What is the one line in any song

[jadtiger]

"They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast."

"You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave."

It's a song about addiction.

It's also about the only song from the Eagles that i liked

Hotel California's true meaning, like life itself, is elusive. And maybe that is the point.
A great song, with that iconic guitars solo at the end.

Come Out Ye Black & Tans​

​

I was born on a Dublin street
Where the Royal drums do beat
And those loving English feet
They walked all over us
And every single night
When me da would come home tight
He'd invite the neighbors out with this chorus
Come out you black and tans
Come out and fight me like a man
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell her how the IRA
Made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra

As I've gotten older I've become more open minded about music. Love listening to rock now.

Many people do like them but i just did not like them much.I have a few thousand musical Cd's from rock and blues but not even one of theirs.Even Hotel California would not entice me to get their "best of" album

You know, sometimes in a thread you get something that sparks curiosity to find out more, as your reply has done. Lots of history, inclusive of the meaning of Black and Tans, thanks!!

The Black and Tans was a military formation in Ireland that the British should be permanently ashamed by

For depth and profundity it's hard to go past Fred Durst

"And where you gonna run when your starin' down the cable of a
mic pointed at your grill like a gun?"

"People in the house put them hands in the air
Cuz if you don't care, then we don't care
One two three times two to the six
Jolts in for your fix with the Limp Bizkit mix"

There are places I’ll remember all my life, though some have changed – some forever – not for better. Some are gone and some remain. All these places have their moments, with lovers and friends I still can recall. Some are dead and some are living. In my life, I’ve loved them all.”

Such a great song.

It’s such a great song. Just love the instrumentals, particularly the piano when it’s speeds up to sound like a harpsichord, so hard to get it out of your mind.

The great thing about music is it brings many people together

 

[Lidcombe_Magpie2]

How many cabs in New York City, how many angels on a pin?
How many notes in a saxophone, how many tears in a bottle of gin?
How many times did you call my name, knock at the door but you couldn't get in?
I know I've been careless

She was a fast machine, she kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman that I, ever seen…

Joining Tucker with a car related anthem :
I've got a "69 Chevy with a 396,
Fuellie heads and a Hurst on the floor.
She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot,
outside the Seven Eleven store.

Sitting out on the Palm Beach Road
I'm so drunk and the car won't go
My crazy eyes keep looking out to sea
