Låttextrader

Har kliat mitt huvud och scannat skivhyllan för att minnas vilka låttextrader jag tycker är väldigt bra. Jag tänkte att det skulle vara roligt (nåt måste man ju sysselsätta sig med). Och givetvis måste jag lägga upp dem på bloggen, för annars är det ju ingen större mening med projektet. Så här kommer några rader som är vackra eller fyndiga eller roliga eller asballa eller ja, ni fattar:


"When our kite lines first crossed, we tied them into knots/ To finally fly apart, we had to cut them off"
(The Shins - Pink Bullets)

"The Mississippi Delta was shining like a national guitar"
(Paul Simon - Graceland)

"Where were you while we were getting high?"
(Oasis - Champagne Supernova)

"Scratching like a tom cat, got a monkey on my back/ I'm gonna push and pull and howl like a wolf and drive my cadillac"
(Primal Scream - Jailbird)

"This is the first day of my life/ Glad I didn't die before I met you"

"We never messed around with discipline/We got our own jihad if you know what I mean"
(The Tough Alliance - Koka Kola Veins)

Och sist men knappast minst:

(Pink Floyd - Bike)
