"Hope...is like a lighthouse keeper's beam,
Hope...the master cobbler of our dreams.

For Hope believes in desert streams
The mightiest of stars, the microcosm in a jar,
Vast or small they all revolve on Hope."

The only trouble with this tread is that it's too easy to look the lyrics up.

Ali.
Title: Re: Name the lyric
Post by: mikearace on December 18, 2011, 10:22:21 pm
Well Ive not tried to look any up.  Product of a sad anorak existence quoting them and film script extracts to a workmate for more years that I care to remember.   
Title: Re: Name the lyric

Maybe the hard part is not answering but is coming up with a good lyric to post when you do answer?
But yes, better if people don't look them up.

My daughter has been suggesting Slipknot lyrics - but I can't understand a word they scream, far less spell it.
For those who haven't heard them - I really wish I was you.

A lot of lyrics don't scan, are illiterate or appear to have been influenced by the ingestion of exotic substances...

No idea at the moment - any chance of another line?

.............. and just for Colin

Who hath desired the Sea? Her menaces swift as her mercies?
 The in-rolling walls of the fog and the silver-winged breeze that disperses?
 The unstable mined berg going South and the calvings and groans that declare it –
 White water half-guessed overside and the moon breaking timely to bare it –
 His Sea as his fathers have dared — his Sea as his children shall dare it:
 His Sea as she serves him or kills?
 So and no otherwise — so and no otherwise — hillmen desire their Hills.
