Single Lines

Awesome line.

I don’t know where this one comes from - maybe from nowhere. “Green eyes, black dress, and I think you know the rest…”

I can’t find it anywhere, I can’t even find lyrics that exactly match: “Green eyes, black dress,” although, it works with the tune from Escape Club’s, “Wild Wild West,” but there was no lyric in that song even close to that.

Green eyes,
Black dress,
I think you know the rest

“Forty seven
Deadbeats
Livin’ on a back street” Escape Club-“Wild Wild West”

New Additions:

“We go undiscovered 'cause people are careless, but one way or another they’ll never forget us.” Duran Duran- “Playing With Uranium”

“'Cause eternity, my friend, is a long fucking time.” Bad Religion-“You”

Yeah, Pav. I seem to remember it as a line I was going to use as the first line in a song. Sort of a fast blues/boogie. But I probably just heard it somewhere.
