    You know the night's magic, seems to whisper and hush
    While the soft moonlight, seems to shine in your blush
    Can I just have one more moon dance with you, my love?
    Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?
    One more moon dance
    In the moonlight
    On a magic night. - Van Morrison, Moondance

    She takes her time when it's time to get ready.
    Always has her way.
    Always leaves me waiting by the phone.
    She told me more than once to take it slow,
    and I said OK.
    But lately i've been sleeping all alone.

    Anything by Pete Townshend/The Who. Anything.

    "Come sleep on the beach/
    Keep within my reach/
    I just want to die with you here/
    I'm feeling so high with you here"
    - the Who, "Sea and Sand"

    Quadrophenia is my favorite album of all time.

    That was the other song I wanted to quote but thought that might be too many. That just made my day. :bigsmile: I *love* Quadrophenia.

    And I know in my life I will remember to be thankful for the lost time that can never be regained.. never .. never .. never be regained.

    Favorite lyrics ever?


    Paint yourself a picture
    Of what you wish you looked like
    Maybe then they just might
    Feel an ounce of your pain

    Come into focus
    Step out of the shadows
    It's a losing battle
    There's no need to be ashamed

    'Cause they don't even know you
    All they see is scars
    They don't see the angel
    Living in your heart

    Let them find the real you
    Buried deep within
    Let them know with all you've got
    That you are not your skin
    -Sixx AM

    It really speaks to me, I have a skin condition so the first time I heard this song it really put some things into focus for me. If I have a bad day, I just listen to this song.

    Tonight, my eyes and my arms have been opened You carry me into the light - Into the Light - Gareth Emery feat Mark Frisch

    Don’t waste another moment, It’s waiting for you now, So dive in this new begining, Let the glowing show you how - This Light Between Us - Armin van Buuren

    And the sun has fallen, and the backbeat's telling truths, That you want to hear, and you want to hear again, And the closer that you get, with the force of all the weight, And it's also clear - Here on this Earth - Tiesto feat. Carey Brothers

    You have become, What you have always been, Light flickering around, Peripheral vision, No words we can speak, our paths have been chosen, But all trails that we trek, Should lead us back to here - Love, Comes Again - Tiesto

    Leafs are falling on my window, Turning cold in fire with the wind they go, I lost my way where do I go now, This looks just like the road I came down.
    Take a moment to live, Take a moment to cry, Take a moment to love, And don't ask why - Take a moment - Armin van Buuren.

    I could go on all day. :o)

    **** it all, **** this world, **** everything that you stand for,
    Don't belong, don't exist,
    Don't give a ****, don't ever judge me.
    Picking throught the parts exposed,
    Taking shape, taking shag,
    Over and over and under my skin,
    All this momentum is doing me in!
    **** it all, **** this world, **** everything that you stand for,
    Don't belong, don't exist,
    Don't give a ****, don't ever judge me.
    And don't you ****ing judge me!
    I gave you all my love, livin' in your own hate,
    Drippin' hole man, lost step, no fate,
    Show you nothin'but i ain't holdin' back,
    Every damn word i say is a sneak attack,
    When i get my hands on you,
    Ain't a ****ing thing you can do,
    Get this coz you're never gonna get me,
    I am the very disease you pretend to be!
    **Slipknot**
    AND

    Now this nation that I love is fallin' under attack.
    A mighty sucker-punch came flying in from somewhere in the back.
    Soon as we could see clearly through our big black eye,
    Man, we lit up your world like the fourth of July.
    Hey, Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list,
    And the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist.
    And the eagle will fly and it's gonna be hell,
    When you hear Mother Freedom start ringing her bell.
    And it'll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you.
    Ah, brought to you, courtesy of the red, white and blue.
    Oh, justice will be served and the battle will rage:
    This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage.
    An' you'll be sorry that you messed with the U.S. of A.
    'Cos we'll put a boot in your *kitten*, it's the American way.
    **Toby Keith**

    I took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern,
    To buy me a bottle of beer.
    And I sat me down by a tender young maiden,
    Who's eyes were as dark as her hair.
    And as I was searching from bottle to bottle,
    For something un-foolish to say.
    That silver tongued devil just slipped from the shadows,
    And smilingly stole her away.

    I said: "Hey, little girl, don't you know he's the devil.
    "He's everything that I ain't.
    "Hiding intentions of evil,
    "Under the smile of a saint.
    "All he's good for is getting in trouble,
    "And shiftin' his share of the blame.
    "And some people swear he's my double:
    "And some even say we're the same.
    "But the silver-tongued devil's got nothing to lose,
    "I'll only live 'til I die.
    "We take our own chances and pay our own dues,
    "The silver tongued devil and I."

    Like all the fair maidens who've laid down beside him,
    She knew in her heart that he'd lied.
    Nothin' that I could have said could have saved her,
    No matter how hard that she tried.
    'Cos she'll offer her charms to the darkness and danger,
    Of somethin' that she's never known.
    And open her arms at the smile of a stranger,
    Who'll love her and leave her alone.

    And you know, he's the devil.
    He's everything that I ain't.
    Hiding intentions of evil,
    Under the smile of a saint.
    All he's good for is getting in trouble,
    And shiftin' his share of the blame.
    And some people swear he's my double:
    And some even say we're the same.
    But the silver-tongued devil's got nothing to lose,
    I'll only live 'til I die.
    We take our own chances and pay our own dues,
    Ah ha ha ha.

    The silver tongued devil and I.

    The world's a roller coaster, and I am not strapped in...
    -- 'Wish You Were Here' - Incubus

    YES!!! I also love the line "I lean against the wind, pretend that I am weightless, and in this moment I am happy." That one is my FAVORITE.

    I have far too many that are my favorites, but this was the first one that came to mind.

    It's impossible for me to pick just one as my favorite, but I have "Take these broken wings and learn to fly" and "Originality's not a curse" in two of my tattoos :)

    'We're just two lost souls
    Swimming in a fish bowl
    Year after year
    Running over the same ol ground
    What have we found?
    The same old fears. Wish you were here'
    ~Pink Floyd
