What's your favorite lyric from a song?

But he was wrapped up in himself like an orange peel ..Hiatt

Hey Joe, Where're you goin' with that gun in your hand?"

Looking down on empty streets, all she can see
Are the dreams all made solid
Are the dreams all made real

All of the buildings, all of those cars
Were once just a dream
In somebody's head

Mercy Street by Peter Gabriel

dutchtexan,
That is a perfect example of why words without music often seem less significant. When I read these words, I thought "So what", they didn't have much special meaning to me. When I realized they were from Mercy Street, I almost had to laugh, because I love that song; but the words without the music and expressive singing seem very ordinary.

Poor Otis dead and gone
Left me here to sing his song
Pretty little girl with the red dress on
Poor Otis dead and gone

The Doors/Soft Parade
