The Line You Wish You'd Written

[Brayoski]

Some nights i stay up,cashing in my bad luck.| some nights i call it a draw by fun (some nights) but there are several other lines that i feel were plucked off my mind,n i wish id written them first.

[pwrlftr15]

"You're a runner, but you're chasing yourself - feel the hot breath on your shoulder" (DIO)

[ALECS]

Elbow - The Night Will Always Win

"I tried to clothe your bones with scratchy super 8's, exaggerated stories and old tunes"

[Nine]

"

She turns me on

She makes me real

I have to apologize

For the way I feel"

NIN - Sunspots

[Sweet Marty Music]

Whiskey Lullaby - "She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette."

[Hookright421]

"There's a mirror over there, Have a line and fix your hair" From Troublemaker by Pinky Beecroft.

"I really like this jacket but the sleeves are much too long " from Back At The Funny Farm by Motorhead

Lemmy also wrote my favourite line from an Ozzy song "I spoke to god this morning, and he don't like you" from Miracle Man

ps

" How you doin' Howard, Friend, Next door neighbour?,

O yeah? , Well get your f*ckin jumbo jet, outa my airport!!" Ain't No Fun AC/DC

Just about anything Mark Sandman, from Morphine, wrote.

How can I ask anyone to love me

When all I do is beg to be left alone?

- "Left Alone", Fiona Apple

Unrequited love

To me is nothing but a one-man cult

- "Bad Religion", Frank Ocean

[CuznEddie]

Whoosh reminded me of Leonard Cohen. In Suzanne he wrote,

"And the sun pours down like honey

On our lady of the harbour"

Such lovely imagery!

[Topaz]

Probably ​"Beneath the chandelier of stars and atmosphere / Tangled like the roots on the ground" from This is Really Happening by Taylor Swift.

[tunesforyou]

By Cheryl Wheeler:

 

I must have been Ghandi or Budda

or someone like that

I must have saved lives by the thousands

everywhere I went

I must have brought rest to the restless

and fed the hungry too

I must have been something great

to get to have you.

 

Okay, so more than just a line.....but, still an all-time favorite!

[kevinbayne]

i would suggest "I'm feeling close to you, maybe this ocean view".

[Rudi]

“I gave her my heart, but she wanted my soul†   (Don’t Think Twice Its Alright)

 

Dylan.

 

What I don’t get is,

How in hell’s name did my ex get to meet him?

[Caduceus]

Definitely not the only song line I'd wish I'd written, but possibly the one I wish I had the most:

 

"I would do anything for love, anything you've been dreaming of, but I just won't do that!"  -- Meatloaf, 'I would do anything for love'.

[Kel]

I have a few:

 

"If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me"    Belamy Brothers (title line)

 

"Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose"      Kris Kristofferson, Me & Bobby McGee

 

"Do you wanna touch me there? Where? There, yeah, oh!"     Mike Leander & Gary Glitter Do Ya Wanna Touch Me

 

But the creme de la creme...

 

"I got told by a friend of mine
That you don't want me anymore
Now my friend's got a broken nose
Sure, and I got a broken jaw"                                                   Alan Lancaster & Rick Parfitt (Status Quo) Drifting Away

 

Kel

[Anxious Optimist]

This is a tough one but at the moment it's gotta go to Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains - As Free As the Rent We Don't Pay:

"As the moonlight turn all of us to werewolves and sunrise is a gorgeous bed time the way, the light hits the cheap wine.."

[Guest]

In our possessive coupling so much could not be expressed

So now I am returning to myself these things that you and I suppressed

 

Hejira

Joni Mitchell

[midnighthowler]

Had a one nice stand with my best friends baby sister ................... (if that don't catch your attention and make you listen I don't know what will)

[neoism]

 

The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from being seen

But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine

 

Dylan

[mwtzzz]

The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
With distant gay traces
That used to be there you could see where they'd been washed away
By too many through the day...
Twelve o'clock tales
