What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...
arthursmuck
I smoked my friends right down to the filter

Tom Waits  A little drop of poison 
...."I'll tell it to you straight
I got the mileage to show"...

53 years later it’s still:

Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky
With one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea
Circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate
Driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow
"Roland searched the continent for the man who did him in
He found him in Mombasa in a barroom drinking gin
Roland aimed his Thompson gun, he didn't say a word
But he blew Van Owen's body from there to Johannesburg."

-Warren Zevon
