Amanda Marshall's Birmingham

"It's 3 am and Virgil's passed out on the sofa
A fifth of Jim Beam on the floor
She's packed her bags, she slips the keys out of his pocket
She's careful not to slam the door
And as she drives she rubs her rosary
She's never been so all alone, she's never felt so free
She got miles to go
Blind faith and hope"

Its that phrase "She's never been so all alone, she's never felt so free" ...

Peter & Gordon - World Without Love (written by Paul McCartney) - released the year I was born - I've no idea how I know it, I just do . . .

Please lock me away
and don't allow the day
here inside, where I hide
in my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world
without love

[fenderbender]

Great varied choice -shows the age differences of everyone
great!!!!!!
Mine would be Kevin Johnson

Rock and roll, I gave you all
The best years of my life
All the dreamy sunny Sundays
All the moonlit summer nights
I was so busy in the backroom
Writing love songs to you
While you were changing your direction
And you never even knew
That I was always just one step behind you

that's me to a T------------

[ODH]

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

There is a Light that Never Goes Out

[Mike_S]

ah yeah... good one. morrisey has some great lyrics.

[taffsdad]

some great lyrics on here...so many come to mind hard to choose just one....but this is mine

As soon as your born they make you feel small

By giving you no time instead of it all

they hurt you at home and hit you at school

Hate you if your clever and despise a fool

till your so fuckin crazy you cant follow their rules

Working class Hero John Lennon......its a bit like crossroads for me I can sing it and change the words to fit the way I feel.....

[Johnny Robbo]

I tried to run a mile today I maybe should have walked,
My head had the ambition but my body was all talk,
And while I'm trying to make some sense of it the laughter takes a hold,
I'm the same age that my father was when I first thought he was old

From the song "Old" by Henry Priestman

"If I could make the world as pure
and strange as what I see
I'd put you in the mirror
I put in front of me
I put in front of me"

...

"It was good what we did yesterday
and I'd do it once again
The fact that you are married
only proves you're my best friend
But it's truly, truly a sin"

Pale Blue Eyes - The Velvet Underground (Lou Reed), 1969

"2. How can I ever stand it,
Just to see them two blue eyes,
Shinin' like some diamonds,
Like some diamonds in the sky."
...
"6. Pretty flowers are made for blooming,
Pretty stars are made to shine,
Pretty girls are made for boy's love,
Little Maggie was made for mine."

Little Maggie by Bob Dylan (arr), Good as been to you, 1992

"Old Soul Song (For The New World Order)" by Bright Eyes


 Gray light, new day leaks through the window
 An old soul song comes on the alarm clock radio
 We walk the forty blocks to the middle
 Of the place we heard that everything would be
 And there were barricades to keep us off the street
 But the crowd kept pushing forward
 Till they swallowed the police
 Ya they went wild

We left before the dust had time to settle
Now all the broken glass swept off the avenue
 And on the way home held your camera like a bible
 Just wishing so bad that it held some kind of truth
 And I stood nervous next to you in the dark room
You dropped the paper in the water
 And it all begins to bloom
 Ya they go wild

And just when I get so lonesome I cant speak
 I see some flowers on the hillside
 Like a wall of new TVs
 Ya they go wild
