One line from a song

[Robert Engleheart]

“ You come home straight and you come home curly
Sometimes you don’t come home at all….
You’ve broken the speed of the sound of loneliness “

“There’s a hole in daddy’s arm where all the money goes”

The immortal John Prine

 

[Brute]

Bob Dylan;

" I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes/You'd know what a drag it is to see you“​

I quote this line as possibly the greatest line written in a song...

 

[Brute]

"Get your motor runnin"...Steppenwolf.

This is the only song that I sang karaoke (once) on the island of Bikini when there was only 6 people on the entire island...and it took a few beers at that.

Several lines by Alan Parsons Project - "What Goes Up" on their album Turn of a Friendly Card :

What goes up must come down
What must rise must fall
And what goes on in your life is writing on the wall!

Pick what each one goes with. First line definitely an airplane...

Love Alan Parsons. That's from Pyramid; every song is a gem...

I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I want a girl who knows what's best
I want a girl with shoes that cut
And eyes that burn like cigarettes

I want a girl with the right allocations
Who's fast and thorough
And sharp as a tack
She's playing with her jewelry
She's putting up her hair
She's touring the facility
And picking up slack

I want a girl with a short leader and
A loooooooong...tippet
(lyrics modified slightly)

[East Coaster]

"Whiskey bottle and brand new car, oak tree you're in my way." - Lynyrd Skynyrd, That Smell

(t's an opening line, to boot.)

 

[t_law]

Saw my reflection and cried, hey
So little hope that I died, oh
Feed me your lies, open wide, hey
Weight of my heart, not the size, oh

 

[Zak]

You poor take courage, you rich take care.

 

[Doublebluff]

Well, I laid my head on the railroad track, waiting for the double E
But the train don’t run by here no more, poor poor pitiful me.

Warren Zevon
