Favorite Chris lines...
 

They have a thread like this going on over at the Stevie forum-thought it might be fun to do one here...

Here's one of my favorites, from "Wish You Were Here":

"I feel like a child tonight"

Well my heart will rise up with the morning sun
And the hurt I feel will simply melt away
__________________________________________________

Hands Down!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, strandinthewind took my favorite lyrics from "Why". :) So, I'll go instead with my favorite lyrics from In The Meantime.

So I tripped and I fell
I got lost for a little while
But you caught me in your loving arms
Rescued me with your smile

from "Givin' It Back"

and,

Cracks appearing on your loving face
I saw them then I can see them now

from "Bad Journey"

My favorite is my sig:

"And I wish you all the love in the world
But most of all, I wish it from myself..."

from Songbird :D

"If there's been a fool around, it's got to be me; yes, it's got to be me"

"Yes, I can live today, if you give me tomorrow, as long as you follow"

There's rain on my window
I can count the drops.

"Take everything easy, show me a smile"

"There's no stopping him"

pronounced

"there's no stopping em"

"Well my heart will rise up with the morning sun
And the hurt I feel will simply melt away"

Naturally :nod:

"Clear as the morning rain, seeing it very plain"

"Why not lie here in my arms and listen to the night?"

"What can you say to accuse me..."

I like her lyrics and they're a nice break from the mystical, enigmatic Stevie ones.

Shamus

>>don't have all of her material or all of the Mac's material yet, so can someone tell me what song that beautiful line is from?
Hillary>>

It's from Spare Me A Little.

You guys have taken all my favorite lines! The ones from Why and from Songbird are probably my favorites...

-Lis

"Don't you remember, those days of golden light....When we knew that together, we could make it all right - seems so long ago, maybe it was yesterday....where does the time go, I guess it just slipped away...."

"You're never too old to learn....never to young to pray...it's never too late to learn...and hope for better days..."

Among others...
AMber

:nod:

All of my favorites have been mentioned already!!

From I'm the One:

"I'm Not Your Doctor Baby I'm Not Your Phsyiciatrist"

i think everyone's pretty much quoted all the lines from "why" that i love. LOL

for the spell that you cast
and the ties that bind. . .

the stars must be my friends to shine for me

and the whole first verse of "wam ways"

EVERY SINGLE LINE FROM OH DADDY...It's her best lyrically....and my fav! :D


-Curt

Good choice. :)

I love that first verse from Warm Ways, too. :thumbsup:

"It's time to move on to the rain... and finally break the Chain."

This line makes me want to cry- it is her Goodbye song to Fleetwood Mac. I love it.

"And before the first love song had ever been sung"

I can't believe no one said, and I love:
"Well I need a sugar daddy, who could be my friend, and if I needed a little money, I know he would lend me, lend me a hand..."
A personal fav, for obvious reasons... :laugh:
AMber

hmm... well I love way too many of her songs so it looks like I better narrow it down!

- "If I could turn the page, in time then I'd rearrange just a day or two"
- "Yes, I can live today, if you give me tomorrow"
- "I'm lost inside my warring worlds, casting stones, throwing bones" (LOVE Northern Star!)
- "Well my heart will rise up with the morning sun, and the hurt i feel will simply melt away"
-"It's a devil's disguise, angel in black, and I recognize the face behind the mask"

It's so hard to narrow it down... she's got a lot of wonderful music.

"Didn't you like my love song, darling?
I was so sincere." (from So Sincere)

I think that encapsulates everything she stands for!

Others that I haven't seen mentioned yet:

"You woo me until the sun comes up" (Say You Love Me)

"I don't hold you down,
Maybe that's why you're around." (Think About Me)

"I'm gonna win
I'm gonna beg, steal or borrow
As long as you follow." (As Long as You Follow)

Fav lines....
 

~~eclipse~~[FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium]Simple, but fav line-

Just kinds of sums up the whole "wild days " of rock and roll----Ah, I wish I was there......"Isn't it midnight? on the other side of the world.... and will you remember the face of a pretty girl??


but instead I go to work....
~~eclipse~~ :shocked:

yYAaaAaayyYyYy, Oh Daddy love!!!!! :D

"There's no use in cryin it's all over"

"You can rely on a love that wont die for haven't I told you so"

"If I could turn a page in time then I'd rearrange just a day or two"

"And I love you I love you I love you like never before"

"Are you just another liar? Will you take me all the way?"

"Once in a while I fall back into that dark place where you reside"


Gail

I guess you couldn't work out
No, you never could be right
for me :distress:

Oh, and I can't believe no one's mentioned:

Yooooooooooooooou are the man
Funny little white car with the broken light :lol:

"There's no step for you to dance to
So slip your hand inside of my glove"

"You can take me to paradise,
And then again you can be cold as ice"

"Why not lie here in my arms
And listen to the night"

"I got some pretty wicked ways
To get my sweet revenge"

"A kiss and oh the never ending thrill"

"Your mood is like a circus wheel....you're changin all the time...sometimes I can't help but feel that I'm wastin all of my tiiiiiime."

and from my all-time favorite Mac song:
"There's nobody in the future, so baby let me let me hand you my love,
there's no step for you to dance to, so slip your hand inside of my glove."

And yes, I realize that as a Lindsey-crazed fan, it seems very unusual that "Hold Me" would be my all time favorite Mac song....but it really is! :shrug:

Heroes are hard to find... another kick ass bass line from John as well! :woohoo:

One more...........
 

"I may not mean everything, but I'm happy to have your love."

From that same, gorgeous song:

"There's rain on my window
And I can count the drops
But I can't help feeling lonely
There's no way...no way that I could stop"

Trusted you with all my heart
never thought you tear me apart!

It's from Spare Me A Little.

brightest stevie blessings~
jill

Gosh, it occurs to me from reading all these that Chris is a great, sublime, lyricist.. :D I'm saying that because a lot of her songs *sound* to sugary and not so rockin' so i don't listen to them as much...but my eyes have been opened, baby i see the light, there's no one else to lay it down, lay down the love tonight...
