Lines from songs. Emotional, funny, curious etc etc.


And you know you gotta go
On that train from Dublin up to Sandy Row
Throwing pennies at the bridges down below
In the rain, hail, sleet, and snow

Madame George - Van Morrison


Cinderella’s Prince: Did you learn her name?
Rapunzel’s Prince: No, there’s a dwarf standing guard.
Both: Agony! Such that princes must weep!
Always in thrall most
To anything almost,
Or something asleep.
CP: If it were not for the thicket–
RP: A thicket’s no trick. Is it thick?
CP: It’s the thickest.
RP: The quickest is pick it apart with a stick–
CP: Yes, but even one prick–
It’s my thing about blood.
RP: Well, it’s sick!
CP: It’s no sicker than your thing with dwarves.
RP: Dwarves.
CP: Dwarves…
RP: Dwarves are very upsetting.

Agony (Reprise) - Stephen Sondheim


There is a girl in New York City who calls herself the human trampoline
And sometimes when I’m falling, flying or tumbling in turmoil I say
“Whoa, so this is what she means”

Graceland - Paul Simon
