favorite lyric LINES in a song

"I caught a glimpse of your splendor in the corner of my eye.
The most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
It was like a flash of lightning reflected off the sky, and I know I'll never be the same.

When I climb down the mountain and get back to my life, I won't settle for ordinary things.
Gonna follow You forever, for all of my days.
I won't rest 'till I see you again."
'Show Me Your Glory' -- Third Day



"I get so clumsy, I get so foolish.
I can be so stupid, and then I feel so useless.
But You're saying you love me, and You still wanna hold me.
And that you wanna be near me, 'cause your making me holy..."
'Clumsy' -- Chris Rice

This thread is a sonofabitch. I could spend weeks posting stuff.

I couldnt pick out one line. It's too good.


And two excerpts from Mojo Pin - Jeff Buckley:

And from the incomparable Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen/Jeff Buckley alternate verses

And I couldnt leave out :

Lover, you should have come over - Jeff Buckley:

And lots of random Elliott (R.I.P.) shit:

I'd post something from the white lady loves you more, (pretty) ugly before, or a distorted reality is a necessity to be free, but it upsets me too much.

How can I forget this:

That's Alex fucking Chilton, of Big Star. The song is "thirteen".

Last,

MC fucking 5.

Werd.

 

Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,
And tell the world that everything's OK,

 

Last night you told her, you could never hold her.
'Cause a cowboy's just gotta be free.
Her heart was breakin', yours was achin',
But you saddled up to follow your dreams.
Coffee on your campfire, wind through the barbed wire,
You huddle close to the flames.
Though she's far behind you, the night wind reminds you.
It just keeps on whisperin' her name.
You can make a run for the border,
Try to hide up the hole in the wall.
But don't you know your arms are achin' to hold her.
And cowboy even though you're ridin' tall...
Cowboy you're riding for a fall..
Midnight the moons up, hands around your tin cup.
The frost settles in on the sage.
The nights gettin' colder, well, man you're gettin' older.
T'night you're feelin' you're age.
Well, why don't you turn back, just saddle up and backtrack.
You know you'll never find a love quite like hers.
And tell me, on a cold lonesome evenin', what the hell goods your
freedom?
Don't you think it's time you hung up your spurs?
You can make a run for the border, try to hide up the hole in the wall.
But don't you know your arms are achin' to hold her.
And cowboy even though you're ridin' tall...You're ridin' for a fall.
Cowboy, you're Riding For A Fall...

 

You can take the boy out of Bandera

Not the other way around

I don't know but man it's true

Those bright lights will get you down

I'm gonna stay on the old concrete

Cause them city girls they smell so sweet

I don't know what the hell they see

But they like my brother and me

 

"...and in her eyes you see nothing. no sign of love behind the tears cried for no one...a love that could have lasted years...." ~beatles

"you know how long i've loved you, you know i always will...will i wait a lonely lifetime, if you want me to, i will.

...love you forever and forever, love you with all my heart. love you whenever we're together, love you when we're apart. and then at last i found you. your song will fill the air. sing it loud so i can hear you. make it easy to be near you. for the things you do endear you to me, oh you know i will. i will!" ~beatles

 

I woke up this mornin, tastin' Jim Beam
Holdin' the answer to some ol' boys dream
I got a bad reputation, yes I'm a live wire
I like my whiskey on ice, and my women on fire
Hank Jr.

Fuck a bitch, fuck a bitch, fuck a bitch!
Kid Rock

Tryin' like the devil to find the Lord
Workin' like a ****** for my room and board
coal burnin' stove, no natural gas
If that ain't country, I'll kiss your ass
DAC

No I don't know the name of the band, but they're good
Aren't they? Would you like to dance?
Yeh, I like this song too, it reminds me of you
Pretty baby, do you think there's a chance....
George Strait

 

She wore red dresses with her black shining hair
She had my baby and caused me to care
Then coldly she left me to suffer and cry
She wore red dresses and told such sweet lies

I never knew him but he took her away
And on my knees like a madman for vengeance I prayed
While the pain and the anger destroyed my weak mind
She wore red dresses and left the wounded behind

I searched til I found them, then I cursed at the sight
Of their sleeping shadows in the cold neon light
In the dark morning silence I placed the gun to her head
She wore red dresses, but now she lay dead

Dwight Yoakam

May be the best damn country song ever written (or maybe not )
