The best line in a song ever!

[Wilts]

Only Nick Cave would open an album, let alone a song, with:

'Well, I don't believe in an interventionist God'

('Into My Arms', on the album 'The Boatman's Call')

Top choice. I have a mate who swears by the opening verse to Into My Arms and agrees with you...

Doesn't it then go:

"But i know, darling, that you do
But if i did i would kneel down and ask him
Not to intervene when it came to you"

Quality stuff...

that's the one - and it's one of the most beautiful love songs ever written.

 

[CHAPPERS]

But still keep sliding on, I try to make sense of the madness
But it seems like I'm wasting my time, it's best I just
Go get me mine, find some inner peace
Climb to higher heights, embrace the light

[Gritt23]

I'm as serious as cancer,
when I say,
rhythm is a dancer.


Class.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields,
Sold in a market down in New Orleans.
Scarred old slaver know he's doin' alright.
Hear him whip the women just around midnight.
Ah Brown Sugar how come you taste so good
(A - ha) Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should
A - huh.

Superb ( but not PC) lyrics

Rolling Stones - Brown Sugar

"I left my heart in Papworth General"

"And you can thank your lucky stars
That you're not the bastard son of Dean Friedman"

"I heard a lovely rumour,
that Bette Midler had a tumour,
So gleefully I ran to tell my friends"

"So I'll wipe my snot on the arm of your chair,
As you pin another Roger Dean poster on the wall"

and many, many more!!

Didn't they also have a line in a song that went "A million housewives every day pick up a tin of beans and say - what an amazing piece of synchronisation!"

 

[Marc]

"We built this City.....We built this City on Rock And Roll"

Fantastic song!

You see, what the f*** does that mean?
ps lets not ruin this thread with our repetitive coldplay arguments eh?

 

[Titanic]

You choose your leaders and place your trust
As their lies wash you down and their promises rust
You'll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns

And the public wants what the public gets
But i don't get what this society wants...


This lyric written in 1982 couldn't be more appropriate today, I wonder what Paul Weller makes of 'New Labour' ?

 

[Rowdey]

Any lyric by The The's Matt Johnson

What like...

She was lying on her back, with her lips parted..squealing like a stuffed pig...She was going through the motions, faking the emotions (wriggling around like a lizard in a tin)..

Quality right the way through that album..
