You sent back my records and there all scratched -
"Can't Stand Losing You" - The Police

I think we've all had a pissed off girlfriend/boyfriend at some point in our lives

Everytime I hear it, it makes me laugh.

"So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts
What's so amazing about really deep thoughts?
Boy, you best pray that I bleed real soon
How's that thought for you?"

I have two faves at the moment:
"Lay down your heavy burdens on the banks of this river deep. Know that every piece of your past is always some place safe with me." Amel Larrieux - "No One else"

and...

"If I could hold on through the tears and the laughter - would it be beautiful, or just a beautiful disaster?" Kelly Clarkson - "Beautiful Disaster"

They can say what they want about John Mayer as a person but he is a very talented artist. One of my favorite lines comes from his "Room For Squares" CD.
The line is from the song 'No Such Thing' and it is, "I like to think the best of me is still hiding up my sleeve". Great!

Leaving Dylan aside, or I'd be here for a while...

"She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake" - Elvis Costello (Watching the Detectives) - a whole film noir tale in one line.

"If our bones bleach on the desert, we'll consider we are blessed" - Tom Russell (Tonight We Ride) - especially in the context of where it sits in a song with a lot of good lines.

"You take what you need and you leave the rest, but they should never have taken the very best" - The Band (The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down)

Van Morrison, in my opinion, has written the greatest number of memorable song lines. One of my favorites is from "Precious Time" from his "BACK ON TOP" CD.

"Precious time is slipping away/ But you're only king for a day/ It doesn't matter to which god you pray/ Precious time is slipping away/ It doesn't matter what route you take/ Sooner or later the heart's going to break/ No rhyme or reason, no master plan/ No Nirvana, no promised land"
