What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...

"If I don't see you no more in this world, I'll meet you in the next one. Don't be late." Jimi Hendrix
Just heard another great one:
"We all get what we deserve/
Unfortunately" - John Doe, "Unforgiven"
For me it has to be the line from "I Wish I Were In Love Again" by Rodgers and Hart.

When love conceals it soon reveals,
The faint aroma of performing seals,
The double-crossing of a pair of heels,
I wish I were in love again.

Whenever I hear the double crossing of a pair of heels, I always think of a film noir detective story.

Sit beside the breakfast table
Think about your troubles
Pour yourself a cup of tea
And think about the bubbles
You can take your teardrops
And drop them in a teacup
Take them down to the riverside
And throw them over the side
To be swept up by a current
And taken to the ocean
To be eaten by some fishes
Who were eaten by some fishes
And swallowed by a whale
Who grew so old
He decomposed
He died and left his body
To the bottom of the ocean
Now everybody knows
That when a body decomposes
The basic elements
Are given back to the ocean
And the sea does what it oughta
And soon there's salty water
(That's not too good for drinking)
'Cause it tastes just like a teardrop
(So they run it through a filter)
And it comes out from a faucet
(And is poured into a teapot)
Which is just about to bubble
Now think about your troubles

Think About Your Troubles
