music quotes

"Gonna take off my pants.

And your momma can't stop me-

Your preacher can't stop me-

NO ONE CAN STOP ME!!


Will you take off my pants??"


--- Randy Newman

Wish I was down on some blue bayou,

With a bamboo cane stuck in the sand.

But the road I'm on, don't seem to go there,

So I just dream, keep on bein' the way I am.

Wish I enjoyed what makes my living,

Did what I do with a willin' hand.

Some would run, ah, but that ain't like me.

So I just dream and keep on bein' the way I am.


Merle Haggard - The Way I Am

Machine Gun,

tearing my body all apart.

Machine gun, yeah,

tearing my body all apart.


Evil man make me kill you.

Evil man make you kill me.

Evil man make me kill you.

Even though we're only families apart.


Machine Gun,

Jimi Hendrix

We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee;

We don't take no trips on LSD

We don't burn no draft cards down on Main Street;

We like livin' right, and bein' free.


I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,

A place where even squares can have a ball

We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,

And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all


We don't make a party out of lovin';

We like holdin' hands and pitchin' woo;

We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy,

Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.


And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,

A place where even squares can have a ball.

We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,

And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all.


--Merle Haggard

I don't smoke marijuana, 'less I got some

I've never rolled a joint...in my sleep

I've never smoked a doobie... down at the courthouse

And I hardly ever make love, to cows or sheep


I'm just an old hippie from Mississippi

A place with red-neck cops in the Klu Klux Klan

Where gonorrhea is a family tradition

And for most of us third grade was a five year plan


Now we can make a party out of damn near nothin'

Whisky, wine, or beer and airplane glue

I hate it when there ain't nothin' left in the baggie

I guess this tiny roach is gonna have to do


Now I ain't growin' marijuana in my garden

Them big weeds just sprung up between the rows of corn

But don't go sprayin' my weeds with Round-Up

I'll make you regret the day that you were born


I'm just an old hippie from Mississippi

A place with red-neck cops in the Klu Klux Klan

And the definition of relative humidity

Is the sweat dripping off-a-you onto your cousin Pam


-- Red Neck Mother

I keep thinkin' 'bout that night in Memphis,

Lord, I thought I was in Heaven.

I keep thinkin' 'bout that night in Memphis,

I thought I was in Heaven.

But I was stumblin' thru the parking lot

of an invisible 7 Eleven. (Spoken: What was I doin out there?)


ZZ Top from 'My Head's in Mississippi'


--Jerome

"We just smiled and waved sittin' ther on that sack o' seeds"


Wildwood Weed

Jim Stafford


"Don't let the screen door hit you, on your way out"


Smoke From A Distant Fire

Sanford-Townsend Band

"When my fist clenches, crack it open

Before I use it and lose my cool

When I smile, tell me some bad news

Before I laugh and act like a fool


If I swallow anything evil

Put your finger down my throat

If I shiver, please give me a blanket

Keep me warm, let me wear your coat"


The Who - Behind Blue Eyes

Quote:
Oh man, could fill pages with Pete's stuff. I really like his lyrics.

Bus stop rat bag, ha ha charade you are

You f**ked up old hag, ha ha charade you are.....

Hey you Whitehouse, ha ha charade you are....Pink Floydigs(Threee different ones) from Animals.


Goodbye blue sky, Vera, Is there anybody out there, etc. Almost every song has a catchy tune that is easily remembered on Pink Floyd the wall


Wish you were here:..."can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail"...


U2: Drowning Man:

Take my hand

You know I'll be there

If you can I'll cross

The sky for your love.

For I have promised for

To be with you tonight

And for the time that will come...


Cold Play:


Yellow: "Look at the stars; look how they shine for you

And everything you do

Yeah, they were all yellow"...


Trouble:

"Oh no, I see

The spider web is tangled up with me

And I lost my head

And thought of all the stupid things I'd said"...


I tend to like melancholy lyrics..can you tell?

Quote:
Townshend complained that the show they put on often overshadowed his songs.



"Take me internally,

Forever yours, nocturnal me."

Echo and the Bunnymen


"In the breathless hush of four A.M.

In the dark sits a sad cliche

Cloaked in the navy blue of slowly fading stars

Tell me how this came to be

Sleeplessness talk to me

She'd say over and over again"

Jellyfish
