What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...
arthursmuck
Now that I have found you
would you object to
never seeing each other again
cause I cant afford to
climb aboard you
no-one has that much ego to spare
I am not much of rocker these days; but my favorite always has been:

Show me, show me, show me
How you do that trick
The one that makes me scream, she said
The one that makes me laugh, she said
And threw her arms around my head
Show me how you do it
And I promise you, I promise that
I'll run away with you

The Cure, Just Like Heaven
The White City - I finally grew up
To resist the temptation the gutters all threw up
But I have to go back - I guess I'm violence prone
To remember the White City fighting (yeah)
Maybe life is just put on for show
Oh but it's the only show in town
And it don't cost a nickel to get in
Oh but you'll pay dear to hang around

"The Only Show In Town" by Jesse Winchester
Let The Rough Side Drag (1976)
Man, I second that Hendrix response - "Castles Made of Sand". Been listening to it for over 35 years and still gives me chills.

"Cops in cars, the topless bars...never saw a woman so alone." 'LA Woman' - The Doors

"And the sun came in like butterscotch and stuck to all my senses,
oh won't you stay and we'll put on the day and we'll talk in present tenses." 'Chelsea Morning' - Joni Mitchell

The entire 'Maggie's Farm' - Dylan
