"i gotta be the one you let eat off your plate"

from "gota be" by b2k. not a stellar group but i love that line 'cause when your your in a relationship you share food or eat off of their plate, intimate stuff that you wouldn't let anybody do.

He took the money to the dope man
and he said he had the best
next thing ya knew, cardiac arrest!

"I hear the endless murmur, every blade of grass that shimmers in the breeze..."

Fingers Of Love ~Crowded House



Because it speaks to feeling the connection to every living thing around you when in love...

“Horses in my dreams. Like waves, like the sea. They pull out of here. They pull they are free”

PJ Harvey "Horses in my dreams"

The power of freedom. When it's real it's as uncontrollable as wild horses running free.

You shouldn't need vagina to have that connection

well, since you've ignored my rule of 1 line each, I will gladly join
you guys with more quotes




Tori Amos - from "Hey Jupiter"


your apocalypse was fab
for a girl
who couldn't choose between
the shower or the bath




that is just a kick ass line
if I ever seen one.

One of the best lines ever....

"Express yourself don't repress yourself."

Madonna "Human Nature

Ah, your hair is beautiful - Ah-ah-ah, tonight.

From 'Atomic' by Blondie.

I like it because it's simple and silly but sums the whole song up. It's a slightly vacuous compliment but heartfelt. It's just like the sort of thing you'd say to somebody in a nightclub.

Joni Mitchell -from "The Last Time I Saw Richard"


The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in '68
and he told me:

"All romantics meet the same fate some day;
cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark café"


because that's what real romantics are to me
well, the kind that talk about making love on
a bed strewn with rose petals and such...

zoom baby
and id like to fly far
way from here



commodores

honey i noticed you waited till after dinner
18 jumbo shrimp



- tricky

Because it sparked me to write one of the most important things I have ever written:

"You were stealing me away from me
Nobody needed me anymore than me
And It's amazing how the tears fall
Water seeds that grow to be your strength to leave
Cuz I'm finally at the point
where I'm ready for the truth
and anything i do from here to make me happy
is up to me not you."

Truth Hurts-"Catch 22"

Cohen and Dylan use very beautiful imagery, Prince is very innovative at times (sometimes too cheesy) but the king, LE ROI, is Jacques Brel. I think he's got thousands of beautiful lines, his whole work is pure poetry. I'll give you some sentences from his best-known song, 'Ne me quitte pas'

Moi je t'offrirai des perles de pluie venues de pays où il ne pleut pas.
Je creuserai la terre jusqu'après ma mort pour couvrir ton corps d'or et de lumière.
(...)
Je t'inventerai des mots insensés que tu comprendras
(...)
Je te raconterai l'histoire de ce roi, mort de na'voir pas pu te rencontrer.

Hell, I can't choose, and this is just one song !

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.

Yes yes ! You know, I was thinking about this one too! But Jacques Brel is even better IMHO, sorry !

Bjork - from "Immature"


How could I be so immature
to think he would replace
the missing elements in me?
how extremely lazy of me

You study literature AND you listen to Joni?

"You want romance?
Would you settle for love?" - Joe Ely ("Settle for Love")

See above.

"September's reminding July
It's time to be saying goodbye" - Tom Waits ("Broken Bicycles")

So clever (and beautiful in the context of the song).

Dutch pink on a downtown train
Two-dollar pistol but the gun won’t shoot

Thats "telegraph road" isn't it? I love that song. Both live and studio!

I tried flashlights but it doesn't really work.

Tori Amos "Gold Dust"

And somewhere Alfie smiles
and says, "Enjoy her every cry
You can see in the dark
Through the eyes of Laura Mars"
How did it go so fast
You'll say as we are looking back
and then we'll understand
we held gold dust
in our
hands


I just can't explain what I feel when I hear those lines!
