What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...

Here's a nice early 60s lyric from one of the greatest talents of that era - Lionel Bart 

I've seen places, faces
And smiled for a moment
But, oh, you haunted me so
Still, my tongue tied, young pride
Would not let my love for you show
In case you'd say "No"

Just beautiful.

Barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a Dodge
drinking warm beer in a soft summer rain

Reminds me of my teenage years.
"I drink a little too much
it makes me nervous
I've got my grandfather's blood
I take a little too much
without giving back
If blessed are the meek then I'm cursed
here I stand
on the edge of the ledges I've made"

Noah Gundersen  "Ledges"
"one foot in the grave
one foot on the pedal'
I was born a rebel"

Tom Petty "Rebels"
Not a huge Billy Joel fan but I always liked this line 
" and the waitress is practicing politics as the businessmen slowly get stoned"
