I think the lyrics that are really intense for me are, "I am tired, I am thirsty. I am wild eyed in my misery." I just don't know how I could make that work around my penguin, lol

How many tattoos do you have? I really want to get a tattoo at some point too, probably something Mac or Stevie related.

#1 "Shangri-La" was my first tattoo, after the TISL tour. #2 King Tutt's Symbol for Strength and Prosperity... Inspired By the SYW tour and the Tutt exhibit we went to around that same period of time. #3 is a bee-hive 50'S chick that I got around the time of the Gold Dust tour. #4 Is Mac the Pimp-Posh-Penguin I drew before I met Stevie in Detroit. Now, not all of them were directly because of Fleetwood Mac, but chances are FM was playing while I got it, or there was a concert coming up... Something FM related, on some level. (If any of that makes sense, lol)

Maybe you can get the words done elsewhere, instead of around the penguin, and let the penguin stand on his own? I like those lines, too, but I agree on not being sure how to make them work around your penguin.

"Look at me with daggers, it won't do you any good" - Freedom

"Drownin, in the sea of love, where everyone would love to drown" - Sara

"Heartbreak of the moment, is not endless, your fortune is you life's love" - Think About It [This song is really my song. It always makes me feel better in any mood. I know she wrote it for Chrisitne McVie, but I'm feelin that the song fits me perfectly (and I'm a Christine )]

All of Angel <3

"There are too many flowers to cut down for the love I had for your life" - Running Through the Garden

"Maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire, every time that you walk in the room, well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself, I have known this much longer than I've known you" - Rooms on Fire

"When I want something, I get it" -Whole Lotta Trouble

"I still see your bright eyes"
"She was just a wish"
[That whole last part of Extended Gypsy ]

And-
"If I was a child, and the child was enough, enough for me to love, enough to love" -Gypsy

"You can dedicate your pain to him" -Thrown Down

[jedw]

all of "Alice"

"I think I had met my match" - Sara

"Its only right you should play it the way you feel it" - Dreams (actually all of this song)

"I did not deal with the road, and I did not deal with you I know" - Storms

"Outside the rain and the heart skips a beat
So you're lonely
Creature of the night it's been almost a week
Can you love me only"

[dnightshade]

I've always been partial to:

Wait a minute, Baby
Stay with me awhile
Said you'd give me Light
But you never told me 'bout the fire

And:

Sleepless child,
There's so little time
Your eyes say yes
But you don't say yes,
I wish that you were mine

And:

Intense silence
As she walked in the room
Her black robes trailing
Sister of the moon . . .

[bellagypsy79]

"The dream keeps comming even when you forget to feel"

"So we both play, it get's under your skin,and we both love the road, but the roads are different"

"well suddenly, there was no one left standing in the hall/in a flood of tears that no one ever really heard fall at all/well I went searching for an answer up the stairs and down the hall/ I did not hear an answer but I did hear the call of the nightbird"

"There is magic all around you everytime you walk in the room"

"I am dealing with a man, when away from me stays deep inside my heart"

"And The lady's feeling just like the moon that she loved"

"Fever goes higher what can you do? Wild In the darkest places of your mind, that's when I needed you"

"When I walked into your house, I knew I never want to leave"

"I'll take off my cape for you, I'll take down my hair for you, anything you want me to do my love"

The whole song of "Smile at You"! Hell yeah!

"If I had my life to live over, I would never dream"

There are more, but not enough room.

Okay, all of these rock... LOL I love each one of them! Great taste. Perfect choices!!!

[Sleepless-Child]

All of Crystal, Angel, Beautiful Child and Rhiannon...and others probably, but I couldn't choose just one line for these ones.

"Like a heartbeat drives you mad in the stillness of remembering what you had, and what you lost"

"There's a heartbeat and it never really died" (this is definitely beautiful and full of sense)

"I have no fear, I have only love", in fact, Faith.

"You're not like other people, you do what you want to", for some reason, I love this line =)

"Rulers make bad lovers, you better put your kingdom up for sale"

(Every single line from Blue Lamp..)

"Sunflowers and your face fascinate me, you love only the tallest tree"

"Sometimes to be near you, is to be enable to hear you, my love"

"Look in my eyes, touch my face, baby, there's no one who can take my place"
and "Love is a word that some entertain, if you find it, you have won the game"

"So I'm never gonna see you deep inside my heart, but I see your shadow against, shadow against, shadow agains the wa-aaaall sshhh, baby I see your shadow against the wall"

"Fire on fire, rain on my face, fever goes higher, what can you do? Wild in the darkest places of your mind, that's where I needed you, where I needed you the most..."

