“It’s a girl, my Lord,

In a flat bed Ford,

Slowing down to take a look at ME!”

Take it easy! :sunglasses:

" Love is like oxygen,
You get too much, you get too high,
Not enough and you’re gonna die,
Love gets you high"

I love Red Barchetta by Rush, about a chap in a future where cars are outlawed, taking a vintage sports car for an illegal spin. This bit has such an economy of words, but sums up open top car driving perfectly!

Wind
In my hair
Shifting and drifting
Mechanical music
Adrenaline surge…

Well-weathered leather
Hot metal and oil
The scented country air
Sunlight on chrome
The blur of the landscape
Every nerve aware

My immortal - Evanescence

These wounds won’t seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There’s just too much that time cannot erase

I mention Anagram by Rush earlier, but thought the whole lyric was worth a share, not true anagrams, but the lyrics make a kind of sense!

There’s a snake coming out of the darkness
Parade from paradise
End the need for Eden
Chase the dreams of merchandise

There is tic-toc in atomic
Leaders make a deal
The cosmic is largely comic
A con they couldn’t conceal

There is no safe seat at the feast
Take your best stab at the beast
The night is turning thin
The saint is turning to sin

Raise the art to resistance
Danger dare to be grand
Pride reduced to humble pie
Diamonds down to sand

Take heart from earth and weather
The brightness of new birth
Take heart from the harvest
Shave the harvest from the earth

There is no safe seat at the feast
Take your best stab at the beast
The night is turning thin
The saint is turning to sin

Reasoning is partly insane
Image just an eyeless game
The night is turning thin
The saint is turning to sin

Miracles will have their claimers
More will bow to Rome
He and she are in the house
But there’s only me at home

Rose is a rose of splendor
Posed to respond in the end
Lonely things like nights, I find
End finer with a friend

I hear in the rate of her heart
A tear in the heat of the art
The night is turning thin
The saint is turning to sin

There is no safe seat at the feast
Take your best stab at the beast
The night turns thin
The saint turns to sin

The lyrics to SQUEEZE “Up The Junction” are damn amazing…how they say it all in those few minutes really sums up how that scenario really was at the time.

Always a heat-getter when I sing that to the wife :crazy_face: :woozy_face:

"You got the peaches, I got the cream
Sweet to taste, saccharine
'Cause I’m hot (hot), say what, sticky sweet
From my head (head), my head, to my feet

Do you take sugar? One lump or two?"

“What are you willing to do?
Oh, tell me what you’re willing to do?
Kiss it, kiss it better, baby
What are you willing to do?
Oh, tell me what you’re willing to do?
Kiss it, kiss it better, baby”

Rihanna. Always puts me in the mood…:innocent:

Parodies:

How does it feel
scr*wing around, round, round?
and how does it feel
doing it upside down?
cos nine months from now
there will be new sensations
new generations
how does it feel?
Whoa!
It amused us way back when

Another Rush song-Chain Lightning, i think the lyrics are apt in these trying times…

Energy is contagious
Enthusiasm spreads
Tides respond to lunar gravitation
Everything turns in synchronous relation
Laughter is infectious
Excitement goes to my head
Winds are stirred by planets in rotation
Sparks ignite and spread new information
Respond, vibrate, feed back, resonate
Sun dogs fire on the horizon
Meteor rain stars across the night
This moment may be brief
But it can be so bright
Hope is epidemic
Optimism spreads
Bitterness breeds irritation
Ignorance breeds imitation
Sun dogs fire on the horizon
Meteor rain stars across the night
This moment may be brief
But it can be so bright
Reflected in another source of light
When the moment dies
The spark still flies
Reflected in another pair of eyes
Dreams are sometimes catching
Desire goes to my head
Love responds to your invitation
Love responds to imagination
Respond, vibrate, feed back, resonate

Those lyrics make me laugh for various reasons! :slight_smile:

Dying to live by Jonny Lang

You know some people say that values are subjective
But they’re just speaking words, That someone else has said
And so they live and fight and kill with no objective
Sometimes it’s hard to tell the living from the dead

Why am I fighting to live, if I’m just living to fight?
Why am I trying to see, when there ain’t nothing in sight?
Why am I trying to give, when no one gives me a try?
Why am I dying to live, If I’m just living to die?

Mmmm…
You know I used to weave my words into confusion
And so I hope you’ll understand me, when I’m trough
You know I used to live my life as an illusion
But reality will make my dream come true

So I’ll keep fighting to live, Till there’s no reason to fight
And I’ll keep trying to see, Until the end is in sight
You know I’m trying to give, so come on give me a try
You know I’m dying to live until I’m ready to die…

Creature by jelly roll

I broke a promise to myself again
I don’t know why I am so vulnerable
They try to help but I won’t let them in
I guess rock bottom’s where I’m comfortable
Both my feet planted when most people would’ve panicked
I embraced the storm, I found beauty in what was damaged
I’m not afraid of the Boogieman
Instead I look at him like he’s a friend
There’s not a monster out there in the world
That’s scarier than the one that’s within

"Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun"

Time - Pink Floyd
