what's your favorite song lyric?


Dec 22, 2016, 11:29 AM

not what is the best ever for the masses, but which one speaks to you?

"Never better was my answer when you asked me how I'd been" from It Starts Where It Ends by Perpetual Groove is up there for me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvXLfjXv-nA

I actually use this as my canned response when people say "how have you been?" little better than "living the dream" "doing fine, how bout you?"

So I ask you T-Net, what is your favorite lyric? If you feel like sharing a little background, cool.

from "Angel from Montgomery"

There's flies in the kitchen I can hear 'em there buzzing
And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today.
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
And come home in the evening and have nothing to say.

Hiatt "Icy Blue Heart"


Dec 22, 2016, 11:45 AM

I think John Hiatt has come up with some pretty good lyrics, this was just the first one that came to mind.

She came onto him like a slow movin' cold front
His beer was warmer than the look in her eyes
She sat on a stool, he said, "What do you want?"
She said, "Give me a love that don't freeze up inside."

He said, "I have melted some hearts in my time dear
But to sit next to you, Lord, I shiver and shake
And if I knew love, well, I don't think I'd be here
Asking myself if I've got what it takes."

To melt your icy blue heart
Should I start?
To turn what's been frozen for years
Into a river of tears

"These days we all play cool, calm and collected
Why, our lips could turn blue just shooting the breeze"
But under the frost, well, he thought he detected
A warm blush of red and a touch of her knee

He said, "Girl, you're a beauty like I've never witnessed
And I've seen the Northern Lights dance in the air
But I've felt the cold that can follow the first kiss
And there's not enough heat in the fires burning there."

To melt your icy blue heart
Should I start?
To turn what's been frozen for years
Into a river of tears

There is a bit of history in this one.


Dec 22, 2016, 11:48 AM

I pierced my ear when I was 17. Though I hadn't worn an earring in two decades one of my tween daughters noticed the scar and asked me. Shortly after that my 13 year old son pierced his ear.

His sisters and I sung this song to him for a couple weeks and he hasn't worn a ring since. We took the liberty of changing Georgie to Joshee.

or Bright Eyes. These two stick out.

"Murder In The City"

If I get murdered in the city
Don't go revenging in my name
One person dead from such is plenty
No need to go get locked away
When I leave your arms
The things I think of
No need to get over alarmed
I'm coming home

I wonder which brother is better
Which one our parents loved the most
I sure did get in lots of trouble
They seemed to let the other go
A tear fell from my father's eye
I wondered what my dad would say
He said, "I love you and I'm proud of you both,
In so many different ways"

If I get murdered in the city
Go read the letter in my desk
Don't bother with all my belongings
Pay attention to the list
Make sure my sister knows I love her
Make sure my mother knows the same
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbW08aKDoQ4

"We Are Nowhere And It's Now"

If you hate the taste of wine
Why do you drink it 'til you're blind?
And if you swear that there's no truth and who cares
How come you say it like you're right?
Why are you scared to dream of god
When it's salvation that you want?
You see stars that clear have been dead for years
But the idea just lives on


In our wheels that roll around
As we move over the ground
And all day it seems we've been in between the past and future town

We are nowhere, and it's now
We are nowhere, and it's now
You took a ten-minute dream in the passengers seat
While the world it was flying by
I haven't been gone very long
But it feels like a lifetime

I've been sleeping so strange at night
Side effects they don't advertise
I've been sleeping so strange
With a head full of pesticide

I got no plans and too much time
I feel too restless to unwind
I'm always lost in thought
As I walk a block to my favourite neon sign
Where the waitress looks concerned
But she never says a word
Just turns the jukebox on
And we hum along
And I smile back at her

And my friend comes after work
When the features start to blur
She says these bars are filled with things that kill
By now you probably should have learned

Did you forget that yellow bird?
How could you forget your yellow bird?

She took a small silver wreathe and pinned it onto me
She said this one will bring you love
I don't know if it's true but I keep it for good luck

Dec 22, 2016, 1:34 PM [ in reply to Might sound cheesy, but probably something by the Avett Bros ]

And my life is but a coin, pulled from an empty pocket
Dropped into a slot with dreams of sevens close behind
Hope and fear go with it, and the moon and the sun go spinning
Like the numbers and the fruits before our eyes
Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind
Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind

I'm not gonna dwell because something else will come to mind


Dec 22, 2016, 12:41 PM

first thought was Drive-By Truckers "Love Like This"......includes drinkin, fightin' and truelovin'.

Coming home with a bottle, trying not to break the seal.
This Friday evening traffic's about enough to break a man's will.
And I can't wait to see you and see how your week has gone,
And tear into Old No.7 and make love till dawn.

But your Mama she'll be calling, if she ain't knocking on the door.
And it won't take me long to remember what I brought that bottle home for.

And we'll all get to fighting, just like we always do.
And by Saturday morning, I'll be singing these blues.

(Chorus) Last night I slept with my boots on again,
One cut on my forehead and one my chin,
On the hard old floor with nothin' to cover up with.
You got me real good, girl, and I must admit,
You pack purty mean punch for such a pretty little dish.
And it's a shame to know most folks don't ever know love like this.

Come Monday morning, I'll be sore to fare-thee-well.
Cussin' God and America, wishing them both just to send me off to hell.
But the boss man don't want no excuses when it comes time to get on the clock.
And without that paycheck, I'd lose the rest of what sweet love I got.

repeat chorus

Difficult question to answer. But today I'm going with...


Dec 22, 2016, 1:35 PM

Lil Wayne in "No Love" with Eminem. It's....
"Put a dik in they mouth because it's ### what they say." But that is just a tiny lyric in an incredible verse...

Ah, throw dirt on me and grow a wildflower
But it's "#### the world", get a child out her
Yeah, my life a #####, but you know nothing about her
Been to hell and back, I can show you vouchers
I'm rolling sweets, I'm smoking sour
Married to the game but she broke her vows
That's why my bars are full of broken bottles
And my night stands are full of open bibles uh
I think about more than I forget
But I don't go around fire expecting not to sweat
And these ###### know I lay them down, make them beg
####### try to kick me while I'm down, I'll break your leg
Money outweighing problems on a triple beam
I'm sticking to the ######, you ###### skipping scenes, uh
Be good or be good at it
####### right I've got my gun, semi-cartermatic
Yeah, put a #### in their mouth, so I guess it's #### what they say
I'm high as a ##### up, up and away, man, I come down in a couple of days
Ok, you want me up in a cage, then I'll come out in beast mode
I got this world stuck in the safe, combination is the g-code
It's weezy ############, blood gang and I'm in bleed mode
All about my dough but I don't even check the peephole
So you can keep knocking but won't knock me down
No love lost,
No love found
