Favorite line from a song
OK, so it`s not about guitars or strings or tonewoods or tuners or stores etc, etc.
Quite simple; what is/are some of your favorite lines/lyrics? They can be clever, dumb, sad, uplifting, thought-provoking, nostalgic or funny. They can be from a verse or a chorus, it doesn`t matter. "I read the news today, oh boy"- The Beatles "I can`t help about the shape I`m in, I can`t sing, I aint pretty and my legs are thin".- Fleetwood Mac, the real one before they went soft. "One day I will paint the sky, get a ladder, find a roller that can reach that high"- John Gorka Last edited by Brucebubs; 07-09-2013 at 04:16 PM. |

I'll toss in:
"And I answer them most mysteriously Are birds free from the chains of the skyway?"

For some reason -- it fits the band and the song and the delivery and the whole vibe so well -- I've always loved this line from Southern Culture on the Skids' song, Voodoo Cadillac:
I met my baby in a used car lot; A-drinkin' cheap wine and a-throwing' rocks. Hardly lyrical genius... I guess it's just me. It it came to mind. Also, I've always loved the line from Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians' song What I Am: Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box; Religion is a smile on a dog.

A line from a song by the Spanish songwriter, Joan Manuel Serrat,
"Porque no se acaba, ni mi amor, ni mi amada." I could translate the words, but the poetry would be lost. -Raf

"I heard 10,000 whispering and nobody listening- I heard one person starve I heard many people laughing"- "It's A Hard Rain A Gonna Fall" Bob Dylan
"I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from" - "Not Dark Yet"- also Dylan... Give me some time I feel like I'm losing mine Out here on this horizon line With the earth spinning And the sky forever rushing No one knows They can never get that close Guesses at most Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching- "Sweet Bird" Joni Mitchell

now the conductress on the number 19,
she was a honey, she was a queen. pink toe nails and hands all dirty from the money. For me as an older Englishman living in America I can picture these women on the busses we took to school. Listening to " Walking in the wild west end " shoots me back to England in a blink of an eye. You've got to love the line " got a pickup for my steel guitar " as well.

It wasn't very large
There was just enough room to cram the drums In the corner over by the Dodge It was a fifty-four With a mashed up door And a cheesy little amp With a sign on the front said "Fender Champ" And a second hand guitar It was a Stratocaster with a whammy bar Down in Joe's Garage We didn't have no dope or LSD But a coupla quartsa beer Would fix it so the intonation Would not offend yer ear
