Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You?


For some reason, certain arrangements of basic parts of speech attached to pitch and cadence got themselves permanently attached to my (remaining) brain cells.  

What are your favs?

Here's my Top 3.

#1:

"Her teeth were like the stars above because they come out every night." Homer and Jethro, Live at the Country Club (Side one)

#2:

"They'll never forgot you, until somebody new comes along."  (I think you know this one)

#3:

@waytoomuchstuff ,

Another good one by Homer and Jethro:

Good one!!

Hey, y'all prepare yourself for the rubberband man
You've never heard a sound like the rubberband man
You're bound to lose control when the rubberband starts to jam

Th spinners

How can you just walk away from me?
When all I can do is watch you leave
'Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

Phil Collins
