What's your favorite lyric from a song?

You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you just might find, you get what you need.

Rolling Stones

The lyric for Golden Slumber is from a 17th cent. poem by Thomas Dekker
McCartney saw a song in his sister's songbook and made up his own version

Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,
Smiles awake you when you rise;
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby,
Rock them, rock them, lullaby.
Care is heavy, therefore sleep you,
You are care, and care must keep you ;
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby,
Rock them, rock them, lullaby.

"'My daddy was no jockey, but he taught me how to ride" Kansas City David Bromberg version

"You must be a millionaire's daughter
I can tell by the way you walk..."
Mississippi Fred McDowell

"No one came from miles around
And said "Man, who's he?"".
Deep Purple
