Amazing Song Lyrics

What are the song lyrics that always catches your ear......not whole songs, nothing to do with whether you like the tune etc......just great stand out lines that really says it all in one shot..
Example

Buddy Holly from Not Fade Away
Lyrics : ' Your Love is bigger than a Cadillac


The Verve from Drugs Don't Work
Lyrics: ' All this talk of getting older/ Is getting Me down my Love/Like a cat in a bag, waiting to Drown/ This time I'm Coming Down'

But when you touch me like this
And you hold me like that
I just have to admit
That it's all coming back to me

Re: Amazing Song Lyrics

And bill holdings advertise products that nobody needs
While angry from Manchester writes to complain about
All the repeats on T.V.
And computer terminals report some gains
On the values of copper and tin
While American businessmen snap up Van Goghs
For the price of a hospital wing

Nothing Ever Happens by Justin Currie. Del Amitri (1990)

Re: Amazing Song Lyrics

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire

Re: Amazing Song Lyrics

Gaze at the sky
And picture a memory
Of days in your life.
You knew what it meant to be happy and free
With time on your side...

Remember your daddy
When no one was wiser.
Your ma used to say
That you would go farther than he ever could
With time on your side...

Think of a boy with the stars in his eyes,
Longing to reach them but frightened to try.
Sadly you'd say someday, someday...

But day after day
The show must go on,
And time slipped away
Before you could build any castles in Spain...
The chance had gone by.

With nothing to say
And no one to say it to,
Nothing has changed.
You still got it all to do,
Surely you know.
The chance has gone by...

Day After Day (The Show Must Go On) by The Alan Parsons Project

Those lyrics sum me up. My life. Sorry, just need to play the song:

Re: Amazing Song Lyrics

I've always liked :

"I walk in shadows searching for light
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight
Hoping and praying for someone to care
Always moving and going nowhere "

Which is odd because usually :

"I wake up every morning with a smile upon my face
My natural exuberance spills out all over the place"

Thanks Floydy.....

Those lyrics from Alan Parsons are beautiful, really powerful.

A lot of song lyrics , like those, are pure poetry and a lot are clever , intelligent incisive commentry or observation.... All are brilliant and all are inspiring or thought provoking.

Here's the Foo fighters...
'And I wonder/When I sing along with You/If everything could feel this real Forever/If Everything could be this good again.....

We've all felt like that with our partners at times!!

Re: Amazing Song Lyrics

Your beauty and kindness
Made tears clear my blindness
While I'm worth my room on this earth
I will be with you

While the Chief, puts Sunshine On Leith
I'll thank him for his work
And your birth and my birth.

The Proclaimers, Sunshine on Leith
