"The average unmarried female, basically insecure, due to some long frustration may react, with psychosomatic symptoms, difficult to endure, affecting the upper resperatory tract.

In other words, just from waiting around for that plain little band of gold, a person can develop a cold."

That was the weirdest lyric ever from GUYS AND DOLLS. My favorite is in my signature.

This has to definitely be my favorite from "Rent" and one of my favs of all time. I just can't think of other ones off the top of my head. This is a fun post!

"Life's too short baby, time is flyin'. I'm looking for baggage that goes with mine."

Is that a dumb favorite lyric? For some reason it really had an impact on me when I saw Mimi sing it for the first time.

I think my favorite so far is "No day but today" from rent. It is my fav because it has meaning and i can definatly relate to it.

From RENT:
"Forget regret, or life is yours to miss."
"I can't control my destiny. I trust my soul, my only goal is just to be..."
"No day but today"
"Dorothy and Toto went over the rainbow to blow of Auntie Em"
"I didn't recognize you without the handcuffs"

From TTB:
"Cages or Wings, which do you prefer? Ask the birds."

From Godspell:
"The tallest candlestick aint much good without a wick."

From Cats:
"Do I actually see with my own very eyes a man who's not heard of a Jellicle cat?"

"It's a rip in the bustle and a rustle in the hay and I'll pitch the Quick Fantastic, with flings of confetti and my petticoats away up high. It's a very short way from the fling that's for fun to the thigh-pressing under the table. It's a very short day til you're stuck with just one or it has to be done on the sly. In the meanwhile, there are mouths to be kissed before mouths to be fed, and there's many a tryst and there's many a bed. There's a lot I'll have missed but I'll not have been dead when I die. And a person should celebrate everything passing by."

"Too many people muddle sex with mere desire. And when emotion intervenes, the nets descend. It should on no account perplex, or worse, inspire. It's but a pleasurable means to a measurable end. Why does no one comprehend? Let us hope this lunacy is just a trend."

Here's a real oldie - the song is "Speak Low" from "One Touch of Venus" - music by Kurt Weill, lyrics by the brilliant poet Ogden Nash:

Time is so old, and love so brief
Love is pure gold, and time a thief

Some are Broadway lyrics, some are other lyrics.....


If in Heaven you don't excel, you can always wander down in Hell.
~ The Wild Party

In a very unusual way I think I'm in love with you, in a very unusual way I want to cry. Something inside me goes weak, something inside me surrenders, and you're the reason why, you're the reason why! You don't know what you do to me, you don't have a clue. You can't tell what it's like to be me looking at you. It scares me so that I can hardly speak.
~Unusual Way, NINE

You are all I ever want, but this I am denied. Sometimes in my darkest thoughts I wish I never learned what it is to be in love and have that love returned.
~Written in the Stars, AIDA

We want a lady in the street but a freak in the bed!
~Yeah!, Usher Lil John and Ludacris

I could be his life companion anywhere but where we are. Am I a leader? Am I a traitor? Did I take a step too far? Did I take a step too far?
~A Step Too Far, AIDA

In his eyes, I can see where my heart longs to be. In his eyes I see a gentle glow and in that's where I'll be safe I know
~In His Eyes

When you cried I'd wipe away all your tears. When you screamed I'd fight away all your fears. And I held your hand through all these years but you still have all of me
~My Immortal, Evanesence

It's something unpredictable but in the end is right. I hope you have the time of your life
~Time of Your Life, Greenday

The trouble with love is it can tear you up inside, make your heart believe a lie, it's stronger than your pride. The trouble with love is it doesn't care how fast you fall and you can't refuse the call -- see you've got no say at all.
~The Trouble with Love, Kelly Clarkson

I'm sorry for everything I said, and for anything I forgot to say too. When things get so complicated, I stumble and at best, muddle through. I wish that our lives could be simple. I don't want the world - only you. Oh I wish I could tell you this face to face. But there's never the time - never the place. So this letter will have to do. I love you.
~Radames Letter, AIDA

Smile, though your heart is aching, smile, even though it's breaking! When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by! If you smile through your fear an sorrow, smile and maybe tomorrow, you'll see the sun come shining through for you!
~Smile

Cages or wings which do you prefer? Ask the birds. Fear or love baby? Don't say the answer - actions speak louder than words.
~Louder Than Words, TTB

Just a thought, I don't know RENT as well as I should buuuuuut, was it Maureen (Idina Menzel) who sang "Why Dorothy and Toto went over the Rainbow to blow off Auntie Em" ???

If so that is soo funny...but it was Mimi, wasn't it..
