Catch your dreams before they slip away...

First the sun and then the moon
One of them will be round soon

Looking out my window, imagining the world has stopped

A smile relieves a heart that grieves

Most of the greats have already been mentioned, but here are a few others I like.

Three lines from Live With Me:
I've got nasty habits, I take tea at three.

My best friend he shoots water rats and feeds them to his geese.

You'd look good pram pushing down the high street.


HTW:
I met a gin-soaked, barroom queen in Memphis
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
She had to heave me right across her shoulder
Cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind


Til the Next Goodbye:
Yeah, a movie house on 42nd Street
Ain't a very likely place for you and I to meet
Watching the snow swirl around your hair and around your feet
And I'm thinking to myself "she surely looks a treat"

Before They Make Me Run:
Booze and pills and powders, you've got to choose your medicine
Well it's another goodbye to another good friend

Stoned
Out of my mind
Here i go
Ah, yeah
Were am i at?
yeah,yeah

The hand of fate is on me now
It picked me up and it knocked me down

the best

this is a nice way to appreciate the poetry of the Stones

Im a fleabit peanut monkey
all my friends are junkies
thats not really truth

... music - it's here
and then
it's gone

Not quite a Stones song, but

"How many days have I to love you?

from Hate It When You Leave gets me every time.

And though shes not really ill
theres a little yellow pill

Booze and pills and powders
You gotta choose your medicine

Brown sugar how come you taste so good

Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send
Ten dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of Jesus
Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California
And next week they'd say my prayer on the radio
And all my dreams would come true
So I did, .................and next week, I got a prayer with a girl
Well, you know what kind of eyes she got

And there will always be a space in my parking lot
when you nedd a little coke and sympathy

I was a butcher cutting up meat
My hands were bloody I'm dying on my feet

Everything is going in the wrong direction
the doctor wants to give me more injection

- and one that I quote often and with feeling:

What a drag it is getting old!

"in the silk sheets of time, i will find peace of mind"

Always loved this one as well.

Yes ive got the dessert in my toenail
and i hid the speed inside my shoe

Love comes at the speed of light

Coming down again, coming down again
Coming down again, coming down again

Heart breakers with your forty fours
I wanna tear your world apart
You heart breaker with your forty four
I wanna tear your world a part

Because you're married anyway ... aww, shit.

In another land where the breeze and the trees and the flowers were blue

Made a rag-pile of my shiny clothes

Bet ya mother was a tent show queen ...

I was born in a cross fire hurricane ....or for that matter any line from JJFlash



ROCKMAN

Love and hope and sex and dreams
are still surviving on the street

Dick and Pat in ol'e DC, they're gonna hold some shit for me - Rip This Joint

And the Queen is bravely shouting, "What the hell is going on?" - Jigsaw Puzzle

Our love is like the water, that splashes on a stone, our love is like our music, its here and then... its gone - No Expectations

Who wants to brave the pouring rain, for a glass of French champaign - She Was Hot

with some Puerto Rican girls... just dying to meet you - Miss You

Never kept a dollar past sunset
always burnt a hole in my pants

Hey babe whats your tale to tell
the good lord gonna ring your front door bell

Keith's lines from Ruby Tuesday are easily the two most immortal and lyrical lines in a Stones song

"Catch your dreams before they slip away"

"Dying all the time, lose your dreams and you will lose your mind"

Thinking this line are suitable for a young rock and roll boy:
Well I never kept a dollar past sunset,
It always burned a hole in my pants

Always took candy from strangers,
Didn't wanna get me no trade

...and these lines maybe show us that they were ahead of their time.
Keep on the look out
Electric eyes
Rats on the sell out
Who gonna testify
You know my habits, way a head of time
Listening to me, on your satellite
