I pulled into Nazereth, was feelin 'bout half-past dead.
Fuzz, too easy, but still fun! From The Last Waltz...

Here is a rather long one but great start to an amazing song.....
"Music holds the secret
to know can make you whole
Its not just a game of notes
its the sounds inside your soul.
Magic of the melody
Runs through you like a stream
the notes you play
flow through your head like a dream.....like a dream...like dream
I sing this song for the common man
for the people in dispear
I bring my song into the world
and I sing it everywhere
The simple truth lies waiting here
for everyone to share
so Hold On...
and I will take you there...
hold on and I will...take ..you there........."
jeffcope wrote:'I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand.
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain.'One of the best opening lyrics to a song. My opinion anyway.
Whats the view of other forum members?
Hi Jeff, what artist and track is that from ?
Sorry Brack
Warren Zevon. Werewloves of London from Excitable Boy.
A mother sings a lullaby to a child
Sometime in the future the boy goes wild
And all his nerves are feeling some kind of energy
So Loooooooong, how I hate to see you go...
So Loooooooong, how I hate to see you go...
and the way I'm gonna miss you
Darling you'll never know
I'm listening to that now! I have to agree!!
P.S. I love the Warren Zevon... I love that song. AAAAOOOOOOOOOO Wereeolves of London

"You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you ... "
"SO LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG I hate to see you go."
- Joe Bonamassa's Reconsider Baby
"You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you ... "
Human League - "Don't You Want to" Another gem from the Eighties.
A little different genre, but I always loved:
I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so special about that place
Even your emotions have an echo in so much space.

Look, if you had, one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted - one moment
Would you capture it? Or just let it slip?
Jane, I never had you down as an Eminem fan.
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
Wish you were here

Probably one of my favorite Beatles tunes not just for the lyrics, but the 12 string Rickenbacher intro: If I needed someone to love
You're the one that I'd be thinking of
If I needed someone
Have your favorite cover band play that and have them dedicate it to your date and see what happens...........now we live together, Thanks George!!!
Think Green,

On a lighter note: It's Saturday night and I'm just hangin' out
Lookin' for a place to party.........................
Bump de Bump de Bump, Bump City.
How could we ever forget these memorable opening lyrics?:
"In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, honey,
don't you know that I love you?
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, baby,
don't you know that I'll always be true?"
And this is one of my favorite opening lines from our Master of Ceremonies here:
"You drive West on 80 and it won’t take too long,
‘Til the road starts climbing up to mountain time.
There’s a girl I know there, she lives free and easy,
And she shows me wonders and she takes my mind."

Yeah me too.
I don't know too much about love, baby...
'The leaves are falling all around
Time I was on my way
But still I'm much obliged
Such a pleasant stay'
You could see me reaching
So why couldn't you have met me half way ?
You could see me bleeding
And you would not put pressure on the wound
You only think about yourself
You only think about yourself
You better bend before I go
On the first train to Mexico

I've been thinking about this long and hard, and I still can't decide if I have a favourite, but some that keep popping into my head are.........
The lunatics are on the grass, the lunatics are on the grass,
Remembering games, daisy chains and laughs,
Got to keep the loonies on the path
Pink Floyd - Brain Damage
and
Don't know much about dancing,
That's why I got this song,
One of my legs is shorter than the other,
And both of my feet's too long
Frank Zappa - Dancing Fool
Jono
I dig a pygmy, by Charles Haughtry and the Dephids, phase one in which Doris gets her oats...
