Post a great line from a song, the song's name, and the recording artist

Mister Bluebird's on my shoulder
It's the truth, it's "actch'll"
Everything is "satisfactch'll"

 

[Slow Car Sport Mode]

Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you see, my darling young one?
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I saw a black branch with blood that kept dripping
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleeding
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
I saw ten-thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children

[Chorus]
And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, and it’s a hard
It’s a hard rain’s a-going to fall

I own that album by him. Bob D. I also liked his ex back up players a lot. The guys from Canada who turned into the group known simply as "The Band," If you posted this you must have heard or seen The Last Waltz with special guest Bob and many others.

Once upon a time I was falling in love
Now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart


Bonnie Tyler

Let's drive that old Chrysler to Mexico boy.

Mexican Blackbird
ZZ Top

This is possibly one of my favorite ZZ Top songs, pure ZZ. Couple more good lines.

"Hand me another one of them brews from back there."

"She's hot as a pepper, but smooth as a Mexican brew"

Better stop there.

 

[Slow Car Sport Mode]

We both know, I'm not what, you need.

Whitney Houston - "And I will always love you"

One of the 10 greatest songs/performances ever. And has saxophone.

 

[Duffyjr]

One that has stuck with me since I first heard it back when I was in high school.

Watch out where the huskies go,
And don't you eat that yellow snow.

And don't you eat that yellow snow.

Like I said, one could easily fill 10 pages with great lines from Zappa.

Def Leppard, "It Don't Matter"

It's way past midnight and you travel through the city
You wonder what you should do
Well baby can't you see that you've had enough of me
And I've certainly had enough of you

 

[csandste]

[Verse 1]
Oh, the snot has caked against my pants
It has turned into crystal
There's a bluebird sitting on a branch
I guess I'll take my pistol
I've got it in my hand
Because he's on my land

IIRC Ed Sullivan took offense at this. The great Arthur Lee and Love, "Live and Let Live" Near his deathbed, wearing a chemo dew rag, but rocking out with Baby Lemonade. RIP Arthur. I'm 77 and you woke younguns are destroying this kind of music.

 

[csandste]

Orleans - " Love Takes Time " .

I saw a shooting star go by
It blazed a path across the sky
But the beauty did not last ,no
Some things just happen all too fast

One of my favorite upstate New York bands. Only one I can think of with a Congressman as a member.

 

[KJSmith]

Whitney Houston - "And I will always love you"

"She's hot as a pepper, but smooth as a Mexican brew"

Better stop there.

How about "Waiting for the bus / Jesus just left Chicago?"

 

[Slow Car Sport Mode]

Dolly Parton

They were talking about that sometime around Superbowl but I don't like Dolly Parton performance of anything, I'm aware she wrote the song and its probably the only Whitney song I very much enjoy.

 

[Slow Car Sport Mode]

How about "Waiting for the bus / Jesus just left Chicago?"

Legs.

Spend my days with a woman unkind
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine
Made up my mind, make a new start
Goin' to California with an achin' in my heart
Someone told me there's a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair
Took my chances on a big jet-plane
Never let 'em tell ya that they're aw-ooh-all the same
Hoh, the sea was red and the sky was grey
I wonder how tomorrow could ever follow today-hee
Mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake
The children of the sun begin to awake
Now
Watch out
It seems that the wrath of the gods got a punch on the nose
And it's startin' to flow, I think I might be sinkin'
Throw me a line, if I reach it in time
Meet you up there where the path runs straight and high
Find a queen without a king
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings, la-la-la-la
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born
Standin' on a hill in the mountain of dreams
Tellin' myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems

Going to California, Led Zep
I hear they liked it here...

Jeff--The Dave Rawlings Machine did a good cover of that song, with John Paul Jones.



And speaking of Rawlings Machine, this verse from "Short Haired Woman Blues" finally jumped out at me after several years. (Their song is not the same as the Lightnin' Hopkins song with the same title.)

We came upon a boomer's shack, she broke the windows just because.
And there along the railroad track she laid me down, that's how she was.
With the first rush of the freight train there was rain on the high summer corn.
Oh it's just a game she told me; I said no, I am reborn.
