What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...
arthursmuck

Blood rack barbed wire
Polititians' funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
Twenty first century schizoid man

King Crimson- 21st Century Schizoid manĀ

kavakat1,

I hate to rain on your parade, but I believe those lyrics are from the song "Sam Stone" written by John Prine.
I could never change
Just what I feel
My face will never show
What is not real
Clean this mess up or we'll all end up in jail. The test tubes and the scale get it all out of here. Is there gas in the car? Yes, there's gas in the car. I think the people down the hall know who you are....

Steeley Dan " Kid Charlemagne"
"Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried"

Haunting lyric from Famous Blue Raincoat by Leonard Cohen.
