There's nothing colder than goodbye(Bobby Paris-l Walked Away)

I know its nothing to do with soul music but

the eagles? "I was travelling down the road trying to loosen my load" makes me howl every time

"Oooh baby lets not waste this precious time, lets take a trip to paradise and leave the world behind"

Bobby Reed - "The time is right for love".

Just about every line from "Cashin' In"

however modified for Soul-Sourcers I choose this one

"When I found you had opened my record box, that was the last straw, I can't take it no more"

Rob

...Writing all the bad cheques you can't cover, but slow down cos the money's gittin tight!

oh and...

"...I had my eyes wide open from the start, and girl you never lied to me and the part they'll never never see is the part that you showed me... its the part that you showed me..." Four Tops - Do What You Gotta Do. Tho' would it have sounded the same without Levi's glorious vocals...?

Possible contender for best song title "Ain't Gonna Bump No More (With No Big Fat Woman) - Joe Tex

"If I was a Pony, Would You Ride Me?"

Wanda Rouzan - Would You Love Me - Frisco

It has to be The Deadbeats-No Second Chance, "Who do you think you are, you get no second chance!" I think thats the line i used on my ex husband!

Man, you'd make a blind man wanna do that.................

"I,ve had a little, and I,ve had less" Don Gardner "We,re gonna make it" talk about feeling sorry for ones self also BB King "Nobody loves me but my mother, and she could be jiving to" talk about paranoid.

TOO LATE- WILLIAMS AND WATSON. top tune, you beat me to that one, my favourite bit is

"dont need know woman to help me starve to death-"

Better with it all.

..."Anyway, I can live cheaper by myself, dont need no woman to help me starve to death"...

Not lovey dovey.. does just what it says on the tin... its pure class but please dont tell the wife!!

Yep this is a brill thread, hope it goes on for ages. There are loads of brilliant lines to be used

for me the opening line from a wigan tune mid 70s,"i cant deny we were dancing close together to close it seems to be talking about the weather",yvonne baker,still sounds great to me after all these years,

She was so beautiful, like flowers full bloom in May

Her kiss was like the roaring wind, it left me speachless, nothing to say...

I loved and I lost

It always gets me - to think if someone wrote that about me how chuffed I would feel. Fabulous.

(I hope I got the lyrics right as it wouldn't be the first time I was singing the wrong words!)

Heard said in many a tune... "You've got my nose wide open".

"You've been looking at me,like I'm something you wanna try"..Jimmy Beaumont.

"Hi babe,it's me and I'm on my way... what! man if I don't ever see you again it'll be too soon,you stayed away too long,I'm packed.

If you listen to "Mr Soul Satisfaction" by the legend that is Mr Timmy Willis, is what we ever wanted to be to the girls,in fact he's so bad he should've been born twins,

Good god y'all.

"Without your love i cant go on ... its another day but the same old song "

Another $2 room that's never seen a broom,

A neon sign reflecting on my ceiling

In all my days I can't recall ever having such a lonely feeling

But I can't stop now got to find her somehow....

 

Got a crumpled dollar bill to buy myself a meal

I haven't had a bite all afternoon

So I'll direct my feet down some lonely street

'till I find myself the cheapest greasy spoon

And it looks like, it feels like, it's got the earmarks, woe yeah, it's just another heartbreak for me.

Oh baby I should write a letter, but what words would I choose, there's a chance you might accept me, but there's that chance you might refuse.

An actor's life is not for me, but I play the part so well,

though my heart is broken down inside, no one can ever tell,

they look at me, but they don't see this sad but lonely clown (now baby),

if they took a closer look, they'd see the smile was upside down,

if they could turn me over, their gonna see,

there's really two sides of me,

and I hurt all on the other side.........

Sheer poetry!

Written by Sidney Barnes and co help (JJ Jackson?), my favourite record ever, and it also promoted the next stage, ie from Torch to Casino, it was the missing link between the two that kept the scene moving forward (imo).

Wonder what records do that nowadays, food for thought perhaps.

Great choice Steve. I've must have heard this song a thousand times, but every now and again it still has the power to bring tears to my eyes. 

"Tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high , tore my mind on a jagged sky .... "

 

"She makes my life a heavy load , a long and crooked road ... "

Hey I thought that we could remain friends, but you and I cant even be strangers again..................

 

(and every other line in the song too)

 

After All - Sam Dee's

 

....................pass me a razor blade

Im gonna walk away from love, before love breaks my heart..................

 

Walk away from Love- David Ruffin

 

Better pass me a packet of razor blades, I got it bad today!!

Inky Winky Wang Dang Do.

Just a minute ago your love was here
All of a sudden it seemed to disappear
Sweetness was only heartache's camouflage
The love I saw in you was just a mirage

I'm So Bad I Should Have Been Born Twins O Yay -

Mr Soul Satification - Timmy Willis

But why should I tell you? Its not your concern

You win some you lose some, I've lost and I've learned

Its just that I'm so lonely with no place to turn

And here at the end I find

 

The Love we had stays on my mind

Wrote to perfection from start to finish,

 

(A man aint born to life, just to die one day, just to turn to dust & be blown away, 

Don`t let the world beat you, Don't throw down your hopes & run,

for no matter how grey the sky is today you had your place in the sun,

A man`s much more than a grain of sand,)

"Walk right on in,let your love come running in".....

Its not one line I know... but the last few lines of the The Drifter - Ray Pollard is just out of this world, as is the whole of the song as a matter of fact!

The end is the part of the tune that i reckon reaches its highest emotional intensity, if you dont feel a little of the gut wrenching emotions from it then you certainly ain't human!

 

"oohh I'm just a drifter I go from town to town, I'm just a drifter but I wasnt always down,

cos once i had a girl by my side, a love so strong that money couldnt buy no, no, no

but heaven called and took her away, out of my arms and left me to wander..."

 

 

All the lyrics to the whole song just get to me everytime, always has done...sheer emotion...
