Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You?

"Oh, I've seen the boredom and I've been on top,

but mostly I've lived in between,

and where do you go when you get to the end of your dream?"

Dan Fogelberg

Elvis Costello, "This Years Girl"

See her picture in a thousand places
’Cause she’s this year’s girl
You think you all own little pieces
Of this year’s girl
Forget your fancy manners
Forget your English grammar
’Cause you don’t really give a damn about this year’s girl

Still, you’re hoping that she’s well spoken
’Cause she’s this year’s girl
You want her broken with her mouth wide open
’Cause she’s this year’s girl
Never knowing it’s a real attraction
All these promises of satisfaction
While she’s being bored to distraction
Being this year’s girl

Time’s running out
She’s not happy with the cost
There’d be no doubt
Only she’s forgotten much more than she’s lost

A bright spark might corner the market
In this year’s girl
You see yourself rolling on the carpet
With this year’s girl
Those disco synthesizers
Those daily tranquilizers
Those body building prizes
Those bedroom alibis
All this, but no surprises for this year’s girl
All this, but no surprises for this year’s girl
All this, but no surprises for this year’s girl

1978 at its very finest!

You should have quoted from the Nilsson song that was not played on the radio when it was released:

"You're breaking my heart 

You'r tearing it apart

So FU."

Joni Mitchell - Woman of Heart and Mind

You know the times you impress me most

Are the times when you don't try

When you don't even try...

Pink Floyd - Time

Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
And 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
