Right, lets keep to topic now please, the line you wait for in a song and then belt it out at full blast is: :)

I am the bringer of disaster,
the one who tolls the bell.

Any guesses as to the artist?

I’ve been dreaming of a time when
The English are sick to death of labour
and Tories
and spit upon the name of Oliver Cromwell
and denounce this royal line that still
Salute him

Na. na. na, na, na in Hey Jude.

But the best thing is not to sing along, but dance along. I propose doing the knees-up to Bad Manners' Lip Up Fatty, dressed in white boiler suit ofcause.

Stood on Fargate, listening via iPod. Watch the Old Bill gather round in seconds.....,

Come on fellow forumers: Which dance do you like to do even though you know it makes you look a dick (and dom)?

there is just one that springs immediately to mind:

'if i hadn't seen such riches i could live with being poor....'

I Fall Apart- Rory Gallagher

I don't mind
Waiting for you love
Borrowed time,
I've got plenty of

More a couple of verses really:

O My O My
What a wretched life
I was born on the day
That my poor mother died
I was cut from her belly
With a stanley knife
My daddy did a jig
With the drunk midwife

Nick Cave - Up jumped the Devil

Or...

And my very close companion
Gets me fumbling gets me laughing
She’s a hundred but she’s wearing
Something tight

Closing Time - Leonard Cohen

Oh No not Leonard (songs from a room) Cohen. Too many bad memories of my teens! "Songs from a room" he was obviosly too depressed to go out. Fortunatly I did, and saved myselffrom Misery.
:thumbsup:

see the world spinning round
well on the way, his head in a cloud
the man of a thousand voices
is talking perfectly loud
but nobody ever hears him
or the sound he appears to make
and he never seems to notice :cool: :cool:

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows


:rolleyes: because i can be a depressing sod

(too hard to just pick 1 line that is very memorable......i cant think of hardly any)

''My teacher couldnt teach me, I had no time for school, no one else could reach me, but baby I'me no fool.'' Number one. The Rutles

What about the knees up to New York, New York at the end of almost every night inda club! ;)

Lucky that my lips not only mumble
They spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains
Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
To run for cover when I need it
And these two eyes that for no other
The day you leave will cry a river

Le do le le le le, Le do le le le le
Can't you see
I'm at your feet

Guess it has been a while since I posted but here it is:

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming
this is by Korn-"Thoughtless"

a few times ive been around that track
so its not just gonna happen like that
cos i aint no hollaback girl
i aint no hollaback girl

Gwen stefani-hollabck girl

If dreams are like movies
Then memories are films about ghosts

-"Counting Crows"- Mrs Potter.

I sat beside the telephone
waiting for someone to pull me through
when at last it didn't ring I knew it wasn't you.

You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools
But that's the way I like it, baby - I don't wanna live forever!

Do I cut down on beer
or the kids new gear?
Its a big decision................


Never a truer word spoken or sung

10 points to the first person who can name the band and the song

It's a big decision in a town called Malice !!!! The Jam :)

Now what do I win??? :heyhey:

Ain't no use in complainin', when you got a job to do - spend my evenin's down at the drive-in, and thats when I met you Yeah!

Lets go crazy
lets get nuts
just look for the purple banana
til they put us in the trucks

Of course there is the line which I like to think has influenced my life the most;

"Cheap red wine, all of the time"

Ian McNabb

Not exactly lines, but great verses.


I don't care if my liver is hanging by a thread
Don't care if my doctor says I ought to be dead
When my ugly big car won't climb this hill
I'll write a suicide note on a hundred dollar bill

Dire Straits - Heavy Fuel.




Now don't talk to me about the polar bear
Don't talk to me about the ozone layer
Ain't much of anything these days, even the air
They're running out of rhinos - what do I care?
Let's hear it for the dolphin - let's hear it for the trees
Ain't running out of nothing in my deep freeze
It's casual entertaining - we aim to please, at my parties.

Dire Straits - My Parties.

