What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...

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
Stones Some Girls...."English Girls are so prissy, I can't stand em on the telephone" and "American girls want everything you can possibly imagine!"

Hank Williams, Jr...."I'm into happy and I don't like sad"

Doors..."Woke up this morning and got myself a beeeeaaaa!!!

and more Stones..."My best friend he shoots water rats and feeds em to his geese!
"now your alone and i know why,ain't that mud in your eye."nils lofgren...

Alright...

Since I saw a Biggie Smalls lyric quote earlier, I have to include one from Nelly:

"and I got so many keys you think I'm valet parkin'."

And how about one more from Biggie, just to tie it all together:

"escargot / my car go / one-sixtee, swiftlee"

Hey, what can I say...I listen to primarily symphonic music...Not many lyrics in that genre! :)
