Like the title says, what are your favorite lyrics?
I just heard one of my favorite verses today:
“In a seedy karaoke bar by the banks of the mighty Bosporus Is a Japanese man in a business suit singing “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.” And the muscular cyborg German dudes dance with sexy French Canadians While the overweight Americans wear their patriotic jumpsuits”
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave
I try all the time, in this institution And I pray, oh my god do I pray! I pray every single day For revolution
4 non blondes - what’s up
so many, I’ve been on a muse and imagine dragons binge lately.
but instead of mentioning them much, I’m going to say one that caught me by surprise. Heard my wife’s music in the background the other day and this quote stuck in my head:
“you kept me like a secret but I kept you like an oath”
just thought it was an excellent turn of phrase. turns out it was Taylor Swift lol.
“Just like a drunk ballerina, stuck on a tilt-a-whirl.” - the dwarves, everybody’s girl
“Bo peep erotica, my sweet demonica” - the dwarves, demonica
love the phrase “she came in through the bathroom window” and most of the lyrics in that song.
you are young and life is long And there is time to kill today And then one day you find Ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run You missed the starting gun And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun But it’s sinking Racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way But you’re older Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death
Pink Floyd - Time
