What do you think is the best Lyric from a song Thread 2 |
|
The first is getting kind of big....rememeber credit for this thread still goes to NewYawker99.
I say a good lyric is..... James Brown's "The Boss"
"Look at me! Know whatca see? YA SEE A BAD MOTHA!"
Or how about:
"Finland Finland Finlad...the country where I want to beee eating breakfast or dinner, or just watching TV"
And I stick by my first one of JOhnny Cash's
"MY NAME IS SUE! HOW DO YOU DO? NOW YOU GONNA DIE!"
Followed up with
"Kickin' and a gougin inthe mud and the blood and the beer"

2. "All the hard days are gone ... |
|
"it's all beer and whiskey and songs from now on, "laughing at darkness and dancing till dawn. "All the hard days are gone. "
The McKrells -- and Upstate NY Irish-Bluegrass group -- what's not to love about that lyric?

3. My heart is a flower - King Missile |
|
My heart is a flower, Budding, Blooming, Dripping dew, Dropping petals all over the place, Making a big hopeless mess, Stinking things up, Waiting for someone to come flying over, To suck the pollen out of me. Suck me dry. 'Til I wilt. 'Til next Spring.

4. Well, I Think the Best Song Lyrics are More than Just a Line |
|
and sometimes don't sound as good written out.
"Alison" by Elvis Costello I think is one of the best pop songs ever written. But it doesn't have a single zinger in its lyrics. He has lots and lots of others. Here's one:
"Well I finally found someone to turn me upside down And nail my feet up where my head should be. If they had a King of Fools then I could wear that crown, And you could not die laughing because I'll wear it proudly.
I'll wear it proudly through the dives and the dance halls If you wear it proudly through the snake pits and catcalls. Like a fifteen year old kid wears a vampire kiss..."
Another one I like from Elvis C:
"...Look at the man that you call uncle Having a heart 'round your ankles.
When you wake up with X-rated eyes and you wake up still shaking How can I apologize As you take your effects and check your reflection I'm so affected in the face of your affection."
Maybe it's just clever word play. The more I think about it, the harder it is to settle on any single one. It's as futile as searching for the most beautiful piece of music.

Year Of The Cat Al Stewart
On a morning from a Bogart movie In a country where they turn back time You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre Contemplating a crime She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running Like a watercolour in the rain Don't bother asking for explanations She'll just tell you that she came In the year of the cat
She doesn't give you time for questions As she locks up your arm in hers And you follow 'till your sense of which direction Completely disappears By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls There's a hidden door she leads you to These days, she says, I feel my life Just like a river running through The year of the cat
Well, she looks at you so cooly And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea She comes in incense and patchouli So you take her, to find what's waiting inside The year of the cat
Well, morning comes and you're still with her And the bus and the tourists are gone And you've thrown away the choice and lost your ticket So you have to stay on But the drum-beat strains of the night remain In the rhythm of the new-born day You know sometime you're bound to leave her But for now you're going to stay In the year of the cat
-- I also enjoy "Time Passages" and "On The Border"
