What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...

I met her on Sunday twas my lucky bun day, that's what I said.

The thicker the waste band the deeper the quicksand or so I have read.

Need I go on?
1. Paranoia Strikes Deep - Into Your Life It Will Creep - From For What It's Worth
2. I Am Not Dreaming - from Suite : Judy Blue Eyes
3. Breathe Deep the Gathering Gloom - from Nights In White Satin
And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time,
till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home.
Oh no, no, no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone.

Bernie Taupin/Elton John-1972

An absolute classic.
To quote from only part of my favorite lyricist's song:

Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Bob's still going strong.
