Favorite Song Lyrics (Snippets)

[Fellaheen51]

For 50+ years, this is recollected on occasion:  

 

"I scare myself just thinking about you
I scare myself when I'm without you
I scare myself, the moment that you're gone
I scare myself when I let my thoughts run

 

And when they're running
I keep thinking of you
And when they're running
What can I do?"

 

-- Dan Hicks.  

[Argonne69]

Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone

 

- The Temptations (originally released by The Undesputed Truth) 

 

[DArnie]

She was a fast machine, she kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman that I ever seen
She had the sightless eyes, telling me no lies
Knocking me out with those American thighs   

   

Made a meal outta me, and come back for more    AC/DC

 

"Hey, what's the matter man?"
"We're gonna come around at 12 with some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin' to meet you"
"We're gonna bring a case of wine"
"Hey, let's go mess and fool around you know, like we used to"      Stones

 

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for         U2

 

 "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich       Men at Work

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Argonne69]

The sweetest woman in the world
Could be the meanest woman in the world
If you make her that way
You keep hurting her
She'll keep being quiet
She might be holding something inside
That'll really, really hurt you one day

 

It's a thin line between love and hate

 

- The Pretenders, Thin Line Between Love and Hate 

 

[DoughBack18]

Then she opened up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
From the thirteenth century
And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burnin’ coal
Pourin’ off of every page
Like it was written in my soul from me to you
Tangled up in blue

 

Bob Dylan

[Argonne69]

Don't know the reason
Stayed here all season
Nothing to show but this brand new tattoo
But it's a real beauty
A Mexican cutie
How it got here, I haven't a clue

 

Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know, it's my own damn fault

 

- Jimmy Buffet 

 

[bscinstnct]

Your best friend Harry has a brother Larry
In five days from now he's gonna marry
He's hopin' you can make it there if you can
'Cause in the ceremony you'll be the best man

You say neato, check your libido
And roll to the church in your new tuxedo
The bride walks down just to start the wedding
And there's one more girl you won't be getting

 

🤣

 

-Bust a Move

[touch]

You're livin' in your own private Idaho
Idaho you're out of control
The rivers that roll
You fell into the water and down to Idaho
Get out of the state
Get out of the state you're in
You better beware

You're living in your own private Idaho
You're living in your own private Idaho

 

The B-52's

More B-52s 😎 LOL

 

I got me a car, it's as big as a whale
And we're headin' on down to the Love Shack
I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money

 

You're what?
Tin roof, rusted

Man I remember how at the Video Dance Bars in D.C. ( the 80's ) when this one came on everyone hit the dance floor.  

 

We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock
It was a rock lobster
Rock lobster
Rock lobster
Rock lobster
Rock lobster

Rock lobster

You ain't got to be so bad, got to be so cold

This dog eat dog existence sure is getting old

Got to have a Jones for this Jones for that

This runnin' with the Joneses, boy, just ain't where it's at

 

- Boz Scaggs

[Argonne69]

You love her
But she loves him
And he loves somebody else
You just can't win

And so it goes
'Til the day you die
This thing they call love
It's gonna make you cry

 

I've had the blues
The reds and the pinks
One thing for sure
(Love stinks)

Gonna get drunk don't you have no fear
I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer

[Argonne69]

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

 

- David Bowie 

 

[NCLancer]

Even in the quietest moments
I wish I knew what I had to do
And even though the sun is shining
Well, I feel the rain, here it comes again, dear

 

And even when you showed me
My heart was out of tune
For there's a shadow of doubt
That's not letting me find you too soon

 

The music that you gave me
The language of my soul
Lord, I want to be with you
Won't you let me come in from the cold?

 

Don't you let the sun fade away
Don't you let the sun fade away
Don't you let the sun be leaving
Won't you come to me soon?

 

Supertramp

[iBanesto]

And where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

 

--- The Fray

[Argonne69]

Yeah, here I am sitting on this bar stool,
Talking like a damn fool
Got the twelve o'clock news blues
And I've given up hope for the afternoon soaps
And a bottle of cold brew

Is it any wonder I'm not crazy
Is it any wonder I'm sane at all

 

I've got dozens of friends, and the fun never ends
That is as long as I'm buying

Is it any wonder I'm not the President
Is it any wonder I'm null and void

 

Is it any wonder I've got too much
Time on my hands
It's ticking away with my sanity

 

- Styx, Too Much Time on my Hands 

 

[DArnie]

Baby, baby, I get down on my knees for you

If you would only love me like you used to do, yeah
We had a love... a love... a love you don't find everyday
So don't, don't, don't, don't let it slip away     Righteous Brothers

 

But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well.
You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself   R. Nelson

 

And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're killing yourself if you don't believe it
Get up, (Get up! Get back on your feet)
(You're the one they can't beat, and you know it)
Yeah, come on, (Come on! Let's see what you've got)
(Just take your best shot and don't blow it)            STYX

 

 

 

[DArnie]

I'm gonna take a freight train
Down at the station, Lord
I don't care where it goes
Gonna climb a mountain
The highest mountain
I'll jump off, nobody gonna know

Can't you see, whoa, can't you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin' to me?
Can't you see, can't you see
What that woman, she's been doin' to me?       Marshall Tucker

[Argonne69]

If I could dig down deep in my heart
Feelings would flood on the page
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would ya think the boy's insane?
He's insane

 

I said, I know it's only rock 'n' roll

but I like it

 

- Rolling Stones 

 

[stevopagolf]

He said, "I'll love you till I die"
She told him, "You'll forget in time"
As the years went slowly by
She still preyed upon his mind

He kept her picture on his wall
Went half crazy now and then
But he still loved her through it all
Hoping she'd come back again

Kept some letters by his bed
Dated 1962
He had underlined in red
Every single, I love you

I went to see him just today
Oh, but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away
First time I'd seen him smile in years

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

You know, she came to see him one last time (ooh)
Ah, and we all wondered if she would (ooh)
And it kept runnin' through my mind (ooh)
"This time he's over her for good"

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

 

--George Jones

Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire

I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire

 

- Johnny Cash

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

And the ones mother gives you don't do anything at all.  Jefferson Airplane

Dancin' in the aisles and singin' out loud.  Bad Company

[DLeightonReid]

A screen door slams, Mary's dress sways
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey, that's me, and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside, darling
You know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty but, hey, you're alright
Oh, and that's alright with me

 

Thunder Road by Bruce Springsteen

[DArnie]

Whatever you're looking for
Hey! Don't come around here no more
I've given up, stop              T. Petty

 

A lady that I know just came from Columbia
She smiled because I did not understand
Then she held out some marijuana, ha ha
She said it was the best in all the land

And I said
No, no, no, no, I don't smoke it no more
I'm tired of waking up on the floor
No, thank you, please, it only makes me sneeze
Then it makes it hard to find the door               Ringo

 

 

What would you think if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Hmm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Hmm, going to try with a little help from my friends        Beatles
