She comes out of the sun with her silk dress running like a watercolor in the rain-Al Stewart Year of the Cat


I know you'll have a beautiful life I know you'll be a star in someone else's sky-Pearl Jam Black

They called it paradise I don't know why, call some place paradise kiss it goodbye-The Eagles The Last Resort

The sunshine bores the daylight out of me-Rolling Stones Rocks Off

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss-The Who Won't Get Fooled Again

Yabba dabba doo the king is gone and so are you-George Jones The King is Gone

I was staying at the Marriet with Jesus and John Wayne
I was waiting for a chariot they were waiting for a train-Warren Zevon My Ride's Here

And if California falls into the ocean like the mystics and statistics say it will
I believe this motel will be standing until I pay my bill-Warren Zevon Desperadoes Under the Eaves

And the wino and I know the joy of the ocean like a boy knows the joy of his milk shake in motion-Jimmy Buffet The Wino and I Know

Mother mother ocean after all this time I found an occupational hazard be it my occupation's just not around-Jimmy Buffet A Pirate Looks at Forty

Just to be hip and get wet with the jet set
But they're flying too high to see my point of view-Van Morrison St. Dominic's Preview

Oak tree you're in my way-Lynyrd Skynyrd That Smell

You can blow out a candle but you can't blow out a fire
Once the flame begins to catch the wind will blow it higher-Peter Gabriel Biko

Standing on the moon with nothing left to do
a lovely view of heaven but I'd rather be with you-Grateful Dead Standing on the Moon

Run, run, run for the roses quicker it opens the sooner it closes

Reach for the sun catch hold of the moon they're both too heavy but what can you do- both from Jerry Garcia Band Run for the Roses

Rock on gold dust woman take your silver spoon dig your grave-Fleetwood Mac Gold Dust Woman

I can't do everything but I'll do anything for you

I agree with the comments on Springsteen. His politics are full of fecal matter but from 1975 to 1984 no one could touch him in the lyric writing department.

Kids flash guitars just like switchblades-Jungleland

There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets-Thunder Road

Few great ones from The Cure
(Not really single line but instead a complete lyric)

“Slow drowned, you were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes, but I never see anything”

"If only I'd thought of the right words, I could have held on to your heart.
If only I'd thought of the right words, I wouldn't be breaking apart all my pictures of you."

“Every time I try to pick it up like falling sand, as fast as I pick it up, it runs away through my clutching hands.”

“Yeah, I like you in that, like I like you to scream
But if you open your mouth, then I can't be responsible
For quite what goes in or to care what comes out
So just pull on your hair, just pull on your pout”

“I can’t stay here every yesterday.”

“My taste in music is your face”
Twenty one Pilots-Tear in my Heart

“Sheets of empty canvas
Untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
As her body once did
All five horizons
Revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed
Has taken a turn”
Pearl Jam- Black

Some of its magic, some its tragic,

but I've had a good life along the
way.

Yes, a lap dance is so much better when the stripper is cryin'
Yes, a lap dance is so much better when the stripper is cryin'
Well I find it's quite a thrill
When she grinds me against her will
Yes a lap dance is so much better when the stripper is cryin'

Well, it ain't such a long drop,
Don't stammer, don't stutter
From the diamonds on the sidewalk
To the dirt in the gutter
And you carry your own dreams
To remind you wherever you go

Pink Floyd

Most widely known? - Wish you were here:

“We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year.”

My favorite … Time

“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

Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught
Or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation
Is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over
Thought I'd something more to say”


Lastly…Incubus - Wish you were here:

“I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind, pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment, I am happy
Happy

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here

I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles a back-lit canopy with holes punched in it
I'm counting UFOs, I signal them with my lighter
And in this moment, I am happy
Happy“

If I could go back I'd use this as my senior quote in the yearbook.

So many faces in and out of my life
Some will last, some will just be now and then
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes
I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again


"Say Goodbye to Hollywood" - Billy Joel

But older than me now
More constant, more real
And the fur and the mouth and the innocence turned
To hair and contentment
That hangs in abasement
A woman now standing
Where once there was only a girl

quote:


I miss the kiss of treachery
The aching kiss before I feed
The stench of a love for a younger meat
And the sound that it makes when it cuts in deep
