doubt

No-one told you where to run...you missed the starting gun

Pink Floyd - Time

Spirits rise...and their dance is unrehearsed

Barbra Streisand - Evergreen




don't judge me

Bearing a gift beyond price...almost free

Rush - Spirit of Radio

anyone posting entire song lyrics needs banning

OP sort it

I might have Pink Floyds Time at my funeral

Here's some poetry instead


Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs,
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots,
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.

Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.—
Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

In all my dreams before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,—
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.

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

You learn something every day.

Talking of songs has anyone heard the 'new' Beatles one?

I think it it was a song from the 60s it would be considered a bit of a classic now.

There used to be a radio show here where people would phone in with their Spanish mishearings of English songs. It was pretty hilarious.

By the way, here's an old performance of a Spanish bloke doing a cover of In The Ghetto. It's priceless:

Sisters of Mercy:

"And the twelve daughters of the revolution turn the gold to chrome" (Mother Russia)

If you must write prose/poems
The words you use should be your own
Don't plagiarise or take "on loan"
'Cause there's always someone, somewhere
With a big nose, who knows
And who trips you up and laughs
When you fall

The liars are out - they have all the assets
Mining for oil, they were bleeding for gold
Fruit tasting bitter, and lead in the air
Butcher the womb, and expect her to bear

"Ain't there one damn song that can make me break down and cry" Bowie, Young Americans

From the Raggy Dolls theme

"Don't be scared if you don't fit in, look who's in the reject bin!"

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.

All of Chuck E's in love

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.

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…

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?
