different song quote contest?

[Ufer]

Someone emailed me a MS Word document with approx. 200 1-line song quotes from 1970s songs and another of 1980s songs. If anyone is interested, I don't know how to upload....


Warning: these lists will drive you insane.

[fantastic flying froggies]

How 'bout copying and pasting one, or just a few, quote(s) a day ?

[Ufer]

Sure thing. I'll throw out 15-20 at a time b/c it works better in mass and my board frequency is not high:

5. And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree.

10. Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
11. We never got it off on that revolution stuff.
12. I have found with you like a rose under the April snow.
13. So he pawned all his hopes and he even sold his old car. Bought a one way ticket to the life he once knew.
14. You know she was a dancer. She moved better on wine.
15. Put out the fire and don’t look past my shoulder.
16. It's hard to leave when you can't find the door.
17. Holding hands, making all kinds of plans while the jukebox plays our favorite song.
18. I had to find the passage back to the place I was before.
19. You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do, and it's breaking my heart in two.
20. Keep your head together and call my name out loud.
