Totally memorable lines...

'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

I'm wasted and I can't find my way home


Marc Bolan of TRex penned some great ones. From 'Bang a Gong (Get It On)'

You're built like a car you got a hubcap diamond star halo
You're built like a car oh yeah


From 'Rabbit Fighter'

Shady politician in my bed
Tying bolts of lightning to his head

Mac,
My wife is now asking me (from the other room) "What's so funny?"
You owe me a new keyboard.. luckily just the qwerty one.


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

I am also a big fan of Hal David´s lyrics.
In fact I find it very difficult to pick out
any specific line as they are all more or less
great ! So why not take this line from The Look Of Love:

"The look of love is in your eyes
a look your smile can´t disguise"

Now there's a blast from the past. I can remember as a kid hearing that song on the am radio of my folks' Pontiac.

Except wasn't "Something Stupid" kind of creepy in that it was sung by father and daughter?

It makes your skin crawl in that context. It's almost as bad as that infamous "sexy" photo of Miley Cyrus with her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus.

Kinda makes you want to hurl.

Hi, guys !

Funny, but I never thought that those lines
were ment for a father to sing with his daughter ?
I doubt that it was the intention of the lyricists
either ?

Perhaps we shouldn't be trying to read try to read too, too much into lyrics of a song eh?

Let's not get upset about what I'm sure the composer never, ever, ever intended.

Perhaps Frank was thinking about his wife, and Nancy was thinking about her boyfriend. Ain't that possible? No?

I've listened to that tune innocently for all those years, and now in one sentence you've gone and wrecked it on me. Damn!

Dani, you're on the right track.

Loosen up guys...

“Something Stupid” was written by C. Carson Parks and he sang it with his wife Gaile Foote:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somethin%27_Stupid


Frank and Nancy’s version is the most popular and I doubt very very much that they sang it to each other.


PS -I'm still going to enjoy the song!

When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"

Some of my favorites:

If I could only find the words then I would write it all down
If I could only find a voice I would speak

He put the bottle to his head and pulled the trigger

I'll be there for you
These 5 words I say to you
When you breathe I wanna be the air for you

Saying goodbye is never an easy thing
But you never said you'd stay forever

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna go to sleep
Cuz I'd miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

(Yes, I love Diane Warren's writing)

From the musical Guys and Dolls
with music and lyrics by Frank Loesser

"More I Cannot Wish You"

But More I Cannot Wish You
Than to wish you find your love
Your own true love this day
With a sheep's eye
And a lickerish tooth
And a strong arms
To carry you away.

I love this tune and
those wonderful lines especially
as sung by the Singers Unlimited:

Reminds me of THAT'S LIFE:

That's life, that's what the people say
Ridin' high in April, shot down in May
But I don't let it, let it get me down
Cause this old world, she keeps spinnin' round

Sung beautifully by Old Blue Eyes, or if you prefer, "The chairman of the board"

Sting is a genius.

Now she is gone, leavin' me too soon
I'm as dark as December, I'm as cold as the man in the moon

That's from MERCURY FALLING. If you haven't heard it (song and the album) you should give it a listen. Awesome!!

How about A HOUSE IS NOT A HOME

I don't remember the exact lyrics but something like:

A chair is still a chair, even when no one's sitting there
But a chair is not a house, and a house is not a home when you're not there

That's the sentiment and logical/emotional flow anyway. Love it!!

She's no doubt brilliant. Diane Warren frequently occupies the small intersection of the sets "good songs" and "popular songs". UNBREAK MY HEART is great, as is IF YOU ASKED ME TO (simple but beautiful sentiment--"all you have to do is ask me too")
