Great lines in a song

[sendô]

It only takes one tree to make
A thousand matches
Only takes one match to burn
A thousand trees

[Estuary]

It only takes one tree to make
A thousand matches
Only takes one match to burn
A thousand trees

Sterophonics. Bloody good live band to.

[sendô]

Yes, one of the best bands I've ever seen live.

Looking at Mondrian, talk about pish
Looks like a label on a tube ay shampoo
There's nothing worse than a miser with a paint brush
A little but ay red, a little bit ay blue
I've come tae see Matisse

[ageing hammer]

The last line really kills me

Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he went down, but to my surprise
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear
Then I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the walls and into the street
Kicking and a-gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer

[thamesideiron]

Sometimes it's like someone took a Knife,Baby,edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley thru the middle of my soul.....
At Night I wake up with the sheets soakin wet,and a freight train runnin thru the middle of my head...
Only You...Can cool my desire..
Oh.oh,oh...I'm on Fire..

[swisstony]

I put on me Doctor Martin shoes
A battle with the spider that I wasn't gonna loose
A kick from the left a kick from the right
I was on the floor but I was alright
It was gonna be a long long night

[Tenbury]

My,OhMy, I have suffered too long,
And this cigarette seems to be very strong,
I'm tired of cheating,and wasting my head,
And filling the boss's bags with bread,
I wanna get out in the sun and rain,
And feel the wind on my skin again,
The World is wide,and you'll get yours yet,
And by the way ,thanks for that cigarette....

..But before I go ,I'd like to say....

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.!

[vietnammer]

Nice guy, meet 'em everywhere!

[norse]

Stonehenge! Where the demons dwell
Where the banshees live and they do live well

[ageing hammer]

From Liam Clancy

THE TWO-HUNDRED YEAR OLD ALCOHOLIC

When I was eighty I started smoking
Took to drinking at eighty-five
At ninety I started courting
Thank God that I was alive
Ninety-five saw me in business
Determined to rake in a pile
At a hundred I made my first million
And I started living in style

Chorus:
Oh, it's never too late to start living
To get out and have some fun
The sun will be just as shiny in the morning
As the first day the world begun

Well I moved to an uptown penthouse
Used fifties to light my cigars
Developed a taste for fine champagne
Drove fast I-talian cars
But the doctor he give me a warning
And a lecture on right and wrong
If I didn't give up my sinful ways
I couldn't live very long

But I said to him...

Oh, it's never too late to start living
To get out and have some fun
The sun will be just as shiny in the morning
As the first day the world begun

Now I'm a two-hundred year old alcoholic
And the nicotine's caught up on me
But worst of all in this morning's mail
Got a suit for paternity
But I'm not really unhappy
'Cause maybe I'll have me a son
And maybe his morning's will be just as shiny
As the first day the world begun

I'm not keen on Half Man Half Biscuit but, from the track Record Store Day.....

"Oh I do like to re-release my B sides"

The Half Man Half Biscuit line that always gets me is ‘Nero fiddles while Gordon Burns…’ from Joy Division Oven Gloves!

[Cockneyboy311]

I saw you at the perfect place
It's going to happen soon, but not today
So go to sleep, make the change
I'll meet you here tomorrow
Independence Day.
