What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...
arthursmuck
Although not a big bowie fan -
"Don't lean on me man cause you can't afford the ticket"

and King Crimson's Epitaph:
"When everyman is torn apart,
with nightmares and with dreams,
will no one lay the laurel wreath
as silence drowns the screams..
Confusion will be my epitaph,
as I crawl a cracked and broken path,
if we make it, we can all sit back and laugh,
but I fear tomorrow I'll be crying"
Notorioous B.I.G. "..

..got the rotweilers by the door,
I feed 'em gunpowder,
so they can devour,
the criminals,
tryin to drop my decimals....
More Bob Dylan:
"For those who defend what they cannot see
With a killer's pride, security
It blows the mind most bitterly
For those that think death's honesty
Won't fall upon them naturally,
Life sometimes must get lonely."
"Dance me to the children who are waiting to be born"
Dance Me to the End of Love, by Leonard Cohen (whole song, really)

"Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now"
Dylan's My Back Pages (whole song, really)(Actually, whole corpus!)

"Michael from mountains
Go where you will go to
Know that I will know you
Someday, I may know you
Very well"
Joni Mitchell, Michael from Mountains
"But I could have told you, Vincent - This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you." -Don McLean, "Starry Starry Night"
