What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...
arthursmuck
War's good business
Invest your son
But I'd rather have my country die for me

Jefferson Airplane
Okay...just one more:

"You can hide 'neath your covers and study your pain.
Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain.
Waste your summer prayin' in vain for a savior to rise from these streets."
You lose yourself, you reappear
You suddenly find you got nothing to fear
Alone you stand with nobody near
When a trembling distant voice, unclear
Startles your sleeping ears to hear
That somebody thinks
They really found you.
I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life
I really don't know life at all

Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell - 1967
