What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...

I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do

But if I did, I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Oh, not to touch a hair on your head
Leave you as you are

If he felt he had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms

Into My Arms
Nick Cave

A truly beautiful song.
A little green rosetta
A tiny green rosetta
You'll make a muffin really betta

F. Zappa
Do You Believe in the Westworld?
Theatre of Hate


The yellow sun was setting in tombstone
The citizen ......

By a freak a coin in the piano made it play
But only the wind and the dust heard it say
Do you believe in the Westworld?
Do you believe in the Westworld?

From the south on a wind in walked a cowboy
The saloon was dry but his guns were well oiled
Somehow he remembered when he kissed his wife
And when he said goodbye
But that was before the circus with the bear arrived
Oh the bear it roared as the gun was fired
Then the cowboy turned the gun on himself as he sang
"No-ones alive"
Do you believe in the Westworld?
Do you believe in the Westworld?


I wonder whether Kirk Brandon's newly arriving circus would feature a giant panda if written or sung today?
