Hi Carole, My fav is Simon and Garfunkle Homeward Bound I’m sitting in a railway station, Got a ticket for my destination On a tour of one night stands My suitcase and guitar in hand And every stop is neatly planned For a poet and a one man band Homeward bound I wish I was Homeward bound Home, where my thought’s escaping Home, where my music’s playing Home, where my love lies waiting Silently for me Everyday’s an endless stream Of cigarettes and magazines And each town looks the same to me The movies and the factories And every stranger’s face I see Reminds me that I long to be Homeward bound I wish I was Homeward bound Home, where my thought’s escaping Home, where my music’s playing Home, where my love lies waiting Silently for me Timeless!

Hi Carole, Intesting thread… One of my favourite lyrics is in a song called ‘the never-ending why’ by a band called Placebo the lyric is: ‘Time will help you through, but it doesn’t have the time, to give you all the answers to the never-ending why’ Always makes me think i’m over-thinking most things in life, and there aren’t many answers anyway…time is what is needed. Also Damien Rice’s song ‘cocunut skins’ and the lyric… ‘you can wait for ages, watch your compost turn to coal, time is contagious-everybody’s growing old’ The whole of this song is excellent just thought this lyric is quite clever.

Although I am too young for its original release, I love Bridge Over Troubled Water. The lyrics make me cry every time. My hubby is my bridge and my rock and my security blanket all rolled up into one. But dont tell him I said that okay! ! ---

Hi Carole, I really like the line " i was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth" which is from Substitute by The Who But my absolute favourite is anything Nick Cave has ever said, the only tragedy is that I’m not married to him. BeckyX P.S When I just read whammel’s post I spat my drink out and nearly fell off my chair laughing, it was too funny when you’re not prepared for it!! ---

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour but heaven knows I’m miserable now. Bizarrely this always cheers me up! Love, love, love The Smiths. ---

thanks everybody for joining in whammel - i remember ernie very well simon and garfunkel are timeless. i love kathy’s song johnny cash “hurt” was brilliant and the video made me cry as for the smiths " i want to put my hand on your mammary gland" (sung by my son who was 17 at the time) i’m sure i’ll think of more when i’m not tipsy (its friday) and not tired carole x ---

I’m going to join in the Smiths appreciation fest with “I dreamt about you last night and I fell out of bed twice, you can pin and mount me like a butterfly” - Reel around the Fountain. I also like most of the Cure lyrics especially “dressed up to the eyes, its a wonderful surpise see your shoes and your spirits rise,” Friday I’m in love. Both bands take me back to my teenage years but I love them still. ---

> [@whammel](#): > > ERNIE (THE FASTEST MILKMAN IN THE WEST) > Benny Hill - 1971 I feel much the same about Victoria Wood’s ‘Lets Do It’ - “bend me over backwards on my hostess trolley” it always make me smile:D Also agree with all the comments about The Smiths. The Cure - I heard Boys Don’t Cry yesterday morning on the radio, good way to start the day 🙂 ---
