Favorite Song Lyrics (Snippets)

[Triple Lindy]

Freedom’s just another word for nuthin’ left to lose.

 

Janis Joplin

[Argonne69]

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid, and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us

A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido

 

- Nirvana, Smells Like Teen Spirit 

 

[TiScape]

[NCLancer]

Broke into the old apartment
This is where we used to live
Broken glass, broke and hungry
Broken hearts and broken bones
This is where we used to live

 

Why did you paint the walls?
Why did you clean the floor?
Why did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door?
This is where we used to live

 

Why did you keep the mousetrap?
Why did you keep the dish-rack?
These things used to be mine
I guess they still are, I want 'em back

 

Broke into the old apartment
42 steps from the street
Crooked landing, crooked landlord
Narrow laneway filled with crooks
This is where we used to live

 

Why did they pave the lawn?
Why did they change the lock?
Why did I have to break in? I only came here to talk
This is where we used to live

 

Barenaked Ladies

[PNWGuy]

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends
So Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?

 

Janis Joplin, Mercedes Benz

[MtlJeff]

I'm the one man army a' son

I never been tooken out

I keep MC's lookin out

 

-ODB

 

Spread like plague

I drink hennessey by the keg

I got the golden egg plus the goose

 

-RZA

 

You heard other raps before but kept waiting for the son of song

I keep dance halls strong

Beats never worthy of my cause , i prolong

Extravaganza, time sits still

No propaganda be wary of the skill

As i bring forth the music, makes love to your eardrums

 

-Cappadonna

[Argonne69]

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along

 

Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
You think I'd crumble?
You think I'd lay down and die?

 

Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive

 

- Gloria Gaynor, I Will Survive

Now some they do and some they don't
And some you just can't tell
And some they will and some they won't
With some it's just as well
 

Supertramp

[PNWGuy]

I'm sittin' at a bar on the inside

Waitin' for my ride on the outside

She broke my heart in the trailer park

So I jacked the keys to her fricken' car

Crashed that piece of chip and then stepped away

Well, I've never been to Heaven
But I've been to Oklahoma
Well, they tell me I was born there
But I really don't remember

In Oklahoma, not Arizona
What does it matter?
What does it matter?            3 Dog

 

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl        Cat Stevens

 

 

 Almost daring him to try and pick him off, the pitcher glances over
Winds up, and it's bunted, bunted down the third base line
The suicide squeeze is on, here he comes, squeeze play
It's gonna be close, holy cow, I think he's gonna make it}

Stop right there, I gotta know right now
Before we go any further, do you love me?
Will you love me forever? Do you need me?
Will you never leave me?            Meatloaf

 

 

 

 

[touch]

… The road is long
With a many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where

… But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

 

 The Hollies

 

 

[touch]

 

And where do we go from here?
Which is the way that's clear?
Still looking for that blue-jean baby-queen
Prettiest girl I ever seen
See her shake on the movie screen

All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)
And the sky is gray (and the sky is gray)
I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk)
On a winter's day (on a winter's day)
I'd be safe and warm (I'd be safe and warm)
If I was in L.A. (if I was in L.A.)

California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day

God only knows what I'd be without you
If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me

God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you

Don't you look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot (what's she got, not a lot)

But here you are and you're a hundred thousand miles away, yeah
They say that absence makes the heart grow fungus
I wax poetic as you're waxing your legs
Oh, you say there's a traitor among us (whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh)

 

If all else fails, you can blame it on me (you can blame it on me)
If all else fails, you can blame it on me
If all else fails, blame it on me
But if all else fails you can blame it on me

Not one of their "bigger" songs but a solid choice!  Very underrated band with great harmony and lyrics.  Thank you for posting this.  And, forgive me for asking, but is much BNL played in Deep South Texas??🤔

Hardly any.  I began listening to BNL back in 93 or 94 via a friend's suggestion.  Gordon is such a good album and I also like Maybe You Should Drive as well despite it not really being a commercial success.

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know

 

- Fleetwood Mac, Dreams 

 

[Argonne69]

Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on

 

Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew and then disappeared
The curtains flew and then he appeared
Saying don't be afraid

 

Come on, baby (and she had no fear)
And she ran to him (then they started to fly)
They looked backward and said goodbye (she had become like they are)
She had taken his hand (she had become like they are)
Come on, baby (don't fear the reaper)

 

- Blue Oyster Cult, (Don't Fear) The Reaper 

 

[stevopagolf]

Take me now baby here as I am
Pull me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed

Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take my hand come undercover
They can't hurt you now,
Can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

 

Bruce Springsteen/Patty Smythe.

 

 

Mama told me when I was young
"Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it'll help you
Some sunny day"
Oh, yeah

Oh, take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You'll find a woman, yeah, and you'll find love
And don't forget son there is someone up above

And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son, if you can?

 

Lynyrd Skynyrd.  RIP Gary Rossington...

 

Living my life in a slow hell
Different girl every night at the hotel
I ain't seen the sunshine in three damn days
Been fueling up on cocaine and whisky
I wish I had a good girl to miss me
Lord, I wonder if I'll ever change my ways

I put your picture away
Sat down and cried today
I can't look at you while I'm lying next to her
I put your picture away
Sat down and cried today
I can't look at you while I'm lying next to her

Well I heard Mister Young sing about her
Well I heard ol' Neil put her down
Well I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern man don't need him around anyhow

Where the skies are so blue

Lord I'm comin' home to you

One liners:

 

One sweet dream came true today

 

Some will go to hell and some will never leave

 

Don’t go usin’ mailboxes for baseballs

 

We get it on most every night

 

Aint no sunshine when she’s gone

 

Cause I sure am usin’ her

 

I knew her smile in an instant

 

We’ll leave the smell of the sea in your bed

[sunbeltgolfer]

I heard the weatherman predict a sunny day

He did not mean to lie

I look outside it's raining anyway, I guess I can live with a rainy day

 

Player, This time I'm in it for love

[Argonne69]

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

 

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

 

- Eurythmics, Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)

Fire all of your guns at once and explode into space

Walkin' along the river road at night, barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight

Let's swim to the moon, let's climb through the tide

Almost forgot about this one. How many times did you sing along to this driving alone? 🤣

 

 

 

My Maserati does one-eighty-five
I lost my license, now I don't drive
I have a limo, ride in the back
I lock the doors in case I'm attacked
