Best Line in all of Rock 'n' Roll

[NFBuck]

Can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet:

"The highways jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybodys out on the run tonight but theres no place left to hide
Together wendy we'll live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
Someday girl I dont know when were gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go and well walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us baby we were born to run"

This thread needs some Aerosmith. The lines at the beginning of Dream On are good, the bolded on is my fav:

Every time I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It goes by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

Yeah, I know nobody knows
where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life
is in books' written pages
Lived and learned from fools and
from sages
You know it's true
All the things come back to you


Heres some lines from Meatloaf's "Paradise By the Dashboard Light"

You got to do what you can
And let Mother Nature do the rest
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed

And I gotta let ya know
No you're never gonna regret it
So open up your eyes I got a big surprise
It'll feel all right
Well I wanna make your motor run

I couldn't take it any longer
Lord I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me
Like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore that I would love you to the end of time!

So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!

Any other Vietnam Vets on BP? if so, here's our favorite:

We gotta get out of this place,
if it's the last thing we ever do.
We gotta get out of this place,
girl there's a better place for you and me.

Eric Burden and the Animals

 

[CookyPuss]

How about some Billy Joel?

"Come out Virginia, don't let me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
aw But sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one

well, They showed you a statue, told you to pray
They built you a temple and locked you away
Aw, but they never told you the price that you pay
For things that you might have done.....
Only the good die young"



"I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone"

We take all kind of pills to give us all kind of thrills but the thrill we’ve never known
Is the thrill that’ll getcha when you get your picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone.

Rolling Stone – wanna see my picture on the cover-
Stone- wanna buy 5 copies for my mother-
Stone- wanna see my smilin’ face

[Buckeye Buh Nim]

But my vote has to go to:

Any and all of the lyrics by Neil Peart of Rush.
​

Especially La Villa Strangiato.



Here is a favorite...

When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool


If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat


The Who- Behind Blue Eyes. (the whole song is worthy IMO)

 

[Pimpinnati]

If you wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes you'll just have to claw your way through this disguise ...

 

[Bleed S & G]

"Johnny's in the basement mixing up the medicine, I'm on the pavment thinkin' bout the government."

 

[BuckeyeTillIDie]

"Living is easy with eyes closed"

- The Beatles (Lennon) - Strawberry Fields Forever

 

[mercer_buckeye]

"You make a dead made cum." - Rolling Stones (Start Me Up)

I believe the line is "You make a dead man cum." Stolen from Ma Rainey.

"Well, I met a girl at the Rainbow bar
She asked me if I'd beat her
She took me back to the Hyatt House
I don't want to talk about it"

-Warren Zevon "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me"

 

[buckeyebri]

Its all right if you love me
Its all right if you don't
I'm not afraid of you runnin away
Honey, I get the feelin you won't

There is no sense in pretendin
Your eyes give you give away
Something inside you is feelin like I do
We've said all there is to say

Baby, breakdown, go ahead give it to me
Breakdown, honey take me through the night
Breakdown, Im standing here, can you see?
Breakdown, its all right
Its all right

I always did like that song:

 

[stxbuck]

Forget your lust/For the rich man's gold
All that you need son, is in your soul
You'll find a woman/and you'll find love
And don't forget there is someone/Up above
And be a simple kind of man.....
Lynrd Skynyrd Simple Man


Mom said son go find a good woman
But I grabbed the first thing I seen
Nashville Pussy Hitchhike Down to Cincinnati

 

[BuckNutty]

They said timing was everything
Made him want to be everywhere
There's a lot to be said for nowhere

 

[CCI]

Forget your lust/For the rich man's gold
All that you need son, is in your soul
You'll find a woman/and you'll find love
And don't forget there is someone/Up above
And be a simple kind of man.....
Lynrd Skynyrd Simple Man


Mom said son go find a good woman
But I grabbed the first thing I seen
Nashville Pussy Hitchhike Down to Cincinnati

That Awseome, put me in for the mood for some Freebird.


If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
