"The bright, blessed day and the dark, sacred night" (sometimes heard as the deep, sacred night).
from What a Wonderful World. Probably my favourite lyric from a popular song. Jeff |

I always liked this Oscar wildism from the Smiths - The Queen is Dead:
I broke into the palace with a sponge and a rusty spanner, She said "I know you and you cannot sing" I said "You should hear me play piano!" Malc |

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or a half page of scribbled lines (Pink Floyd, "Time"). |

My grip is surely slipping
I think I've lost my hold Yes I think I've lost my hold I cannot get insurance any more They don't take credit, only gold Is that a dagger or a crucifix I see You hold so tightly in your hand And all the while the distance grows between you and me I do not understand Peter Gabriel "Blood of Eden" |

"Some are born to move the world
To live their fantasies But most of us just dream about The things we'd like to be Sadder still to watch it die Than never to have known it For you, the blind who once could see The bell tolls for thee..." RUSH - "Losing It" |

"End of the day, factory whistle cries,
men walk through these gates with death in their eyes, and you just better believe boys.... somebody's gonna get hurt tonight, it's the work...the working...just the working life!" Bruce Springsteen - Factory (from 'Darkness on the edge of town') Last edited by Malc 44 : 23 May 2003 at 12:34 AM. |

Qui ti aspetterò
E ruberò i baci al tempo Sogno Un rumore il vento che mi sveglia E sel già qua This is where I will wait for you Stealing imaginary kisses as time goes by Dream A noise, the wind awakes me And you're already here. Sogno Sung by Andrea Bocelli |

Malc 44's lyrics from Sting reminds me of my fave Sting lyrics . . .
The very thought of you makes My heart sing Like an April breeze On the wings of spring And you appear in all your splendour My one and only love from "My One and Only Love" by Sting from the album Sting At The Movies which was used in the soundtrack of Leaving Las Vegas |

And in the end the love you take
Is equal to the love you make. The Beatles ("The End", Abbey Road, 1969). |
