Tell me your favourite lyric line(s)...

This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER...

Joe has just worked himself into an imaginary frenzy during the fade-out of his imaginary song...
He begins to feel depressed now.He knows the end is near.

He has realized at last that imaginary guitar notes and imaginary vocals exist only in the mind
of The Imaginer ...and ... ultimately, who gives a **** anyway... Who gives a ****
anyway? So he goes back to his ugly little room and quietly dreams his last
maginary guitar solo...

"Well, I'm a lonesome schoolboy
and I just came into town
Yeah, I'm a lonesome schoolboy
and I just came into town
Well, I heard so much about London
I decided to check it out"

Great blues song and I really don't know what the fuss was all about then!

Sure if you still want to release an album these days, oh well....

As ah wis walkin' doon the road

ah saw a white thing a ghost by god

It looked at me with a big brown eye

Ah took ae ma heels

Ah said goodbye

Joan Armatrading:

Opportunity
Came to my door
When I was down
On my luck
In the shape
Of an old friend
With a plan
Guaranteed

Sweet Melinda
The peasants call her the goddess of gloom
She speaks good English
And she invites you up into her room
And you're so kind
And careful not to go to her too soon
And she takes your voice
And leaves you howling at the moon.

You will know this one 

Nobody has to guess that baby can't be blessed
Till she sees finally that she's like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls

oh yes... of course, played it recently while going through my vinyl collection...

Says James "In my opinion, there's nothing in this world 
Beats a 52 Vincent and a red headed girl. 
Now Nortons and Indians and Greeves won't do, 
Ah, they don't have a soul like a Vincent 52" 
Oh he reached for her hand and he slipped her the keys 
Said "I've got no further use for these. 
I see angels on Ariels in leather and chrome, 
Swooping down from heaven to carry me home" 
And he gave her one last kiss and died 
And he gave her his Vincent to ride.

Richard Thompson's 1952 Vincent Black Lightning (final verse).

I remember a time when i couldn't get this song out of my head!! kept taking the tablets, now i think i have recovered, i think -- except that it has come back again today.

what do i do?!!

Well, here are just 2 of the verses anyhow:

......

You'll say, we've got nothin' in common
No common ground to start from
And we're falling apart
You'll say, the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
Still I know you just don't care

And I said what about Breakfast at Tiffany's?
She said I think I remember the film
And as I recall I think, we both kind o' liked it
And I said well that's, the one thing we've got

Deep Blue Something...hadn't thought of them in a while!

you should all be able to guess which song this verse comes from:

.......

If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
He's that hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say

Indeed - and a gentleman will walk but never run 

"Caressing the marble and stone

Love that was special for one

The waste and the fever and hate

How I wish you were here with me now."

"Come down off the cross we can use the wood"

"You never get over the first time you lose"

Mary Chapin Carpenter Come on come on.

 some kind of man, he can't do anything wrong 
If I see him I'll tell him you're waiting

It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty delta day

I was out choppin' cotton, and my brother was balin' hay...
