What's your favorite lyric from a song?

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

I am slow to move these feet of clay
you passed me by
now you are in my way
I take my change at my own damn pace
I will move along one day

"When I grow up
I wanna be stable" by Garbage, first album, forgot which song.

on the lighter side . . .
"See the little faggot with the earing and the makeup
Yeah buddy that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he's a millionaire"

from Dire Straits - "Money for Nothing"

and more serious . . .

"I saw a pearl of wisdom
in the spirit of a man,
as he saved the day he lost.

Time will say I told you so
if we look back in regret.
Never give a day away.
It won't return the same again.

Nothing can last
there are no second chances.
Never give a day away.
Always live for today."

- "For Today" by Camel. off of "A Nod and a Wink"
