What's The Best Line In A Record?


Guest

Recommended Posts

....I rehearsed and planned to send you away

But the words I rehearsed came out in reverse

Instead of sending you away I begged you to stay

Brilliant!!!!

Four Tops - I can't seem to get you out of my mind

Loads of great lines:

I tried so hard since you been away - too fill each lonely hour of the day - I stop to read almost every sign but when day is done I can't seem to get you out of my mind

The neon lights appear, to spell your name through eyes that tear - though people are all around me your sweet voice is the only sound I hear - I try to fit into the world I see, and forget the world that belong to you and me

and so it keeps on going!! great lyrics and Levi!!!

Dynamite and nitroglycerin are like a firecracker compared to you

and building on that

"Its almost like eating beans by the pound... then wrapping up in adhesive tape from the waist down" :unsure:

"It'd take ten women ten years of hard loving

to make me feel the way that you do"

The Persuaders- 'You Must Have Put Something In Your Love'

Forgive me if I've boffed the line up, but it should be close...

For years I thought a line from Tower Of Power YSAYM was " I could make you happy, I'm not a bad man" then I recently found out that it was actually "I could make you happy, I'm not a mad lad" and I thought that it was a brilliant line

"And if a double-decker bus crashes into us

To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die

And if a ten ton truck kills the both of us

To die by your side, well, the pleasure and the privilege is mine..."

("There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" - The Smiths/lyrics by Morrissey)

"I have so much confidence when I'm by myself

It's like my nerves wore an armoured coat

But you're such a charmer, you melt that coat of armour

And the words from my heart get caught up in my throat - maybe I'd better write a note..."

("When The Words From Your Heart Get Caught Up In Your Throat" - The Miracles/lyrics by Willaim Robinson)

...honestly can't choose between the two..

Billy Butler-'Come Over To My Side'.

'I've got so much love I just give it away'

Got to be one of the best

and during the fade out of 'Get Hip to Yourself' -The Soul Shakers

'Don't take my kindness as a weakness'

An actor's life is not for me, but I play the part so well,

though my heart is broken down inside, no one can ever tell,

they look at me, but they don't see this sad but lonely clown (now baby),

if they took a closer look, they'd see the smile was upside down,

if they could turn me over, their gonna see,

there's really two sides of me,

and I hurt all on the other side.........

Sheer poetry!

Ian D :lol:

Where did you get that from???!!!!!!!!!

Jerry Cook's "I Hurt On The Other Side".

I bumped into Sydney Barnes (the writer) a few years ago in the South of France, bowed, then fell to my knees on the croisette and said "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy......."

these intro lines always do it for me, unsurpassable:

Now if there's a smile on my face

it's only there trying to fool the public

but when it comes down to fooling you

now honey that's quite a diff'rent subject.

AND

The moment I wake up

Before I put on my makeup

I say a little prayer for you

And if I had a penny for each time I told my mates how much I like the lyrics to Jo Ann Courcy's "I got the power" I could afford an original by now...

I think the whole of the sad, slightly cynical lyric to Native New Yorker is seriously underrated, but I especially love:

"And love, love is just a passing word

It's the thought you had in a taxi cab that got left on the kerb

When he dropped you off, at East 83rd...

...And where did all those yesterdays go?

When you still believed love could really be like a Broadway show

You were the star, when did it close?"

And for sad songs you cant beat Another Star: :lol:

For you, there might be a brighter star

But through my eyes the light of you is all I see

For you, there might be another song

But all my heart can hear is your melody

From the Four Tracks' Charade:

"But my love is enormous, I need another performance" ohmy.gif ooer matron!

And to top them all off: :D

Sup up your beer and collect your fags

There's a row going on down near Slough

Always thought that the line "girl you've got the best of me, please come take the rest of me" was a cracker from Chairman of the Board's You Got Me Dangling On A Sting.

Also, "when you walk in a room right away I start to swoon, I'm not sure what you got but what it is I like a lot". I Got A Feeling by Barbara Randolf.

Now I may not have this absolutely bang on on but:

but that innocent and sweetness manifest upon your face, can't portray whats really in your heart - my faith in you is all gone.

Like Joan's great suggestion I'm the One, there's a few killer lines from James Dockery.

Sticking my head in the oven after turning on the gas........and then lighting up a cigarette just how can I last..........

How about "My mouth wrote a cheque .......that my heart couldn't cash" ?

What started out to be such a good thing

Has taken my pride and replaced it with shame

I can't face my friends 'cause I know what they're thinking

Now I understand how some men start drinking

I'm like a drowning man in a sea of misery

Never thought this could happen to me

I'm smoking more but enjoying it less

I get a whole lotta sleep but I don't get enough rest

Jimmy Conwell - Too Much

Better to be a poor mans lover than a play thing for a rich boy,

Better to be everything to someone than just somebodys toy

Better to have so body love you for what you are and not what he can get

Better to be an honest woman than an expensive bitch

Ruby Winters - Better

But if you leave me a hundred times, a hundred times i'll take you back - This old heart of mine

Right up there with

Leaving just your picture behind, and I've kissed it a thousand times.

But my fave still remains, from school days.

Sufferers love I give to you

you dont know the suffering I go through

And of course.

You destroy me.
