What's your favorite song quote?

Here we are again
and you're looking at me
like there's something I'm supposed to say
You think you're so smart
But I've seen you naked
and I'll probably see you naked again

Blame it On Me - Barenaked Ladies

Curiosity, Kitten
Doesn't mean you're on your own
You can look outside your window
He doestn' have to know
We can talk awhile baby
We can take it nice and slow

Murder of One, Counting Crows

*** so embarrassing, but Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues by Elton John

Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me
I could honestly say
That things can only get better

And I guess that's why
They call it the blues
Time on my hands
Could be time spent with you
Laughing like children
Living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why
They call it the blues

Her love is a rose, pale and dying.
Dropping her petals in land unknown
All full of wine, the world before her, was sober with no place to go.


Jeff Buckley

But then the dove of hope began its downward slope
And I believed for a moment that my chances
Were approaching to be grabbed
But as it came down near, so did a weary tear
I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag
Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up

Fiona Apple

made my bed and i sleep like a baby
no regrets and i don't mind saying
its a sad sad story when a mother will teach her daughter to hate a perfect stranger
and how in the world can the words that i said
send somebody so over the edge
that they'd write me a letter
saying that i'd better
shut up and sing or my life will be over

not ready to make nice - dixie chicks

You say you want a leader
But you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain
Prince

I don't know, but I've been told, you never slow down, you'll never grow old.....Tom Petty

Just ONE of my faves

Dave Matthews-Say Goodbye

Float away here with me
An evening just wait and see
But tomorrow go back to your man
I'm back to my world
And we're back to being friends
Wait and see me,
Tonight let's do this thing
All we are is wasting hours until the sun comes up it's all ours
On our way here
Tomorrow go back to being friends

I was working part time in a five-and-dime
My boss was mr. mcgee
He told me several times that he didn’t like my kind
’cause I was a bit 2 leisurely
Seems that I was busy doing something close 2 nothing
But different than the day before
That’s when I saw her, ooh, I saw her
She walked in through the out door, out door

Raspberry Beret, Prince

What would you do if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me.
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,
I will try not to sing out of key.

' I'm a cactus trying to be canoe'

----The Ascent of Man, REM ( I am a billino other REM ones, but that is frequently in my head.

And from the same song,

'My book is called 'The Ascent Of Man'
I marked your chapter with a catamaran
The accent's off
But I am what I am'

Well, I’ve been afraid of changing
’cause I’ve built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I’m getting older too

True Colors, Cyndi Lauper

You with the sad eyes
don't be discouraged
oh I realize
it's hard to take courage
in a world full of people
you can lose sight of it all
and the darkness inside you
can make you fell so small

In Your Eyes, Peter Gabriel

I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes

I can do it in the water
I can do it on dry land
I can do it with instruments
I can do it with my own bare hands

Poe

Covered by the blind belief
That fantasies of sinful screens
Bear the facts, assume the dye
End the vows no need to lie, enjoy
Take a ride, take a shot now

Portishead

At my most beautiful
I count your eyelashes, secretly.
With every one, whisper I love you.
I let you sleep.
I know you're closed eye watching me,
Listening.
I though I saw a smile.


I've found a way to make you smile
I've found a way
A way to make you smile

* who knew you all had such fabu taste in music.

** I should have known

Pour me somethin tall and strong
Make it a hurricane before I go insane,
It's only half past twelve, but I don't care
It's 5 o'clock somewhere......

this song just makes me feel happy and makes me want to go into the city and dance....and i don't dance.

from Streetcorner Symphony (rob thomas)
It's morning
I wake up
The taste of summer sweetness on my mind
It's a clear day
In this city
Let's go dance under the street lights
All the people in this world
Let's come together
More than ever
I can feel it
Can you feel it

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.

'tears on the sleeve of a man...dont want to be a boy today.....'


i work with men - and take alot of CRAP trying to be cool like the guys- so that lyric touches me

'I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want.
So, tell me what you want, what you really really want.
I wanna (huh) I wanna (huh) I wanna (huh) I wanna (huh)
I wanna really really really wanna zia-a-zig Ahhh.'