"No one knows how I feel, what I say unless you read between my lines"

"There is no beauty without my beast...la belle, la bête.."

"Yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else"

And on, and on...

[StreetAngel95]

you know, i went from the beginnin gof this thread and read all your choices...i started crying...like balling. Stevie is such a prolific songwriter and there will NEVER be another one like her.

as for my choices.....oh sweet lord i can't pick just a couple! Each one is connected to me in someway...but i jsut love "Miranda is taking the stars down....etc..." because Stevie is saying my name

[ButterCookie]

The whole of Landslide.


You fell in love when I was only ten
The years dissapeared
Much has gone by since then
I bite my lip, you can send me away
You touch
I have no choice
I have to stay
I had to stay
...
I'm not a child anymore
I'm tall enough to reach for the stars
I'm old enough to love you from afar
Too trusting yes?
But then women usually are


Give to me your leather, take from me my lace


I have never been a blue calm sea, I have always been a storm


Don't blame it on me, blame it on my wild heart


She is like a cat in the dark and then she is the darkness/Dreams unwind, love's a state of mind

[darklinensuit]

Then go with her
You know that you want to
Well, you could use a dreamer, I think
Somewhere on your side
Then maybe if that woman could make you crazy
Oh, did she call out
Did she say, Please save me
Save me tonight
Tonight



And then he sees her coming
Heartbeats on the wind
Considers slowing down
But then he could never win



Sometimes it rages
Rock a little
Even when it’s calm
Rock a little



Fire on fire
Rain on my face
Fever goes higher
What can you do?
Wild in the darkest places in your mind
That’s where I needed you



So I try to say Goodbye, my friend
I’d like to leave you with something warm
But never have I been a blue calm sea
I have always been a storm



Oh, but it was dark out
And I held the cards
I was the dealer
And it wasn’t hard



I play the part
But then all of us do
And I do it so well
As I do it to you
In this town full of strangers
In this town full of fools
Venus doesn’t glitter when she stands next to you
When you’re waltzing through stardom
You miss what you lose



Fingers find the ivory keys and a song
Begins to begin like a wolf on the run



Keep that fury deep inside you
And wish it to end
And when your friends start asking you why
You just say nothing



Don't listen to her
Listen through her




- Jake

Me too! I've read through it twice now and the tears are still running down my cheek...

[SapphireSister]

My first response to this thread was "favorite lyric"? That's like asking me to pick my favorite child and I knew it would be a difficult and time consuming task so I decided to think about it (no pun intended) for the last few hours before I responded. Keep in mine this could change at any time. It seems as though any situation can present itself and there is always a Stevie lyric to help me make sense of it all. Isn't that truly magical?
With that being said, here are just a few:

"Timeless is the creature who is not wise
and timeless is the prisioner in disguise"

"Come in out of the darkness"

"It's like bombay sapphires
Hey I can take you higher
Whatever you desire
I can mend your heart"

"I turned around and the water was closing around me"

"Everything happens for a reason. Stay clear"

"And the summer became fall
I was not ready for the winter
It makes no difference at all
cause I wear boots all summer long"

"You cannot know a dream till' you've known a nightmare"

"Undercover music lover and an art lover like me
There were candles, crystals, I was anyone's fantasy"

"Was it a thorn in your side
Something you can't hide
Something you don't touch
Because it hurts too much"

"Come over. Let me put you on ice"

"Well I feel I need a little sympathy"

"No amount of crying changes your mind
No amount of praying brings you inside"

"But the promise has been broken
As you walk through the shadow of death"

"Not guilty, have mercay!"

'Time cast it's spell on you but you won't forget me
I know I could have loved you but you would not let me (give me just a chance)
I'll follow you down til the sound of my voice will haunt you
You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you (was I just a fool?)"

"The spirits are ruthless with the paths they chose"

"Affairs of the heart that start out in the dark usually stay with the night"

"Rulers they make bad lovers. You better put your kingdom up for sale"

"Time makes you bolder children get older and I'm getting older too"

"My walls are flaming"

"But never have I been a blue calm sea
I have always been a storm"

"I hope you find a love. Your own designs of love. That's alright"

"Songs are written, stories are told, rumours are started"

"To a room with some lace and paper flowers"

"Like a soft silver chain"

Alright so that wasn't just a few but I couldn't chose!
