And it's true we are immune
when fact is fiction and TV reality

U2, Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Back to life, back to reality
Back to the here and now yeah
Show me how, decide what you want from me
Tell me maybe I could be there for you

En Vogue, Back to Life

Nice follow up rev...congrats on the Honorable Mention for 53 posts in the first 500 on the movie quotes!

Welcome back, your dreams were your ticket out.
Welcome back to that same old place that you laughed about.
Well the names have all changed since you hung around,
But those dreams have remained and they’re turned around.

John Sebastian - theme song from Welcome Back, Kotter

great idea! thanks for starting another addictive thread ;-)

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me

Dean Martin, Dream a Little Dream

----------
Thanks, steph! Actually I was surprised that I had so *few*. :-)
As I said, shopper, I kept thinking of lyrics that would fit with the movie quotes so I figured another thread might be fun.

I'm sleeping
And right in the middle of a good dream
like all at once I wake up
From something that keeps knocking at my brain
Before I go insane
I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed
Screaming out the words I dread:
"I think I love you!" (I think I love you)

Partridge Family "I think I love you"

I'm waiting in my cold cell
As the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life
And it doesn't have much time
'Cause at five o'clock
They take me to the gallows pole
The sands of time
For me are running low

Iron Maiden, Hallowed be thy Name

I'm a rolling thunder, a pouring rain
I'm comin' on like a hurricane
My lightning's flashing across the sky
You're only young but you're gonna die

I won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives
Nobody's putting up a fight
I got my bell, I'm gonna take you to hell
I'm gonna get you, Satan get you

Hell's Bells
Yeah, Hell's Bells
You got me ringing Hell's Bells
My temperature's high, Hell's Bells

AC/DC, Hell's Bells

Living easy, living free
Season ticket on a one-way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride
Don't need reason, don't need rhyme
Ain't nothing I would rather do
Going down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too

I'm on the highway to hell

AC/DC, Highway to Hell

think I'm gonna be sad,
I think it's today yeah.
The girl that's driving me mad
Is going away, yeah.

She's got a ticket to ride,
She's got a ticket to ride,
She's got a ticket to ride,
But she don't care.

Beatles: Ticket to ride

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Steppenwolf, Born to be Wild

If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says
15 miles to the... love shack! love shack yeah
I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway, lookin' for the love getaway
Heading for the love getaway, love getaway,
I got me a car, it's as bigas a whale and we're headin' on down
To the love shack.

B-52's: Love Shack

The highways jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybody's out on the run tonight but theres no place left to hide
Together Wendy we'll live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
Someday girl I don't know when were gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go and we'll walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us baby we were born to run

Bruce Springsteen, Born to Run

Billy rapped all night 'bout his suicide
How he'd kick it in the head when he was 25
Don't wanna stay alive when you're 25

Wendy's stealing clothes from unlocked cars
Freddy's got spots from ripping off stars from his face
Funky little boat race
The television man is crazy
Saying we're juvenile delinquent wrecks
Man I need a TV when I've got T. Rex
Hey brother you guessed
I'm a dude

CHORUS (twice)
All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news

David Bowie, All the Young Dudes

You have to learn to pace yourself
Pressure
You're just like everybody else
Pressure
You've only had to run so far
So good
But you will come to a place
Where the only thing you feel
Are loaded guns in your face
And you'll have to deal with
Pressure

Billy Joel, Pressure

-------------------

This is only going to work until I start putting movie quotes here and songs there!

Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more chance
Why can't we give love
Give love give love give love give love
Give love give love give love
Love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves

This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure

Queen, Under Pressure

You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen

Abba, "Dancing Queen"

I am 16 going on 17
I know that i'm naive
Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet
And willingly I believe

Sound of Music "Sixteen Going on Seventeen"

Well she's sexy and seventeen
My little rock-roll queen
Acts a little bit obscene
Gotta let off a little steam
Dig that sound shake it around you're mine , mine , mine

Stray Cats, "Sexy and 17"

Miss Lucy had a steam boat
The steamboat had a bell,
Miss Lucy went to heaven and the
Steamboat went to...

----------------------

couldn't resist ;-)

And I remember you and me
Drawing hearts in the window steam
Holding on to seventeen
Those days ain't ever coming back
Swept away by the winds of change
Time only moves one way
Baby out of all the things I've had to let go
I miss you the most

Andy Griggs, I Miss You the Most
-------------
getting back on track . . .

Well, I'm a steamroller, baby
I'm bound to roll all over you
Yes, I'm a steamroller now, baby
I'm bound to roll all over you
I'm gonna inject your soul with some sweet rock 'n roll
And shoot you full of rhythm and blues

James Taylor, Steamroller

Long ago and oh so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show
Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear
But you're not really here
It's just the radio

Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby, I love you I really do

The Carpenters, Superstar

Honey, you are my shining star
Don't you go away
Wanna be right here where you are
Until my dying day

The Manhattans, Shining Star

Some folks like to get away,
Take a holiday from the neighborhood.
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood.
But I'm takin' a Greyhound on the Hudson River line.
I'm in a New York state of mind.

