Shared lyrics -although I am guessing at Blue Lamp since I have never been able to listen to that one all the way through.

Battle of the Dragon and Soldier's Angel share lyrics too, as do Forest of the Black Roses (unreleased masterpiece) and If You Ever Did Believe.

If You Ever Did Believe and the demo for Gold Dust Woman from the Rumours reissue share lyrics too.

"Whole Lotta Trouble" and "Thousand Days" are another example of shared lyrics ("...you're not my friend, you're not my love...").

Yup, and how about Angel and Ghosts Are Gone? (like a ghost through a fog...)

Or Talk to Me and Juliet? (... too hard, ... all that tough)

Or Storms and The Nightmare? (I'd like to leave you with something warm)

Yes, I looove the "don't leave me"s at the end of that GDW. So haunting!

And it totally works for If You Ever Did Believe. That song is one of my faves.

That she has shared lyrics running through her songs is fantastic!
I have always loved that she uses phrases in multiple songs... It ties them together in a wonderful way..... that is just Stevie Nicks.....

Crystal is a song that needs to be rediscoverd and championed. One of her best ever.

Yes! The song is so good it was recorded three times, yet never to be performed live (except with Buckingham Nicks).

Not make believe and Everybody loves you share lyrics too, but Not make believe wins for me, here.

I think the references to other songs in The Nightmare was more intentional than in her other songs. I think she was specifically singing about her experiences in Fleetwood Mac and wanted to drive the point home, hence the 'I stood with you against the storm", "about the moon and her sisters" and "drowning in the sea, baby drowning". The same goes for that version of Mirror Mirror where she practically screams "you walk a thin line, walk a think line".

Great observation on The Nightmare (which I love).

Stevie once said that people told her that she is "stealing from herself when she borrows lyrics from other songs of hers."

Sting does the same thing all the time and it's very deliberate.

Hell, I'm a songwriter myself, think I'll start as well.

Can you name a Stevie Nicks song where the title of the song is not a song lyric?

^ I don't think she had one of those in her whole career until In Your Dreams came out with TWO (Moonlight and Wide Sargasso Sea)

" I may never marry, I may be MotherGoose.....

"I think you broke a string that time"

"I haven't called my mother since Christmas"

The first quote was said to Jim Ladd by Stevie in December, 1979. I don't know about the 2nd quote but the 3rd quote came out of the mouth of Lindsey while eating a bag of potato chips in the Making of Tusk docu.

Very good!
The 2nd quote is Christine Mcvie from the Fleetwood Mac Live 1080 album, inbetween the songs Don't Stop & I'm So Afraid.

Yes, I know my Fleetwood Mac inside and out. It's true they are considered a dinosaur band especially when you listen to their live albums from 1080, 1980 & 2005.:):lol::woohoo:
