Title: The Devil's lyric's
Post by Donnie on 05/29/16 at 10:44:01

What is your favorite song lyric?
Is there a phrase or a turn of word that you really like?
I'll start with "It's getting dark, too dark to see" by Bob Dylan from "Knocking on Heaven's Door".
There are many, many that come to mind.

So many favorites! I tend to think of the WHOLE lyric rather than a phrase or line.

I love the lyrics to Joni Mitchell's "Silken Veils of Ardor" on "Don Juan's Reckless Daughter." Dylan's vocals to "Simple Twist of Fate." Jimi Hendrix's "Axis Bold as Love."

And some old stuff. I grew up on Gershwin as he's my Dad's big favorite and I love the lyrics to "I've Got a Crush on You" and "Someone to Watch over Me." And I love the lyrics to "Come Rain or Shine." That's how I love.

Two of my fav songs. Love the complete songs but a couple of my fav lines are Pink Floyds The Gunner's Dream "and the silver in her hair shines in the cold november air" and J. Tillmans Chateau Lobby #4 "I wanna take you in the kitchen lift up that wedding dress someone was probably murdered in"

This first thing that popped into my mind when I saw "Devil's Lyrics" was the Bottletones, "My mamma used to beat the devil out of me, but I always let him right back in". Off the Adult Time album.

The one that always sticks with me is from Steely Dan

The kid will live and learn
While he watches his bridges burn
From the point of no return.

If it just wasn't so true.

Now, when the day goes to sleep
And the full moon looks
The night is so black that the darkness cooks
