What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...
arthursmuck
Some people have it all, and some have it all to gain
Uncle Topelo / Graveyard Shift
I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you
Laughing in the purple rain

Purple Rain, by Prince
So, so many. But here's a couple to start with: 

'The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky 
Are also on the faces of people going by'

and this one from a great song by a great lyricist:

'You made me forget myself
I thought I was
Someone else, someone good'
"The policemen are hiding
behind the skirts of little girls,
their eyes have turned the color of frozen meat..
and no no no no no
no no no no no no no no..
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
Joan Crawford has risen from the grave"

"Joan Crawford Has Risen From The Grave"  Blue Oyster Cult
