Eagles similes and metaphors

"Half the distance takes you twice as long" from After The Thrill Is Gone.

My other favorites have already been mentioned.

How about "his jacuzzi runneth over" as an example of an excess of luxury? Would it also count as a parody?

This is my own take on Take It Easy and I'm not sure others think, but I'd always thought the 'seven women on my mind' referred to the days of the week...

Interesting. Could be a double meaning there. I prefer the literal interpretation... except for the two with the rocks!

Indeed I was kind of working on 'four they wanna hold me' - Mon-Thu at work; 'two they wanna stone me' - Fri-Sat relax and have a good time (perhaps literally stoning ; 'one says she's a friend of mine' - Sunday recovering from the previous two! It's a bit sketchy and not 100% convincing but it kinda fits.

Waiting in the Weeds is full of 'something' but I haven't gotten my head wrapped around just what yet!

"and he's the darling of the chic
the flavor of the week is melting
down your pretty summer dress
baby, what a mess your making"

and

A small gray spider spinning in the dark
In spite of all the times the web is torn apart

Are these one of what your talking about, or both?

This song just boggles my mind when I think about it! I love it!

'But some nights, oh she looks like an angel' from Hollywood Waltz. Always really liked that line for some reason.

[Keith]

"I'd like to find your inner child and kick its little ass!"

[WalshFan88]

Hahaha I love that one too!!! That song is full of great lines.

Have been listening to Expando lately, cherishing both Timothy's music and lyrics. Some gems:

"Let's go look for hidden treasure, I wanna dig it up while the moon is bright"

"Roll that big world right off your shoulders"

"When you’re stuck in overdrive and you’re longing for home
It's time to change your altitude and open up your parachute"

"If you could read my mind, would you be able to see where I hide?"

Love it.

"Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy."
