I've got a few:
"What you wish for tomorrow you could have today"
"You can blame the gin for the mess you're in"
"There are no straight lines in any human designs"
"Guns blaze, they burn as bright as the sun. Any eye can see that there are many, but in the end it only takes one"

Rainy Night in Soho - The Pogues, this song defines the word beautiful:
I'm not singing for the future
I'm not dreaming of the past
I'm not talking of the fist time
I never think about the last
Now the song is nearly over
We may never find out what it means
Still there's a light I hold before me
You're the measure of my dreams

"Living is easy with eyes closed,
Misunderstanding all you see,
Its getting hard to be someone, but it all works out,
It doesnt matter much to me."
Strawberry Fields Forever. The Beatles.
That song is magic.
Also, someone wrote out the lyrics to This Charming Man on the wall of an underpass near me, and I always find myself stopping to read them. They are really lovely.

Aye, there's something unexplainably great about "Why pamper life's complexity when the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat?" Wouldn't it be more fitting to write the lyrics to There Is A Light That Never Goes Out on the wall of an underpass? "In the darkened underpass I thought 'Oh God my chance has come at last' but then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask" |

I know what you mean Fergal, there is great lyrics, and then there is Morrisseys lyrics, the 2 lines you say then are both phenomenal, and like you said, quite hard to explain why.

I adore "Why pamper life's complexity when the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat" set of lyrics. AMAZING. |

"In the darkened underpass I thought 'Oh God my chance has come at last' but then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask" Possibly, but this is Southampton, so I was more shocked that whoever wrote it had heard of the Smiths at all. The line "life is very long when you're lonely" at the end of The Queen Is Dead is my favourite Smiths lyric. The way it just sort of hangs there and stays in your head once the song is over. It's weird, but it always makes me feel isolated. It's a very personal lyric. |

Which underpass is that under Amy? Where abouts? Around the student areas The Smiths are fairly popular, as is indie music.

No, it's not one in town, it's at the bottom of Bitterne highstreet, between the library and the leisure centre, a good bit away from the studenty bit. I'll make sure to take a picture of it next time I'm there.

I love Spanish Bombs by The Clash but this verse is my favourite from the song:
The hillsides ring with “free the people” -
or can I hear the echo from the days of ’39
with trenches full of poets,
the ragged army, fixing bayonets to fight the other line?

Aye that's a great verse that, great song. I dunno who wrote what in the Clash, I know Strummer wrote most of the lyrics, but its always credited as just Strummer/Jones, but in my opinion Straight to Hell was one of the Clash's finest efforts, one of the few Clash things I properly like after London Calling....STRAIGHT TO HELL:
If you can play on the fiddle
How's about a British jig and reel?
Speaking King's English in quotation
As railhead towns feel the steel mills rust
Water froze in the generation
Clear as winter ice
This is your paradise
