What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...
arthursmuck
I wish I was a headlight on a northbound train.
I'd shine my light through the cool Colorado rain.

I don't know what this means, but it's like religion every time I hear it!
Cold iron shackles and ball and chain.
Listen to the whistle of the evening train.

ok one more...

Gone are the broken eyes we saw through in dreams.
Gone both, dream and lie.

ok that's it. I promise!
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.

The whole song is maybe the most psychedelic vision I've ever heard. Can you hear a vision? I guess you can if John Lennon wrote it!
I recently found this one, on the subject of (ruefully) growing older. Transcribed as best as I can decipher:

I'd say that time is on a rude crusade
taking all that I'm annually owed
my ration of days
grows painfully shy
the rain
cannot turn the other way
one day
turns a skip into a sway

Oh, and by the way, Happy Birthday

from "Happy Birthday, Baby" by Elbow Bones and The Racketeers (AKA Kid Creole)