I've seen all the movie stars in their fancy cars and their limousines.
Been high in the Rockys under the evergreens.
I know what I'm needin', and I don't wanna waste more time.
I'm in a New York state of mind.

Billy Joel, New York State of Mind

Now, if you're feeling kinda low 'bout the dues you've been paying
Future's coming much too slow
And you wanna run but somehow you just keep on staying
Can't decide on which way to go
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People living in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind
Yeah

Boston, Peace of Mind

It don't come easy, you know it don't come easy
It don't come easy, you know it don't come easy

You got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy
You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy

Forget about the past
And all your sorrow
The future won't last
It will soon be your tomorrow

Ringo Starr, It Don't Come Easy

+++++++++++++++++
Can't tell I'm bored today, hey?

Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.

Fleetwood Mac, Don't Stop

Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin- anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Journey, Don't Stop Believin'

Red, red wine
Go to my head
Make me forget that I
Still need her so

Red, red wine
It`s up to you
All I can do, I`ve done
But mem`ries won`t go
No, mem`ries won`t go

UB40, Red Red Wine

Double posted so I had to change the second one...

thanks for the memories, even if they weren't so great

"Thnks fr th Mmrs" (pronounced "thanks for the memories")by Fall Out Boy

Thanks for the memory:
Of things I can't forget, journeys on a jet,
Our wond'rous week in Martinique and Vegas and roulette.
How lucky I was.

And thanks for the memory:
Of summers by the sea, dawn in Waikiki.
We had a pad in London but we didn't stop for tea;
How cozy it was.

Bob Hope "Thanks for the Memories"

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that youll wait for me
Hold me like youll never let me go.
Im leavin on a jet plane
I dont know when Ill be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

Peter, Paul and Mary - Leaving on a Jet Plane

When you're a Jet,
You're a Jet all the way
From your first cigarette
To your last dyin' day.

When you're a Jet,
If the spit hits the fan,
You got brothers around,
You're a family man!

Riff "The Jet Song" - West Side Story (blend of the two forums :-))

But he said leave me alone, I'm a family man
And my bark is much worse than my bite
He said leave me alone, I'm a family man
But if you push me too far I just might

Hall & Oates - Family Man

Family man, FAMILY man, family MAN.
With your glances my way, takin' no chances on the new day,
family man.
Family man, with your life all planned,
your little sand castle built, smilin' through your guilt,
family...man.
Here I come.

Black Flag - Family Man

(Note: this is an awesome cd to blast when you're an angst-ridden teenager fighting with your parents...:-))

A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said
They said come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

Styx - Come Sail Away

So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up
I wanna go home

Beach Boys - Sloop John B

Come Mr. Tally-man
Tally me bananas
Daylight come
An' me wan' go home

Harry Belafonte, Banana Boat Song

There's a fruit store on our street
It's run by a Greek
And he keeps good things to eat
But you should hear him speak!
When you ask him anything,
he never answers "no"
He just "yes"es you to death,
and as he takes your dough
He tells you "Yes, we have no bananas
We have-a no bananas today
We've string beans, and onions
Cabashes, and scallions,
And all sorts of fruit and say
We have an old fashioned tomato
A Long Island potato
But yes, we have no bananas
We have no bananas today

Lyrics as sung by Billy Jones, Edison Blue Amberol Cylinder #4778 Released October 1923

She asked me "Do I need to lose a bit of weight?"
And I told her "Don't be stupid 'cause you're looking great"
And I call her String Bean Jean because the label on her jeans says
Seven to eight years old - well that's pretty small

Belle and Sebastian, String Bean Jean

Sitting round singing songs 'til the night turns into day
Used to sing on the mountains but the mountains washed away
Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart
She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start.

Led Zeppelin, The Ocean

If you go down in the streets today, Baby, you better,
You better open your eyes.
Folk down there really don't care, really don't care, don't care, really don't
Which, which way the pressure lies,
So I've decided what I'm gonna do now.
So I'm packing my bags for the Misty Mountains
Where the spirits go now,
Over the hills where the spirits fly, ooh.
I really don't know.

Led Zeppelin, Misty Mountain Hop

Begin the day with a friendly voice,
A companion unobtrusive
Plays the song that's so elusive
And the magic music makes your morning mood.
Off on your way, hit the open road,
There is magic at your fingers
For the Spirit ever lingers,
Undemanding contact in your happy solitude.

