What's your favorite lyric from a song?

slaw, I listened to that Lucinda song just last night. The way she sings "Oh my baby" is SO lascivious! It leaves no doubt what she is implying ;-) .

@bdp24 ,

Just reading your response upon hearing LW sing, gives me chills. She’s a superb songwriter!! and interpreter of those songs.

"Here comes the helicopter
second time today
everybody scatters and hopes it goes away,
how many kids they murdered
only God can say

(if I had a rocket launcher....I'd make somebody pay)

I don't believe in guarded borders
and I don't believe in hate
I don't believe in generals
or their stinking tortured states
and when I talk with the survivors
of things too sickening to relate

(if I had a rocket launcher...I would retaliate)

on the rio lacant'un
one hundred thousand wait
to fall down from starvation
or some less human fate
cry for Guatemala
with a corpse in every gate

(if I had a rocket launcher...I would not hesitate)

I want to raise every voice
at least I've got to try
every time I think about it
water rises to my eyes
situation desperate
echoes of the victims' cry

(if I had a rocket launcher...some son of a bitch would die)

"If I Had A Rocket Launcher"  Bruce Cockburn

"standing on the corner
with a suitcase in my hand"

(nuff said)..this states in very few words, so many thoughts a listener will have. A perfect line to start a song!

"Sweet Jane"
