I keep a close eye on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the (something something) for the tie that binds
Because you're mine
I walk the line

I drew a city
With a big skyscraper,
A plane in the sky,
and it started on the paper with a
Line, line,
Circle, circle,
Square, square, square, square,
Triangle, triangle...

Send me a postcard,
Drop me a line
Stating point of view
Indicate exactly what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away

(Lennon/McCartney, "When I'm 64")

And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line

One toke over the line

Straight off the front line

Just ain't what they really want

Margaret said...

I'm one step ahead of the shoe shine
Two steps away from the county line
Just trying to keep the customer satisfied
Satisfied

Sarah said...

And the white line getting longer
and the saddles getting cold
I'm much too young to feel this damned old

Yesterday it was my birthday
I hung one more year on the line
I should be depressed
My life's a mess
But I'm having a good time

Hold the line

I go to coney, the beach is divine
I go to ballgames, the bleachers are fine
I find a winchell(?), and read every line
That's why the lady is a tramp

Rogers and Hart

Margaret: "Winchell" refers to Walter Winchell, who was THE society/gossip columnist in NYC. His column was as much of a must-read as People magazine or Page Six of the current New York Post. Another great example of Lorenz Hart writing lyrics that were timely and topical, as well as funny!

Good times and bum times
I've seen it all and my dear
I'm still here
I've stood on bread lines with the best
Watched while the headlines did the rest
In the depression, was I depressed?
No, my dear
I met a big financier
And I'm here

(Stephen Sondheim)

Meghan said...

Ooh white lines.
Vision dreams of passion.
Blowin' through my mind.
And all the while I think of you.

OOh a twofer:

The Rock Island line is a mighty fine line
Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island line

An old-timey/bluegrass thing

Along came the FFV
The swiftest on the line

Draggin' the line

They told Marconi
Wireless was a phony
It's the same old line

They laughed at me wanting you
Said I was reaching for the moon

"They all laughed" (fred astaire movie)

Margaret said...

I know I said I'd make you mine
Who'd a thought that you would fall for that old line

Fred Astaire sings it in Royal Wedding
