One of my favourite lyrics has to be from Shed Seven's 'Step Inside Your Love' from the 'Truth Be Told' album, it goes 'you think that you're in love, but you'll get better soon'. That's just sheer class that is, I love it!

[woody]

i love the lyrics in Bright Eyes' 'First Day Of My Life', most of yous probably havent heard it so here's the lyrics

Yes, I do, so no one else needs to correct me - I'll amend it in my post too!

Thanks

[sarah]

I also like Whitesnake's 'Love Is Blind', and Bon Jovi's 'I'll Be There For You'. It's endless when you start thinking about it.

...not the same as The Rembrandts' 'I'll Be There For You' I suppose...(the 'Friends' theme)

[Gayle]

Oh yes, one I forgot - add The Rembrandts on to my list!

[sarah]

Oh no, Bon Jovi's is very different. How's this, 'I guess this time you're really leaving, I heard your suitcase say goodbye'. Definatley not the same song.

[woody]

aerosmith's 'dream on' is a beute

[woody]

'buck rogers' by feeder is a brilliant song, its been the biggest student anthem of the past few years without a doubt; the lyrics dont mean a thing but you jus can't help bouncing around to this song, which is why some people love to hate it!

[cashman]

to me that is one of the most difficult questions to answer,woody your choice is brilliant for me,but as i'm a lot older i go back much further like wynonie, probably twilight time- the platters though i occasionally change my mind it was sea cruise-frankie ford a while ago- good thread.

this poll might not work out in the end but at least it gets people talking and giving their opinions, cos the good thing about this question is that everyone will have one definitive song in mind...then keep coming back because theyve remembered another one!!

Sweet choice Cashman,

"Heavenly shades of night are falling, it?s twilight time
Out of the mist your voice is calling, it?s twilight time
When purple-colored curtains mark the end of day
I?ll hear you, my dear, at twilight time

Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done
Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun
I count the moments darling till you?re here with me
Together at last at twilight time

Here, in the afterglow of day, we keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the same and sweet old way I fall in love again as I did then.....

But what about "The Great Pretender" or the timeless "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes?" There's just for to many to chose from....endless classics

[woody]

listening to The Buzzcocks' 'Ever Fallen In Love?', they were a realy reat band, they had a brilliant hit-making formula of putting a concious lyric together with a hard rocking tune...its the righteous brothers with guitars!!!
pete shelley has a great voice

[Wynonie Harris]

I, too, salute your choices, Mr C, especially Sea Cruise. Just reminded me of another of my contenders - Rockin' Pneumonia And The Boogie Woogie Flu by Huey Piano Smith & The Clowns.
