The title speaks for itself. What are some of your favorite lines from your favorite songs? For me, today at least, is simple; "There will be an answer, let it be."

"So I look into myself
Into the days when I was just a child
Come follow me to wonderland
And see the tale that never ends
Don't fear the lion nor the witch
I can't come back
I'm lost but still I know
There is another world"

the tears will begin.
To my everlasting shame,
silence took me."

Aw-ooooooooooooooooooooooo!


"If fashion is your trade
then when you're naked
does that mean that you're unemployed."

Shadow Lodge

"I never understood the hate on a nigga’s preference
When every marriage is a same sex marriage
Same sex everyday, monotonous
Lost god never pray, forgotten us
Lost love, never say just like our parents"


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

"I try to tell my people
There should not be any hatred
For a brother or a sister
Whose opposite race they've mated
No man is God
And God put us all here (yeah)
But this system has no wisdom
The devil split us in pairs
And taught us White is good, Black is bad
And Black and White is still too bad
That's why everytime I turn around
All the people in my neighborhood
Look and get mad and sing..."

"'Pollywanna...?'"

They can still see his headless body stalking through the night
In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun

This takes me back to:

"The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast
I've the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street."


"No fear, cavalier, renegade, steer clear
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline"

Scarab Sages

What do you think when you spit im my face
How does it feel to accuse and to haze
Now look at me, I'm not one of your kind
And I prefer to stay behind
And walk the wicked way


F~%$ this and f!#@ that
F!&& it all and f+$+ the f~!$ing brat

Poetry, man.


Going off Doodlebugs poem:
F!~+ it all and f+!%ing no regrets. Never happy endings on these dark sets. All's fair for Damage Inc. you see. step a little closer if you please...
or:
Beat on the brat Beat on the brat Beat on the brat with a baseball bat...

Sometimes those little bits of aggression get you thru an encounter with a nimrod and keep you out of jail.

but then theres the ones that just kill your heart
And he's lookin' at her the way I did
when I first met her
I could see in his face
white flowers
and cups of coffee
and love letters

or
I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave,
I will work to elevate you
just enough to bring you down

or Mr Croce
Summer skies and lullabies
Nights we couldn't say good-bye
And of all of the things the we knew
Not a dream survived

or theres the silly too:
Drunken milkmen driving drunk,
Swerves on the curves.

or
So you'd better get out of my way,
when I run through your yard;
Because I've got a B*#@~IN CAMARO;
And an Exxon credit card.

or
In the not-too-distant future
Next Sunday, A.D.
There was a guy named Joel,
Not too different than you or me

Love that song. Love that line.

The entire song, Across the Universe is itself a favorite line of mine. But if I had to narrow it down, it would be:

"Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letterbox, they tumble blindly as they make their way across the Universe..."

My mom played the Beatles for me since before I was born. This song is where I learned the word meander - a word I am very fond of. LOL

Operator
Oh, let's forget about this call
There's no one there I really wanted to talk to
Thank you for your time
Oh, you've been so much more than kind
You can keep the dime

and, of course,

Well the two men took to fightin'
And when they pulled them from the floor
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
With a couple of pieces gone

There are many places where I come from
There are many people that I've become
There are many reasons for what I've done
All this has happened, all this will happen.


Wow, there are some truly great lines and songs mentioned here! The Warren Zevon stuff is awesome! Now I've got to go listen to some of his stuff while it's on my mind!

My contribution today is from WASP's "Hallowed Ground".

"Father, do you hear me?
This pain I will not cry aloud
Oh Father, I know you hear me
My head is bludgeoned but unbowed, oh"


From Letters from Traffic's song No devil.

I don't need no devil to tell me
what I should be tempted by.
Don't need to heaven or hell
to sell me a season of penance for asking why.

Oh and a bit more... spiritual.

Oh God of Earth and Altar, bow down and hear our cry.
Our Earthly falter, our people drift and die.
The walls of gold entomb us, the swords of scorn divide
Take not thy thunder from us, take away our pride.


I'm close the heaven
crashed at the gate
they sharpen their knives
on my mistakes

"Ami, si tu tombes, un ami sort de l'ombre à ta place."

Friend, if you fall, a friend steps out of the shadow and takes your place.

And pretty much the whole Chant des Partisans. I find it a very lifting song, if somber. It is actually the main inspiration for my PFS character (and alias).

From Lean on me (The Temptations).

Sometime in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise we know that there's
Always tomorrow

Liberty's Edge

Wind on my face, sound in my ears
Water from my eyes, and you on my mind
As I sink, diving down deep...deeper into your soul.

On this side of paradise
You're never going to go through twice
Stay tuned at any price
To this side of paradise

C'mon, baby, c'mon darling,
Let me steal this moment from you now.
C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling,
Let's exchange the experience.

If you're wondering how he eats and breathes

And other science facts,
Just repeat to yourself "It's just a show",
I should really just relax.

Love that line.


"Everybody's talking 'bout
Wanting that and needing this
I just like to know if you want to learn a different way to kiss"

I thought that was Bill Withers. Maybe they did it, as well.

You can't afford to miss a day--call in sick, you'd better stay that way

Baby this town rips the bones from your back, it's a death trap, it's a suicide rap

Whenever you are walking you're just moving the ground
Whenever you are talking you're just moving your mouth
Where ever you look you're just looking down

It wouldn't be lonely, I've got a long way to go, I'm getting further away

Where's the shame, shouting from a lot where the kids can't play
And I'll walk back again, thinking of the way that it could have been
And I hope that I make a mark, and stand strong even when I'm gone

Claimin you a murderer and you spelled it wrong

His name's Raymond and oh oh sorry oh sorry whoa but that was a long time ago
when I was just Joe shmo rapping in Joe blow's basement I've apologized fo' it befo'
so
either accept it or you don't
and let's move on if I ain't that shown I've grown then get to the bone Keep licking these nuts, you industry mutts keep walking around sniffing each other's butts or should I say @$$e$? what would be the more politically correct term to use for the masses
-Eminem

When on the road to sweet Athy, Hurroo Hurroo

Lots of favorite lines, but todays set would be:

So keep your auditions for somebody
Who hasn't got so much to lose
You can tell by the lines I'm reciting
I've seen that movie too

Stop me before I fill the thread with Taupin lyrics!

Speaking of which:

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact, it's cold as Hell
And there's no one there to raise them, if you did
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week.

Oh what's that?
So now you say life sucks?
Well 99 percent of it is what you make of it
So if your life sucks, you suck.

-Suicidal Tendencies

From the point of conception
To the moment of truth
At the point of surrender
To the burden of proof
From the point of ingition
To the final drive
The point of the journey
Is not to arrive

-Rush
