Best song lyric?

And in a darkened underpass, I thought
Oh God! my chance has come at last
But then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn't ask.........

Smiths - there is a light (greatest ever song)

There were times when I could have murdered her
But you know
I would hate anything to happen to her.....

Smiths - girlfriend in a coma

Then I put the letter back in the place where it was found
In a pocket, of a jacket, on a train in town
Sent to her from Heaven
Sally Cinnamon, you're her world

Stone Roses - sally cinnamon

And possibly the greatest ever song lyric, in my opinion:

You're so vain, I bet you think this song is about you

carly Simon - you're so vain
 
Walk in silence,
Don't turn away, in silence.
Your confusion,
My illusion,
Worn like a mask of self-hate,
Confronts and then dies.
Don't walk away.

If I go there will be trouble, if I stay it will be double.

They got Burton suits, ha you think it's funny
Turning rebellion into money

When we had this thread a year or so ago I went for "White man" : Therefore I will go with this;

If only I thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
all my pictures of you
 
In my life why do I give valuable time to people who don't care if I, live or die

What else should I be, all apologies. What else should I say, everyone is gay. What else should I write. I don't have the right. What else should I be, all apologies

Tried to get your attention all night long, asked you once, asked you twice, asked you four times If you'd like to dance to that song. Front crawled the crowd, down the stairs. And I followed you out in the rain, nowhere to be found. Never mind you'll probably never look that pretty again.

I never knew, I never knew that everything was falling through that everyone I knew was waiting on a queue to turn and run when all I needed was the truth

Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

Hes the one, who likes all our pretty songs and he likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun, but he don't know what it means
 
Nervous Breakdance - Custard

And maybe, a million years from now
You will look back on me, and say "well maybe I should have..."
And I tell you know, baby you could have...
But that was a million years ago...


Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win - Beastie Boys

I keep the competition in check
You draft your plans at your drafting desk
You try to play to win but now you lost
Like clams with no tartar sauce
 
So you say you wanted money,
but you know its never funny.
When your shoes worn through,
and there's a rumble in your tummy.
But you had to have style,
get a gold tooth smile.
Put a girl on the corner,
so you can make a pile.
Committed a crime,
and went inside.
It was coming your way,
but you had to survive.
When you lost your babe,
you lost the race.
Now you're looking at me,
to take her place.
 
is it worth it
a new winter coat and shoes for the wife
and a bicycle on the boy's birthday
it's just a rumour that was spread around town
by the women and children
soon we'll be shipbuilding
well i ask you
the boy said 'dad they're going to take me to task
but i'll be back by christmas'
it's just a rumour that was spread around town
somebody said that someone got filled in
for saying that people get killed in
the result of this shipbuilding
with all the will in the world
diving for dear life
when we could be diving for pearls
it's just a rumour that was spread around town
a telegram or a picture postcard
within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
and notifying the next of kin
once again
it's all we're skilled in
we will be shipbuilding
with all the will in the world
diving for dear life
when we could be diving for pearls
 
you better stop dreamin of the quiet life, coz its the one we'll never know.
quit runnin for the runaway bus coz those rosey days are few, and,
stop apologisin, for the things you've never done,
coz time is short and life is cruel but its up to us to change this town called malice...

rows and rows of disused milkfloats stand dyin' in the dairy yard,
and a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milkbottles to their hearts,
hangin' out their old love letters, on the line to dry,
its enough to make you stop believin' when tears come fast n furiuos in a own called malice...
ooh yeah.

ba ba ba ba badaba, ba ba badaba ooh....x2

struggle after atruggle, year after year,
the atmospheres a fine blend of ice an' im almost stone cold dead, in a town called malice..ooh yeah.

a whole streets belief, in sundays roast beef, gets dashed, against, the co op,
to either cut down on beer or the kids new gear,
its a big decision in a town called malice!...ooh yeah.

the ghost of a steam train, echos down my track,
its at the moment bound for nowhere, just goin' round an' round oh,
playground kids an' creakin' swings,
lost laughter in the breeze,
i could go on for hours an' i probably will,
but id sooner put some joy back in,
this town called malice!...

TOWN CALLED MALICE, 1982.
