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

Nice to see the Zevon references. I got to meet him once and I told him I was friends with one of his touring guitar players from the 80’s, John Wood. he said “Everyone knows John Wood”. That was it, except later in the evening, a lesson on why peeled carrots are bad.

I surprised I didn’t see this one yet.
”is there gas in the car? Yes, there’s gas in the car”
Kid Charlemagne
Steely Dan
 
Rush:
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice. Freewill
Though we know that time has wings, we're the ones who have to fly. Everyday Glory
It's that fool on television, getting paid to play the fool. Big Money

Stop lookin' out, start lookin' in
Be your own best friend. Mine, All Mine, Van Halen
 
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

 
"Can't help about the shape I'm in
Can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
Don't ask me what I think of you
Might not give the answer that you want me to

Now when I talk to God I knew he'd understand
He said stick by me and I'll be your guidin' hand
Don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well, well, well, well"

Oh Well
Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac

Another version .

 
Steely Dan - " Everything You Did " .

Traces are everywhere
In our happy home
Now you better tell me everything you did baby
I jumped out of my easy chair
It was not my own

Now I want to hear about everything you did baby

 
"I don't worry about nothing, no, because worrying's a waste of my time"

Mr Brownstone by Guns 'n Roses
I try to live by those words, the philosopher Axl Rose lol 😁



"Life down there is just a strange illusion"

Hallowed be thy Name by Iron Maiden
Maybe the greatest heavy metal song of all.

"A painter on the shore
Imagined all the world
Within a snowflake on his palm
Unframed by poetry
A canvas of awe
Planet Earth falling back into the stars"

Nightwish - Storytime
 
All you want is a whole lot of money
Everything else is just jive and honey.

Rick Springfield a.k.a. Doctor Noah - " I've done everything for you you've done nothing for me"
 
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
