What's your favorite lyric from a song?

What's your favorite lyric from a song?

What's your favorite lyric from a song?
@almarg I do not believe it was tongue in cheek. I always heard it as kiss the sky, but I had an excellent phono front end, and system, as I indicated. And not to mention, I, too, was kissing the sky back then. I know about the mondegreen theory. ...
