Second That.
Greatest Song / Greatest Line.

Thousands of brilliant lines but that one is the greatest!

I watched with glee while your kings and queens fought for ten decades for the gods they made...

Rocks Off ......

Rocks Off ......

Oh Yeah?

I hear you talking when I'm on the street,
Your mouth don't move but I can hear you speak.
What's the matter with the boy?
He don't come around no more,
Is he checking out for sure?
Is he gonna close the door on me?

I'm always hearing voices on the street,
I want to shout, but I can't hardly speak.
I was making love last night
To a dancer friend of mine.
I can't seem to stay in step,
'Cause she come ev'ry time that she pirouettes over me.

And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming,
I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping.

I'm zipping through the days at lightning speed.
Plug in, flush out and fire the f*ckin' feed.
Heading for the overload,
Splattered on the dirty road,
Kick me like you've kicked before,
I can't even feel the pain no more.

But I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming, (only get them off)
I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping.

Feel so hypnotized, can't describe the scene.
Its all mesmerized all that inside me.
The sunshine bores the daylights out of me.
Chasing shadows moonlight mystery.
Headed for the overload,
Splattered on the dirty road,
Kick me like you've kicked before,
I can't even feel the pain no more.

But I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming (only get them off, get them off),
I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping (only get them off, get them off)

Great one... indeed
G'day/ G'devening, Rock

" i wasn`t looking too good but i was feelin` real well"

Howdy man ........ Hey you know me I wouldn't lie to ya ....

Gimmie...Sugar...Luxury....Slaves...Radars...Rough Justice...Won't Take Long....Flip...Hell they all fit the racket....



ROCKMAN

"the sunshine bores the daylights out of me"

"Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way"

"She blew my nose and then she blew my mind"

"Im a cold italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer"

sympathy

Please allow me to introduce myself.......

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then Ill fade away and not have to face the facts
Its not easy facin up when your whole world is black

There are many other great ones.

"Someone that broke me up with the corner of her smile."

The sunshine bores the daylights out of me.
Chasing shadows moonlight mystery.
Headed for the overload,
Splattered on the dirty road,
Kick me like you've kicked before,
I can't even feel the pain no more.

that's just great ain't it

I can see you're just 13 years old, no I don't want your ID

lying as in being dishonest?

Take me to the station
And put me on a train
I've got no expectations
To pass through here again
Once I was a rich man
Now I am so poor
But never in my sweet short life
Have I felt like this before
You heart is like a diamond
You throw your pearls at swine
And as I watch you leaving me
You pack my peace of mind
Our love was like the water
That splashes on a stone
Our love is like our music
Its here, and then its gone
So take me to the airport
And put me on a plane
I got no expectations
To pass through here again

sublime, poetic, timeless...

Another good one:

When you're drunk in the alley, baby, with your clothes all torn
And your late night friends leave you in the cold gray dawn.
Just seemed too many flies on you, I just can't brush them off.
Angels beating all their wings in time,
With smiles on their faces and a gleam right in their eyes.
Whoa, thought I heard one sigh for you,
Come on up, come on up, now, come on up now.

respectable ,well now were respected in society ,we dont worry about the things that used to be ,were talking heroin with the president ,yes it's a problem sir but it can be bent awright,youre so respectable ,youre so respectable , youre so delectable youre so respectable,well know youre a pillar of society, you dont worry about the things that used to be , youre a ragtag girl youre a queen of porn youre the easiest lay on the white house lawn get out of my life go take my wife dont come back youre so respectable

I like the approximate rhyming of "torn" with "dawn"
much better than rhyming "yellow" with "Jello".

"BITCH" lyrics are bitchin"!!

It actually is a Richard Pryor line, and Pryor adapted it from Lenny Bruce. There's another line from Lenny Bruce in a Stones song: "The pool's in but the patio ain't dry".

best lyrics by Keno.

STFD has to be up there.
Exile on main street and some girls albums have some great lyrics.

Memory Motel has a couple lines I really like.. "Every woman seemed to fade out of my mind, i hit the bottle, I hit the sack and cried. Whats all that laughter on the twenty second floor, its just some friends of mine and their bustin down the door."

Jig saw puzzle ------- Stray cat blues


Oh, there's twenty-thousand grandmas
Wave their hankies in the air
All burning up their pensions
And shouting, "It's not fair!"

And there are more
