"Enough to hold you to the brightest of lights, to place you dangerously close to that sun. Enough to acknowledge the flaws you can't ignore, and recognize the cause of what's done is done. More than enough to put my name behind my ideals, and neglect my logic twice daily. Enough to keep me looking for my Lucy in the sky with gems, when I remember how you used to call me baby"
But, my all time favorite, although depressing, is as elegant and on-point as any song lyrics written:
"They'll hurt you at home and they'll hit you at school
they hate you if your clever and they despise a fool,
until you're so f***ing crazy you can't follow the rules.
A working class hero is something to be...
when they've tortured and scared you for 20 odd years,
then they expect you to pick a career,
when you can't even function your so full of fear...
keep you doped with religion, and sex and TV,
and you think you're so clever and classless and free,
but you're still f***ing peasants as far as I can see...
there's room at the top, they are telling you still,
but first you must learn how to smile while you kill,
if you want to be like the folks on the hill..."
That's a brilliant line..definitely one of my favorites. :thumbs_upQuote:

That's a rough translation of the chorus of an Arabic song by Majida el Roumi entitled "Koul Chi Am Yekhlass," or, "Everything is ending."
Heaven Forbids You End up alone
Dont know why
Hold on tight
Wait for tommorow
Itll be Allright

The piano has been drinking
my necktie is asleep
and the combo went back to New York
the jukebox has to take a leak
and the carpet needs a haircut
and the spotlight looks like a prison break
cause the telephone's out of cigarettes
and the balcony's on the make
and the piano has been drinking
the piano has been drinking...
Oh I love Majeda;) all her songs are great with beautiful lyrics ,especially the ones with Nizar Qabbani.Quote:

Hello, Is it me you're looking for.
I can see it in your eyes,
I can see it in your smile,
You're all I have ever wanted,
And my arms are open wide.
But you know just what to see,
And you know just what to do,
And I want to tell you so much:
"I LOVE YOU"
I think you will find that it is Lionel Richie.Quote:

Just keep on moving...
Everybody asks your name,
They say we're all the same and it's "nice one,"
"geezer"
But that's as far as the conversation went.
I lost my friends, I dance alone,
It's six o'clock, I wanna go home.
But it's "no way," "not today,"
Makes you wonder what it meant.
And this hollow feeling grows and grows and grows and grows,
And you want to phone your mother and say,
"Mother, I can never come home again,
Cos I seem to have left an important part of my brain somewhere,
Somewhere in a field in Hampshire."
Alright.
Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you.
