Genesis "The knife":
"Tell me my life is about to begin Tell me that I am a hero, Promise me all of your violent dreams Light up your body with anger." |
Re: The most important sentences in prog rock lyrics
Hmmmm....nice to see this thread again.
I've been listening to some CDs I haven't played in a while and the lines that have stuck in my mind for a while now are: "There's a word and the word is love and it's right for me. It's right for me and the word is love" - Yes, Time and a word. You can't keep an old hippy down....:D |
Re: The most important sentences in prog rock lyrics
Haven't read all the entries in this interesting thread, so perhaps this has been entered already:
From King Crimson's Islands "Beneath the wind-turned wave Infinite peace... Islands join hands 'neathe heaven's sea". Just love that image. |

Seeing as how what might seem important to me might not seem important to you and vice versa, here's mine...
"My zero to your power of ten equals nothing at all". Jethro Tull. (sorry if this was in a previous thread,no time to go through them all) |
Re: The most important sentences in prog rock lyrics
Seems I missed this thread first time around, and this may have already been posted, but you gotta consider Tull:
"So you ride yourselves over the fields and you make all your animal deals and your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick." |
Re: The most important sentences in prog rock lyrics
I'm always inspired by this searing irony in Yes' Relayer:
Listen your friends have been broken They tell us of your poison Now we know Kill them give them as they give us Slay them burn their children's laughter On to Hell |

Re: The most important sentences in prog rock lyrics
One of my favorite Andersonisms has always been this one.
Get the idea cross around the track Underneath the flank of a thoroughbred racing chaser Getting the feel as a river flows Would you like to go n' shoot the mountain masses And here you stand no taller than the grass sees And should you really chase so hard The truth of sport plays rings around you Going for the one Going for the one Even for those who speak Jonish, I think this one can be a difficult decipher. :headscrat |

Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid,
Wipes his gun-he's forgotten what he did, And the lamb lies down on Broadway. |

Re: The most important sentences in prog rock lyrics
It can't be a list unless you put in some old Marillion:rulez: :)
And so as I patrol in the valley of the shadow of the Tricolour I must fear evil For I am but mortal and mortals can only die Asking questions, pleading answers from the nameless faceless watchers That parade the carpeted corridors of Whitehall Who orders desecration, mutilation, verbal masturbation in the guarded bureaucratic wombs Minister, Minister care for your children Order them not into damnation To eliminate those who would trespass against you For whose is the kingdom, the power, the glory for ever and ever Amen Amen Amen Amen "Halt who goes there!" - " Death!!" "Approach ... friend" |

How about Peter Gabriel... Kiss that frog, and you will Get your prince |
Re: The most important sentences in prog rock lyrics
Added another one before work :) Sort of rings true this day and age :(
"Death defying, mutilated armies scatter the earth, Crawling out of dirty holes, their morals, their morals disappear." Yes-Yours Is No Disgrace |
