More Song Lyrics

I like songs that evoke a feeling of a particular time or place. These songs have an emotional component that always affects me. Sometimes deeply, if I'm in the right mood, sometimes only a twinge, when I hear them briefly in passing. These ten quotes are all from songs I like that have this ability to resonate.

Scarecrow on a wooden cross
Blackbird in the barn.
four hundred empty acres
that used to be my farm.
Grew up my like daddy did
My Grandpa cleared this land
when I was five I walked a fence
while Grandpa held my hand
Rain on the Scarecrow - John Mellencamp

Standing at the limit of an endless ocean,
stranded like a runaway lost at sea.
City on a rainy day down in the harbour,
watching as the grey clouds shadow the bay.
Looking everywhere cause I had to find you,
this is not the way that I remember here.
Anyone will tell you it's a prisoner island,
Hidden in the summer for a million years.
Great Southern Land - Icehouse

Out on the road today
I saw a Dead Head sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head
said don't look back you can never look back
The Boys of Summer - Don Henley

Now she used to have a man,
and the man's name was Sam,
and he was the ultimate anti-hero.
And he used to drink
and he used to fight
and he used to beat her almost every night

Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would do a little number
And I sang with all my might
She said, "tell are you a Christian, child"
And I said, "Maam I am tonight"
Walking in Memphis - Marc Cohn

I've seen you at the corners and cafes it seems
Red hair and black leather, my favorite colour schemes

The silicon chip inside her head gets switched to overload
and nobodies going to go to school today
she's going to make them stay at home
and daddy doesn't understand it
he alwasy said she was good as gold
I Don't Like Mondays - The Boomtown Rats

She was quite a lady
Enola Gay
and though she's gone
she's still here in a way

Well I'm standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
and such a fine sight to see
it's a girl my lord, in a flat bed Ford
Slowing down to take a look at me.
