What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...
arthursmuck
"Before you slip into unconciousness, let me steal one more kiss, before you fade away...." The Doors "Crystal Ships'

also:
"I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer...."

"If I ventured in the slipstream
Between the viaducts of your dream
Where immobile steel rims crack
And the ditch in the back roads stop
Could you find me?
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
To lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again"

Beginning of Astral Weeks. Van Morrison
They put a sign up in our town,
If you live it up, you won't live it down,
So she left monte Rio son,
Just like a bullet leaves a gun.

Tom Waits, hold on.
Maxnewid,
The Crystal Ship (singular) is a good song, but the lyric actually reads:
"Before you slip into unconciousness, I'd like to have another kiss."
"Before you fade away" isn't in there at all.
Good choice though.
Roxy54-
You are probabaly right. However, my version sounds pretty good when I sing it in the shower channeling Jim Morrison as much as possible!
