 Re: Favourite Sentence - 2004/01/14 23:01 The first line of each & every verse in Jumble Sale.

In fact, any line, come to that. I could post one a day and still be doing it in Spring . . .

With a jaded eye, I eyed the faded piles of lumber
Of the jumble sale

Fair takes yer breath away, a bit . . .

 Re: Favourite Sentence - 2004/04/24 11:24 For laughter appeal - "she was sitting on me shoulder at the time" (Bantam Cock) works for me!
My other favourite is the line "and how e all looked up to see the curious face of the enemy, who was young and shabby and seemed to be about as foreign as you or me." Just when listeners are thinking of Jake as a sort of clown writer, remind them of his skill with one of his more poignant songs!

 Re: Favourite Sentence - 2004/06/16 10:07 I'm glad someone else likes 'Romance'...from that I offer one of the many lyrics which I love:

I dreamed she'd have a rose in her hair,
And she'd be softly plucking at a mandolin.
To tell you the truth, there wasn't a rose
And as a matter of fact, she was plucking her nose.

I will never forget the audience reaction to this when (in the front row at St Geroges Hall.....and he spoke to me personally!) I saw Jake sing this. There was a split-second moment of silence then an eruption of simultaneous joy....

 Re:Favourite Sentence - 2004/06/23 00:50 My favourite sentence of Jake's is surprisingly not in any of his songs! Am I going strange everyone asks? No...see what you think, I quite like it, I quite like it...the sentence is from his album Jake Thackray and Songs which covered his television series on the BBC in 1980 or 81 (which the BBC should show as a tribute to the genius of the man)...I digress. This was the sentence: it preceded the love song 'To Do With You'..."Romantic love...well it's easy...loving your children is easy...but married love, isn't...and you know?...it's the best kind, it's the best kind." Now, is that just a great line, or what?
