Lyric Quote Conversation

[Bobby Bear]

A sister thread to Matt's Movie Quote Conversation favourite, born of my insecurities at glancing through it. Same basic concept: I'll start with some lyrics from a song; the next person pops down the first lyrics that come to mind (as long as they're from a different one.) And so on. Line, couplet, or stanza, rhyming or not: it's up to you.

Right...

"I could be someone else if you'd rather/
Trying to win you over like a new stepfather..."

[Ingrid]

This bottle of Steven's awakens ancient feelings
Like father, step-father, the son is drowning in the flood

[Bobby Bear]

"Underwater I wrote drowning/
I use' to be such a good, good swimmer."

[Timothy225]

I had a dream of the open water
I was swimming away out to sea
So deep I could never touch bottom
What a fool I used to be

[V]

I wonder if my rope's still hanging from the tree
By the standing pool where you drank me
And filled me full of thirsty love
And the memory of water?
I wonder if a king still fishes there
His back towards the burned-out air
His laughing catches singing loud
The memory of water

Your taste is blood and ecstasy
But I must drink you all alone
You're freckled like a speckled egg
A dove, but this bird has flown
O stay with me sweet memory
O stay with me

I wonder if my rope's still hanging from the tree
By the standing pool where you drank me
As pain flows through me like champagne
Of the memory of water

[Timothy225]

When the waters rose in the darkness
In the wake of the endless flood
It flowed into our memory
It flowed into our blood

When something broke the surface
Just to see the starry dome
We still feel that relation
When the water takes us home
In the flying spray of the ocean
The water takes you home

[Bobby Bear]

"I'm leavin' my place in L.A./
I'm gonna live in my car."

[Timothy225]

Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live
In cars

[I_Cassini]

Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you

Beep beep'm beep beep yeah

[Timothy225]

I strip away the old debris that hides a shining car
A brilliant red Barchetta from a better vanished time
Ooh, fired up the willing engine, responding with a roar
Tires spitting gravel, I commit my weekly crime

Wind in my hair
Shifting and drifting
Mechanical music
Adrenaline surge

Well-weathered leather, hot metal and oil
The scented country air
Sunlight on chrome, the blur of the landscape
Every nerve aware!

[Bobby Bear]

"In your dreams, you've seen it all/
through a window so far off/
remembering watching while you're lightning blue eyes reflected sunrise."

[Ben Thomas]

Could there be eyes like yours?
Could there be lips like yours?
Could there be smiles like yours?
Honest and truly?

You
Stepped out of a cloud
I wanna take you away
Away from the crowd

And have you all to myself
Alone and apart
Out of a dream
Safe into my heart.

[Timothy225]

You walk in clouds of glitter and the sun reflects your eyes
And every time the wind blows, I can smell you in the sky
Your kisses are as wicked as an F-16
And you fuck like a volcano, and you're everything to me

'Cause you're a human supernova
A solar superman
You're an angel with wings afire
A flying, giant friction blast
You're a giant, flying friction blast

[I_Cassini]

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream

[Timothy225]

While I was sleepin'
beautiful things
I was seeing
comin' right here into my dreams
Bulldozin'
like a daylight dream into the night
pushin' right here into my life
Bulldozin'
all round my mind
right on through to my dreams
Bulldozin'
like a daylight dream in the night
pushin' right here outta my head
