All Time Best Song Lines

[Timmy]

I thought the wreck was over,
I thought the fire was out,
I thought the storm had passed
And I was safe at last
I thought the wreck was over...
But here she comes again!

-- The Flatlanders, "I Thought the Wreck Was Over"

[DAII]

From Beck's "Loser" ... early 90's:

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey

And my time is a piece of wax fallin’ on a termite who's chokin’ on the splinters

Love me some metaphors!!!!

[Baron1710]

Just got off the Phone with Lee Stoneking he wanted me to post some lyrics from the Rooftop Singers:

Walk right in, sit right down,
Baby let your hair hang down.

[dizzyde]

For those days we felt like a mistake,
Those times when love’s what you hate,
Somehow, We keep marching on.
...
There’s so many wars we fought,
There’s so many things we’re not,
But with what we have,
I promise you that,
We’re marching on.

For all of the plans we’ve made,
There isn’t a flag I’d wave,
Don’t care if we bend,
I’d sink us to swim,
We’re marching on.

For those doubts that swirl all around us,
For those lives that tear at the seams,
We know, We’re not what we’ve seen,

For this dance we’ll move with each other.
There ain’t no other step than one foot,
Right in front of the other.

We’ll have the days we break,
And we’ll have the scars to prove it,
We’ll have the bombs that we saved,
But we’ll have the heart not to lose it.

For all of the times we’ve stopped,
For all of the things I’m not.

We put one foot in front of the other,
We move like we ain’t got no other,
We go when we go,
We’re marching on.

Selections from one of my new favorites, "Marchin On", by One republic (Ryan Tedder)

Rod Stewart Forever Young

May the Good Lord be with ya down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud, dignified, and true
And do unto others as you would have done to you

Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you'll always stay
Forever young (forever young)
Forever young (forever young)

May good fortune be with you, may your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven with a prince or vagabond

And may you never love in vain
And in my heart you will remain
Forever young (forever young)
Forever young (forever young)

For ever young
For ever young
Yeah!

<instrumental interlude>

And when you fin'lly fly away I'll be hopin' that I served ya well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime no one can ever tell

But whatever road ya choose
I'm right behind you, win or lose
Forever young (forever young)
Forever young (forever young)

For ever young
For ever young
For! For! ever young
For ever young

[deacon blues]

Just like a star across my sky
Just like an angel off the page
You have appeared to my life
Feel like I'll never be the same
Just like a song in my heart
Just like oil on my hands
Oh, I do love you

Still I wonder why it is
I don't argue like this
With anyone but you
We do it all the time
Blowing out my mind

You've got this look I can't describe
You make me feel like I'm alive
When everything else is a fade
Without a doubt you're on my side
Heaven has been away too long
Can't find the words to write this song
Oh, your love

Still I wonder why it is
I don't argue like this
With anyone but you
We do it all the time
Blowing out my mind

I have come to understand
The way it is, it's not a secret anymore
'Cause we've been through that before
From tonight I know that you're the only one
I've been confused and in the dark, now I understand

I wonder why it is
I don't argue like this
With anyone but you
I wonder why it is
I won't let my guard down
For anyone but you
We do it all the time
Blowing out my mind

Just like a star across my sky
Just like an angel off the page
You have appeared to my life
Feel like I'll never be the same
Just like a song in my heart
Just like oil on my hands
