     The idea is to post a line or lines from a song, and see if anyone can identify the lyrics.  Here's one that should be easy:

     "And the meek shall inherit the earth"

     Here's one that is not so easy...

     They say that lifes a carousel
     Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well
     The world is full of Kings and Queens
     Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
     Its heaven and hell, oh well
     And theyll tell you black is really white
     The moon is just the sun at night
     And when you walk in golden halls
     You get to keep the gold that falls
     Its heaven and hell, oh no!

not easy unless you like black sabbath....

Does it continue 'The savage and honest are dead'? I think it's called 'All the Good Times are Passed and Gone' - don't know who wrote it.

 

How about 'There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plough'?

The first comes from 2112, Rush and the second is Heaven and Hell, Black Sabbath. I suspect the first one occurs in a few other places as well.

My current favourite:

May I make my fond excuses
for the lateness of the hour,
but we accept your invitation, and we bring you Beltane's flower.
For the May Day is the great day, sung along the old straight track.
And those who ancient lines did lay
will heed the song that calls them back.
Pass the word and pass the lady, pass the plate to all who hunger.
Pass the wit of ancient wisdom, pass the cup of crimson wonder.


Jethro Tull, Cup of Wonder

Hey there, people, I'm Bobby Brown
They say Im the cutest boy in town.
My car is fast, my teeth is shiney,
I tell all the girls they can kiss my heinie.
Here I am at a famous school,
I'm dressin' sharp and I'm
Acting cool.
I got a cheerleader here wants to help with my paper,
Let her do all the work n maybe later Ill rape her

"They say in chess you've got to kill the queen and then you made it.
Oh I, do you
A funny thing, the king who gets himself assassinated.
Hey now, every time I lose"

 

Same as Tonydal, a song I like and applicable to the site.

And one more (always one of my favorites--and thematic for this site as well!):

 

The rivers are full of crocodile nasties
and He who made kittens put snakes in the grass. He's
a lover of life but a player of pawns ---
yes, the King in His sunset lies waiting for dawn
to light up His jungle as play is resumed.
The monkeys seem willing to strike up the tune.

Or this one:

 

I wanna be the very best, that noone ever was. To catch them is my way to test; to train them is my cause... I will travel across the land, searching far and wide...

 

the most famous song from the late 1900's  =P

Sounds a bit like the Undertones to me? "Here comes the Summer"?
