Re: Your Favourite Lyrics

Clip from a song that Dino Vallentti wrote and was recorded by Jefferson Airplane with no success , then made a hit by Jesse Collin Young's band in '68
called " Get Together "
  " Some may come and some may go.......
   We will surely pass......
   When the one that left us here.........
   Returns for us , at last....."

" Just reading the lyrics , it's hard to hear the song , but if the words tug at the heartstrings......it's enough for now........... "

From Dire Straight's Industrial Disease

"Two men say they're Jesus.  One of them must be wrong."

Also, "The watch dog has rabies, the foreman has fleas.  Everyone knows that it's Industrial Disease." 

It's a great song, and just about everyone who was living and understood what having a job meant (or at least a vague notion) at the time it came out had a bad case of Industrial Disease.

Great line Alexpress!  The next line fits it perfectly, and a lot of us have been there, "I drive it forward, but you push me back"

Here's one I heard on the radio this morning from Pickup Man, sorry I don't know the artist.

"You can set fire to my truck and roll it down a hill,
and I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe deVille."

Gosh, there's a lot of good lyrics out there.  Lots of really dopey ones too, but so many good ones.
