Song Quote Suggestions

[albummaster]

We've not voted any new song quotes since last August, and there's a fair number of new submissions since then, so I think we're due another round of voting! Anything that has been submitted since the last competition (post #2036 onwards) will be automatically up for vote, so no need to re-submit, and I encourage anyone else to submit their own favourites.

I'll paste below the 'rules' we've been using before:

Background:
At the top of every page on BEA, there is a line from a song which are nice to read, but after a while you've read them all. Post here your favourite quotes from songs, and we'll vote the best ones onto the site.

Rules:

• Lyrics should be no longer than 80 characters (one or two lines of a song) to fit in the site masthead. They should be credited to the original artist (no cover versions), must not contain profanity, and should be recognizable to the majority of visitors. This is what 80 characters looks like:
  
  12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
  
  
• The preferred format for your song quotes is on a single line as follows (the name of the song helps to verify the quote). It takes a long time to assemble all of your quotes for voting, so it would be very helpful if your submissions could be in this format:
  
  Quote - Artist (Song)
  
  e.g.
  Thinking is the best way to travel - The Moody Blues (The Best Way To Travel)
  And in the end, the love you take, Is equal to the love you make - The Beatles (The End)
  
  
• There is a maximum of 50 quotes per person (otherwise voting becomes unmanageable). If more than 50 quotes are submitted, only the first 50 will be put to vote.
  
  
• There's a list of existing quotes here which is pretty up to date. (I'll post a fresh one when time allows).
  
  
• After a week or so, we'll draw up a short-list and vote the best quotes onto the site.

N.B. All quotes submitted since the end of the last competition will automatically be included in the voting this time around (everything up until the post immediately preceding this one), so no need to re-submit them. Please do not modify existing posts prior to this date as submissions have already been collected. If you have any more quotes to add, please create a new post.
