What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...

Two lines come to mind. The first is from Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon:

"Far away, across the field,
The tolling of the iron bell,
Calls the faithful to their knees,
To hear the softly spoken, magic spell".

Later, Paul Simon came into the picture with this, from Hearts and Bones:

"What is the point of this story,
What information pertains,
The thought that life could be better,
Is woven indelibly,
Into our hearts,
And our brains".

Kinda hard to tell which one's my favorite. I'll flip on it.
Blind Faith - "Presence of the Lord"

I have finally found a way to live
Just like I never could before
I know that I don't have much to give
But I can open any door

Everybody knows the secret
Everybody knows the score
I have finally found a way to live
In the color of the Lord

I have finally found a place to live
Just like I never could before
And I know I don't have much to give
But soon I'll open any door

Everybody knows the secret
Everybody knows the score
I have finally found a place to live
In the presence of the Lord
In the presence of the Lord

I have finally found a way to live
Just like I never could before
And I know I don't have much to give
But I can open any door

Everybody knows the secret
I said everybody knows the score
I have finally found a way to live
In the color of the Lord
In the color of the Lord
And I only know one party and its name is freedom I am a patriot - Little Steven
"you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows" - Bob Dylan. Heck, I have even used that lyric in legal briefs describing what I think of the other side's expert witness.
