Subject: Best Line/Couplet from GW/BC
TLLegend came up with a good topic that's buried under an avalanch of another thread. What's your favorite lyrical line from TGW/BC? Mine is the tremendously meaningful "Brreet,...jong bonga..etc." from the Paramount Amer Wom. which I challenge anyone to transcribe below syllable by syllable, from the first "brrreeet" to those naughty words.

and if only for an instant, amid the hurly burly and rapid jive, I could look up at something I once thought I believed in and thank him for the feeling of sometimes being alive
is your manager managing to manage for the best or is he makin' out fine for himself? does your record label bring you in with trumpets and horns just to pack you back away on the shelf

Quothe Webster:
Two verses or lines of poetry, especially two that rhyme together; a pair of rhymes.
So I guess they don't HAVE to rhyme. Some days are like that, just ask Gilbert O'Sullivan.
I like your "Boring Dreams" verses alot. They really caught my attention. Good wordsmithing, as well as making a meaningful statement. I guess we would term this a quadruplet.

I was a workshop owner
I was a workshop owner
Baby and me were ripe for the pickins
That was the day we ran into Albert Flasherrrrrrrrrrr...

Well, liiiiiiiiiiife in the bloodstream
Thaaaaaaaaaaat's the natural progression
Well, liiiiiiiiiiife in the bloodstream

If I had somethin I could carry it in...

So step right up and put your music where your mouth is,
Pretty boys can make room for one more that just can't seem to win...

With all of these wonders passing through,
Take a special few of them, store them in your heart;
Yeah, when all of these wonders come to pass,
That's a bridge in time,
A bridge in time...

What could be more pathetic than having boring dreams?

Do you find self-importance in the things that you do
you're finding out that no one really cares
If I had the mind or I had the time maybe I could throw together a new kind of rhyme and tell about my warning
but its too late now..>
Whatever happened to images
cause now they're gone
Ane worn-out phrases just keep a hangin on
Whaterver happened to homes as opposed to houses
Whatever happened to early morning open skies
and broken faces, half with melting eyes
enough of riddles that just play with time,
cause I'm still here and I can't beg a dime..
..Should've stayed in bed this morning
payin much too bad
but when i think of you when I wake up
it makes me forget what I have to do
Think i'll stay in bed this morning
paying much too baaa..aa.aaa.ad
So I guess I'll dream about you baby
and forget where I am
and forget about who I am
and forget about what I am....

I'll tell mine again, a tossup between,

True embarrassment. I got RF about a month ago, but I didn't recognize the lyrics. Guess I haven't been eating enough (ha - never thought I'd say that!)

I think that was a VERY commendable effort. A round of applause would be MOST appropriate at this juncture. Perhaps when we have this wildly anticipated heading up north for the big celebration (a gathering of the Hordes of Burtonian Brethren at the occasion of a GW reunion concert in Toronto, or somesuch), you would be so kind to give us your live verbatum rendition of this superhuman scat. You don't have to do the naughty words unless you really want to.

> Any couplet from " Sour Suite",
from the direct "runaway dad" verse
to the obscure "46201" (later clarified for me,
anyway, in UC&A.)
this is a song, lyrically, that should of made
J. Lennon jealous. how was this not a bigger
hit?
the good news is that BC sings Sour Suite
better as he has, uh, matured. (to me,
maybe the best song on the fabulous UC&A)
