Favourite line from a song

Don't Worry Baby - The Beach Boys

I guess I should've kept my mouth shut
When I started to brag about my car
But I can't back down now
I pushed the other guys too far

Pencil Full of Lead - Paulo Nutini

I've got food in my belly
And a licence for the telly.
 
Well, he went down to dinner in his Sunday best
Excitable boy, they all said
And he rubbed the pot roast all over his chest
Excitable boy, they all said

He took in the four a.m. show at the Clark
Excitable boy, they all said
And he bit the usherette's leg in the dark
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy

He took little Suzie to the Junior Prom
Excitable boy, they all said
And he raped her and killed her, then he took her home
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy
After ten long years they let him out of the home
Excitable boy, they all said
And he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy


Or

Well, I went to the doctor
I said, "I'm feeling kind of rough"
He said, "Let me break it to you, son"
Your shit's ****ed up."
I said, "my shit's ****ed up?"
Well, I don't see how--"
He said, "The shit that used to work--
It won't work now."
 
There's a man with a mullet, going mad with a mallet, in Millets.

“Keyboard player required: Doors, Floyd, etc.
Must be committed, no time wasters”
You can guess the rest

"He hit me and it felt like a kiss"

"I know a lovely old toe-rag obliging and noblesse
kindly, charming shag from Shoeburyness"

Ian Dury


"I was tired o' being drunk
My face cracked like a joke
So I swung through here like a brace of jackrabbits
With their necks all broke"

Joanna Newsom
 
I think I'm torn between...

I can take about an hour on the tower of power,
Before I needs me a little golden shower.
(Zappa)

...and...

Love lost, fire at will,
Dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill.
(Sisters of Mercy allegedly spoofing The Mission)

[Obviously these goths are not quite like now goths, and I think there were some other goths in-between and I'm not sure if some emos are new goths or not]
 
A a love B a love so hard to choose.................from The Castle by Love, Arthur Lee talking about a girlfriend going between him and Bryan Maclean.

All time fave -

Prefab Sprout 'Cruel'

'If I'm troubled by every folding of your skirt,
Am I guilty of every male inflicted hurt?
But I don't know how to describe the modern rose,
When I can't refer to her shape against her clothes.
With the fever of purple prose.'

New(er) stuff:

I'm quite a fan of Guy Garvey's lyrics in Elbow - Forget myself

'The man on the door has a head like Mars
Like a baby born to the doors of the bars
And surrounded by steam with his folded arms
He's got that urban genie thing going on'

Given the subject how about:

Music was my first love and it will be my last
Music of the future and music of the past
To live without my music would be impossible do
In this world of troubles my music pulls me through
 
Favourite title (one of)

"There's no lights on the Christmas Tree, Mother, they're burning Big Louie tonight"

Alex Harvey
 
Two from Pavement:

Stereo:

And what about the voice of Geddy Lee
How did it get so high?
I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy?
(I know him and he does)

Shady Lane:

Freeze, don't move
You’ve been chosen as an extra
In the movie adaptation
Of the sequel to your life.
 
Apologies if this has been posted before:

Beat on the brat; beat on the brat; beat on the brat with a baseball bat...
 
Seriously.
I have to ask: what is the average age of posters here?