Rush, The Spirit of Radio

I listen to our favorite song
playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say loves a game of easy come and
easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now
If I could have let you know somehow
I guess
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn

Poison, Every Rose Has Its Thorn

Some say love
it is a river
that drowns
the tender reed

some say love
it is a razor
that leaves
your soul to bleed

some say love,
it is a hunger
an endless,
aching need

I say love
it is a flower,
and you
its only seed

Bette Midler, The Rose

don't know why I love you like I do
After all the changes you put me through
You stole my money and my cigarette
And I haven't seen hide nor hair of you yet

I don't know
Won't you tell me
Why I don't understand

Take me to the river
Won't you wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul
Put my feet on the ground

Al Green and Mabon Hodges, Take Me To The River

Dere's an ol' man called de Mississippi,
Dat's de ol' man dat I'd like to be,
What does he care if de world's got troubles?
What does he care if de land ain't free?
Ol' Man River,
Dat Ol' Man River,
He mus' know sumpin',
But don' say nothin';
He jes' keeps rollin',
He keeps on rollin' along.

Jerome Kerns, Old Man River

We're headin' 'cross the river
Wash your sins away in the tide
It's all so peaceful
On the other side

Forget your troubles, c'mon get happy
You better chase all your cares away
Shout Hallelujah, c'mon get happy
Get ready for the judgment day

Ella Fitzgerald, Get Happy

----
[49] Beautiful! You fixed it, HLW!

I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been

Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we’re rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river

Tina Turner, Proud Mary

*********
Tsok epaz! It goes well with the subtheme here!

Mary, sweet lady of pain
Always alone
Blind you search for the truth
I see myself in you, parallel lives
Winding at light-speed through time

No time to rest yet
We've got to stop his game
Before madness has the final laugh
Too much bloodshed
We're being used and fed
Like rats in experiments
No final outcome here
Only pain and fear
It's followed us both all our lives
There's one thing left to see
Will it be him or me?
There's one more candle left to light

Queensryche, Suite Sister Mary

Looking out on a familiar scene
There's no agreement in what we see
Your perception lacks clarity
And my perspective is blinding me

Side by side
Divided they stand

Parallel lives running parallel with you
To the point where our horizons divide
My opinion is just a point of view
And your position is the other side

Fates Warning, Point of View

A bottle of red, a bottle of white
Whatever kind of mood you're in tonight
I'll meet you anytime you want
In our Italian Restaurant.

Billy Joel, "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant"

"You had the Dom Perignon in your hand and the spoon up your nose"

Billy Joel, Big Shot

But a shot in the dark one step away from you
A shot in the dark not a thing that you can do
A shot in the dark always creeping up on you

Ozzy Osbourne, Shot in the Dark

Say your prayers little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone

Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit, light
Enter, night
Take my hand
We're off to never never land

Metallica, Enter Sandman

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Give him two lips like roses and clover (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.

Mr. Sandman, The Chordettes

Yeah
My mind's such a sweet thing
I wanna do everything
What a beautiful feeling
Crimson and clover
Over and over

Tommy James and the Shondells, Crimson and Clover

There's a bright, golden haze on the meadow
There's a bright, golden haze on the meadow.
The corn is as high as an elephant's eye
And it looks like it's climbing clear up to the sky.

Oh, what a beautiful Mornin'
Oh, what a beautiful day.
I've got a beautiful feelin'
Everything's goin' my way.

"Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'" - Oklahoma

Just call me angel of the morning, Angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, Angel
Then slowly turn away from me

Juice Newton, Angel of the Morning

There's and Angel on my shoulder, here tonight
Making sure that I'm alright
When I'm falling fast, you rescue me, you love unconditionally
And when I'm clod and so alone
Back in your arms I feel at home
I pray that you will always be, A guardian Angel

Gareth Gates: "Angel on My Shoulder"

Now I'm calling all citizens from all over the world
This is Captain America calling
I bailed you out when you were down on your knees
So will you catch me now I'm falling
Catch me now I'm falling

The Kinks, Catch Me Now I'm Falling

Wise men say only fools rush in
But I cant help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I cant help falling in love with you

Elvis "I can't help falling in love with you"

Why do birds sing so gay
And lovers await the break of the day
Why do they fall in love?
Why does the rain fall from up above?
Why do fools fall in love?
Why do they fall in love?

Diana Ross, Why Do Fools Fall in Love

Why do birds
Suddenly appear?
Everytime you are near
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

Why do stars
Fall down from the sky?
Everytime you walk by
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

Carpenters: "Close to you"

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Beatles, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
A kiss may be grand but it won't pay the rental
On your humble flat, or help you at the automat
Men grow cold as girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end
But square cut or pear shaped
These rocks don't lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Marilyn Monroe, Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend

A winters day
In a deep and dark december;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
Ive built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
Its laughter and its loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

Dont talk of love,
But Ive heard the words before;
I
