The most important sentences in prog rock lyrics

[progdirjim(Admin)]

"Tell me what kind of heaven do you think awaits
With your ass too fat to fit through the pearly gates"

Todd Rundgren, "Mammon" from Liars...

[Yesspaz]

"And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around."

[podakayne]

"and everything under the sun is in tune, but the sun is eclisped by the moon"

that says tons

"There's always been Ethel.
Jacob wake up you've got to tidy your room now.....
And then Mr Lewis.
Isn't it time that he was out on his own?
Over the garden wall.
Two little love birds Coo coo to you.
Keep those mowing blades sharp.........."

or:

"And Harold Demure, who's still not quite sure, fires acorns from out of his sling.
Here comes the cavalry........"

Very of the time...........excellent lyric writing.

[Wojtek]

This is so great in it's simplicity:

i have my fears
but they do not have me
(P. Gabriel)

[Yesspaz]

My favorite lines from that song are "And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes I'll see you on the dark side of the moon," and "The paper holds their (the lunatics) folded faces to the floor, and everyday the paperboy brings more."

P.S. I LOVE your new avatar! Now that's the Poda I know and love.

"The paper holds their folded faces to the floor and every day the paper boy brings more."

One of the better political/anti-governemt lyrics of Roger Waters.

Just to hijack this thread back to the topic of "sentences", there are a number of great sentences in the lyrics of Pink Floyd. One of my faves from Animals ahs always been, "You radiate cold shafts of broken glass". Oh man, I'd hate to have a run in with that character!

I think I already quoted from that song "And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around." I also like from that album "Charade you are."

[Rick and Roll]

From Father OSA (Styx)..

"Your life's a ship that's never been to sea"...

keithie you did it once again:

from keithie master sage
"There's always been Ethel.
Jacob wake up you've got to tidy your room now.....
And then Mr Lewis.
Isn't it time that he was out on his own?
Over the garden wall.
Two little love birds Coo coo to you.
Keep those mowing blades sharp.........."

i've continually said "i know what i like and i like what i know" some folk get it, since it played on FM radio.

and since we mentioned floyd i love this one from Animals:

"you better watch out!...there may be dogs about!!!!"
and
"you better stay home and do as you're told...get outta the road if you want to grow old"

"Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise"

love the sheep & dogs

I frankly think, that the title of the thread should have been:

We will end up here with the lyrics of all tunes on AM....

Important is an odd word. Very nebulous.

If I had to pick one lyric, it would be the Who. "Every idea in my head, someone else has said".

[podakayne]

from genesis:

"you'd better watch out, you better watch out!"

and Yspaz thanks for the learning to fly entry...i also say that one

from the ever-present Yesspaz
"Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earthbound misfit, I."
-Pink Floyd

has anyone mentioned the obvious?
"i repeat myself when i'm in distress, i repeat myself when i'm in distress, i repeat myself when i'm in distress"

and yes i use these at work...all the time really!

Don't think anyone has mentioned some of the wonderful Moody Blues quotes.

"But I'm never going to lose your precious gift. It will always be that way.
And I know I'm going to find my own peace of mind someday........" New Horizons, Seventh Sojourn.

"Blasting, bursting, billowing forth with the power of 10 billion butterfly sneezes" Higher and Higher, To our Childrens..........

"So fly little bird, up into the clear blue sky.
And carry the word. Love's the only reason why" Land of Make Believe, Seventh Sojourn.

"Bluebird flying high, tell me what you see.
If you could talk to me, what news would you bring?
Of Voices in the sky......." Voices in the sky, In search of the lost chord.

And of Course:

"And I love you. Yes I love you. Oh! how I love you........" Nights in White Satin, Days of Future Past.

"It's Only Knock and Knowall..But I like It"..Gabriel/Genesis..last line from The Lamb

"If you never saw it coming
Hooked you up with Coca-Cola coming
Nice and slippery."

Colour the thoughts that release within you.....

And the door was open wide,
and inside was a diamond chair,
where I sat when I was young,
I wrote down the words....."