"It only took one match
to burn down Kelly Jones" - Chris TT

and

"We will laugh, the day that Thatcher dies" - Hefner

Just off the top of my head :)

Down in a hole and they've put all
The stones in there place
I've eaten the sun so my tongue
Has been burned of the taste
I have been guilty
Of kicking myself in the teeth
I will speak no more
Of my feelings beneath

alice in chains-down in a hole

if man is 5 if man is 5 if man is 5
then the devil is 6 then the devil is 6 then the devil is 6 then the devil is 6
and if the devil is 6
then god is 7 god is 7 god is 7
this monkey's gone to heaven


it must be heard

Eminem-"Mosh" The entire song is about a jerk named George W. Bush!

Come along follow me as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark that we need to proceed
Carry on, give me hope, give me strength
Come with me and I won't steer you wrong
Put your faith and your trust as I guide us through the fog
To the light at the end of the tunnel
We gonna fight, we gonna charge, we gonna stomp, we gonna march
Through the swamp, we gonna mosh through the marsh
Take us right through the doors (c'mon)

'I dream about life and I dream about death and neither one particularly appeals to me' is an all time Morrissey classic.

Also, from Cemetery Gates:-

'You say "'ere thrice hath the sun done salutation to the dawn" and you claim these words as your own; but I've read well and Ive heard them said a hundred times, maybe more'.

But next time it's

'You say "ee do dahs do dums day" words which could only be your own; and then produced the text from whence was ripped, some diddly whore 1804'.

But personally, the one I've chosen as my signature, from Lennon's Working Class Hero takes some beating.

Even though I know all the words to most Stevie Wonder songs I can't resist joining in with "AS"

Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and sea just up and fly away
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4
Until the day that is the day that are no more
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself
Until dear mother nature says her work is through
Until the day that you are me and I am you

when all else fails, rely on this->

Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze

It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!

Arms of steel, hair of gold
Royal blue eyes, with a rebel soul
You scared me, you still do
But I loved you
More than you ever knew

That's beautiful, Cobaltblue.

Where's the quote from?

StarSparkle

The Proclaimers - Act of Remembrance. You gotta hear it StarSparkle, it's really moving. :)

Blackbird singing in the dead of night.
Take these broken wings and learn to fly.
All your life,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night.
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see.
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.
---------------------
This song was written around 36 years ago, and along with it's delecate and intricate accompaniment, led Paul Gambuccini to believe that when he met Paul McCartney shortly after hearing this moving and brilliant song, that he was meeting the most important writer of music since Mozart.

Dead bird singing in the black of night.........

It's not intricate, it's a piece of p**s. Yes, I am refering to the (authentic) drop D tuning, guitar fans. Lovely song, all the same.

Er........it's a bit ridiculous to compare MacCartney to Mozart, however. Pick one of his best songs, say, 'Penny Lane' and listen out for the complexity and skill in composition (and - most importantly - simply how good it sounds). Then dust your ears out and listen to the overture to The Marriage of Figaro (or any of Mozart's overtures, for that matter). Listen out for the complexity and skill in composition. Count the number of brilliant ideas (then give up when you've lost count). Note, simply, how good it sounds. Then faint....

Then put 'Penny Lane' on again. It isn't even on the same planet........and I absolutely LOVE and admire 'Penny Lane'!

PS Don't try this experiment with anything by The Ink Spots - it doesn't work!

Lord Snooty - as I huge Beatles fan...hey, I weighed myself in York the other week and I'm 15 stone...I agree that Macca isn't quite in the mould of Mozart, although For No-One comes close if I'm in the right mood.

Mozart's 40th is simply stunning.

But you forgot to pick up on one vital point: that drop D tuning. I bet ol' Wolfie never thought of that, did he?!

Now, get a violin, and set the strings to drop D and play his 40th Symphony. See, sounds ****e doesn't it?

D'ya think we've been conned?:suspect:

Thanks for that, Cobaltblue. :thumbsup:

I'll keep a listen out for it.

We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky,
and lost among the subway crowds I try to catch your eye.
