I note that is your only post on this thread

so .... In conclusion
IMO You can maybe criticise when you take the trouble to post either

a) some written lyrics, or
b) a youtube

but until then, maybe you shouldn't play critic - unless of course you are pushing for a job on the judge's panel of Australian Idol :rolleyes:

Maybe so. But I started this thread. So can I criticise please? I happen to agree with brty. What will be next. References to message boards, facebook cr@p, dating forums etc.?? More words please. Or as the Fall would say : "Hey Mr pharmacist. Words cannot express. Feeling I suggest"
 
hey rub
maybe you can explain
is there a difference between a lyric and a songline?

PS (general comment) if anyone wants to know the lyrics of a particular song (eg SCAR), then just go to google, type in "Scar lyrics" and presto :2twocents

I also am a new contributor to this thread but for some time I been following it and have found the postings to be clever, interesting and amusing when they keep to the thread, and I congratulate you for starting this popular thread. I also agree with brty and I hope the rebuff from 2020hindsight doesn't discourage him from further postings. I happen to think that visitors to the thread have as much right to an opinion as somebody who has made thousands of postings at the rate of nearly 10 a day. After all quantity of input doesn't necessarily make you any smarter.
Brty is right. The "you tubers" are not sticking to the thread. They are loading it with junk music with unintelligible lyrics. The original question was "What are your favorite lyrics or songlines?" It should be adhered to. Those who disagree could start a new thead e.g. "YouTube Junk Music"

How would you like it then in Braille or new set of earplugs ..............!!!!???:eek:




Heres a tune that is really top blues type but words/lyrics are like well .....unlike the tune suggests--and the youtube isnt corresponding or interpretating what the tune is leading or suggesting either...you get that?
Each to their own :mad:

natashia, seems we have to start with a :topic sign if we only post "Youtube Junk Music" - (although I'm not sure why people don;t just skip the youtubes if they don't like 'em) ;).

Not sure if you're allowed to post the youtube as well as the lyrics. :eek:

ok here are some lyrics without the youtube accompaniment :-

"You amaze me!
Where did you come from?
You do things
Champagne could never do.
Crystal winters,
Crimson summers...
Other pleasures --
I would trade them all
For you."

Aspects Of Love - Other Pleasures - lyrics by Tim Rice

Arbitrary. I can tell you what either are not though in my definition and intent: youtube.
 
Couple of Aussies doing really, really well.

This is their latest, one of my faves at the moment.





These two keep producing great quality pop songs. This, though, is my favourite of theirs from a few years ago:




Always been impossible for me to separate lyrics from the music, sorry. One without the other doesn't do it for me; so here are the complete songs.
 
And not wanting to be too parochial, still a favourite of mine from a few years back. The important lyrics are in the title to the song.




Loved the album this song was from. The studio version of this song is great, and I love this live version too. What a voice, what a piano player (music very inspired by Enya), moving lyrics. Some may want to turn down the speakers at the 2.53 mark, or if you are like me, turn them up:
 
too hard to decide between

HOw to make Gravy, by Paul Kelly
and

Throw your arms around me....Hunters and Collectors!

Ahhh....shed your skin and let's get started!
