Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You?

Good one!!

And, who can forget Hart Brake Motel?

"I walked up to the room clerk.
He looked at me and said,
"You can have a room, but you will have to make your bed."

I said, "That's OK, buddy. 
I learned that from my ma."
Then he reached out and handed me a hammer and a saw."

She'll tell you she's an orphan,

after you meet her family.

The Black Crowes - She Talks to Angels

The vagabond who's rapping at your door,

is standing in the clothes that you once wore.

Strike another match, go start anew,

and it's all over now, Baby Blue.

Bonnie Ratt...I can't make you love if you don't....

Many of these are based on age so here are mine in no particular order

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

Essentially a spoken word poem, but I'm partial to Gil-Scott Heron's activist work Whitey on the Moon

A rat done bit my sister Nell.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Her face and arms began to swell.
(and Whitey's on the moon)
I can't pay no doctor bills.
(but Whitey's on the moon)
Ten years from now I'll be payin' still
While Whitey's on the moon.
You know, the man jus' upped my rent las' night,
'cause Whitey's on the moon.
No hot water, no toilets, no lights,
but Whitey's on the moon.
I wonder why he's uppi' me?
'cause Whitey's on the moon?
Well I wuz already givin' 'im fifty a week
And now Whitey's on the moon.
Taxes takin' my whole damn check,
The junkies make me a nervous wreck,
The price of food is goin' up,
An' as if all that crap wuzn't enough,
A rat done bit my sister Nell.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Her face an' arms began to swell
And Whitey's on the moon.
Was all that money I made las' year
For Whitey on the moon?
How come I ain't got no money here?
Hmm! Whitey's on the moon.
Y'know I jus' about had my fill
Of Whitey on the moon.
I think I'll sen' these doctor bills,
Airmail special

To Whitey on the moon
