Time for a fav lyric or passage thread.

I love:

The beautiful
and the sensitive
and the oh so very young

We are adapting to your silence
I can live here without you
at least I am learnign
But I cannot live without your songs

AND

You can consume all the beauty in the room baby

AND

She depends on her music like a husband
and she knows its no good to fall in love again

gold-dusted · #2 02-09-2009, 08:48 PM

I love:

So you look to your guardian angel

AND

Oh you know...the dream keeps coming
Even when you forget to feel

AND

And the dream says I want you
And the dream is gone
So she stays up nights on end
Well at least there is a
dream left

Nicks Fan · #3 02-09-2009, 09:54 PM

I love the lines

Maybe I am calmer now
Maybe things are fine
Maybe I made the whole thing up
Maybe this isn't a lie
Maybe the reson I say these things is to bring you back alive
Maybe I fought this long and this hard to just make sure you survive

I always think of a certain someone when I listen to this song.

Eck,

I always end up saying the same things again and again.

But really, all of Angel. You really can't just quote one or two sentences, because all of the words are enchanting.
I've shaken your faith in me. No, you've shaken my faith in everything else.

Man and woman on a star stream. In the middle of a snow dream.

Come over. Let me put you on ice.

Also, much less popular is Paper Dolls:

Yesterday I was fascinated with somebody else.

We were mirrors of our former selves.

And even if you did miss me, you never let me know.
You prefer to be just a little bit in and out of love with me.
And not to scream and shout, you prefer to be just a little bit in and out of agony.

Michele

These are a few of my favorites.

"No Spoken Word"

Well I either say too much, or I...
I don't say enough
Well I play too hard
Still I'm not tough enough
What was it she wanted
They say she had everything

"Beautiful Child"

I'm old enough
To love you from afar

"Gypsy"

Lightning strikes,
maybe once, maybe twice

"Rock A Little"

Sometimes it rages...rock a little
Even when it's calm...still rock a little
Just like the sea...I rock a little
Say it was just like me
Still rock a little

Sorceror

I am tired
I am thirsty hey-
I am wild eyed...
In my misery yeah yeah...

Miss You

Paris to Rome
London to Paris
Always Goodbye
Nearly couldn't bare it
Her heart settles down
She's back on that staircase -
On the way up to her place

Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You

And they ask her, about the men in her life - and they do ask her.
She says, "Well, they were poets, priests of nothing, legends..."

(Thanks for posting this thread, I really like it...)

For me, I think the line that's always gotten me the most is "all the same, all the same, all the same" from Rhiannon.

It feels like a universal truth to me, so much so that I have it tattooed across my shoulders, lol. I actually have a whole tattoo planned out for that, but I haven't found the right artist to draw the rest yet, so right now it's just the words.

So my pic in the corner is my penquin tattoo that I drew a few months ago and had tattooed... I was wondering what to put around him... I feel like he needs something... Since your idea was so great I was gonna ask for your opinion... Maybe, "All the same, All the Same, All the Same-Unleashed" But in block words all around him... I don't know... LOL Help

alice:

Oh, no, you cannot tell a gypsy
Ooh, that she's no longer a member

HSML:

Still the same old story
What price glory

I can't wait:

Well, she dances around in a circle
Well, she's got that feeling now
Blame it on something at first sight
Put the blame on me if you want to
To be continued

No Spoken Word:

For one night
Well, baby, you fill the night with
The wind and the rain and the water
For one night
Well, just for one night
You know that
Well, that disastrous sound

Now it will make me wiser
He says, "And it will make you look"
She says, "Look out!
I don't know how to learn
From the pages of a book
Well, I either say too much
Or I, I don't say enough
Well, I play too hard
Still I'm not tough enough"
What was it she wanted?
They say she had everything

Come around tonight indecent
Well...baby
Come around tonight
Indecent, baby, well
You fill the room
With the rain and the wind and the water

If you tell me one more time
"Baby, take it easy"
Well, you won't see me ever again

Some people walk down the darkened streets
With the faith of a child
And so go the faithless
But after a while she says...

Rock a Little:

Then you knew her...funny little dancer

She's home now
And she says, "I've gone far beyond that song"
Rock and roll ballerina
Where else would she go?

That is how songs are written
Stories are told, rumours are started

Sable on blonde:

Do you hold that dream
In your hands each night...this time
In your hands each night...this time

Stand back:

No one looked as I walked by
Just an invitation would have been just fine

Joan of arc:

And they came in tired
And they said "Tired was the end of the line"
Well, I can't save you
Joan of Arc...this time

Turn to the wall, baby
Turn it to the wall, now
Turn it to the wall
Joan of Arc

Beautiful child:

You say it will be harder in the morning
I wait for you to say, "Just go"
Your hands held mine so few hours
And I'm not a child anymore

Sara:

I think I had met my match
He was singing
And undoing...and undoing the laces
Undoing the laces

and I could go on forever and ever.

ALICE:
Some carry a stiletto in their garter
along with everything else
that they carry...

THINK ABOUT IT:
I am just one...small...part...
Of forever..."
Falling...star..star
Catcher

Favorite lyrics would be:

"Take on the situation, but not the torment, you know it's not as bad as it seems" ~ "Think About It" (my mantra!)

"And the days go by, doing nothing about them..." ~ "If You Ever Did Believe"

"The clouds never expect it when it rains, but the sea changes color, but the sea does not change" ~ "Edge Of Seventeen" (this says so much on many levels)

"Sometimes it rages, rock a little, even when it's calm...rock a little" ~ "Rock A Little" (this was my quote in my high school yearbook in '89)

"Maybe I am calmer now, maybe things are fine, maybe I made the whole thing up, maybe this isn't a lie..." ~ "Fall From Grace"

I could go on and on

Haha, I cannot tell you what tattoo to get. It is your skin, not mine. I would avoid the "unleashed," though, unless you are overly attached to it, since it's just a weird word they tacked onto the tour.

If you want to put words around him, just choose the ones that resonate with YOU and you won't mind looking at for the rest of your life. Most people can't figure out why my shoulders say what they do, but that's okay, because "all the same" feels true to me.

On some days, I consider another Mac universal truth, "IT'S NOT THAT FUNNY, IS IT?" ;-)

Typically, I get a tattoo after each of my mac concerts. Nothing that is too specific to the mac ( or stevie.) Just things that rock me... "All the same..." is a great quote and I love it. "Unleashed" is something that a lot of people say about me and my personality. (Maybe another reason I am so excited about this tour...) I am not sure. I just wanted another tattoo fan's idea... 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
