What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...
arthursmuck
Every gambler knows the secret to surviving,
Is knowing what to throw away and knowing what to keep.
Cause every hand's a winner, and every hand's a loser,
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep.
Another that I like is from Janis Ian's "At Seventeen":

The small town eyes will gape at you
In dull surprise
When payment due
Exceeds accounts received
At seventeen
yes, it's no use saying that you don't know nothing
It's still gonna get you if don't do something
Sitting on a fence that's a dangerous course
Oh, you could even catch a bullet from the peace-keeping force Even the hero gets a bullet in the chest
Oh yeah, once upon a time in the west
by Dire Straits off "Communique"
...and dropping a barbell he points to the sky/ The sun's not yellow, it's chicken.
