What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...
arthursmuck
Here's a few I keep with me all the time.

We sail our icecats on the frozen river
Some loser fires off a flare, amen
For seven seconds it’s like Christmas day
And then it’s dark again

Donald Fagen, "Snowbound"

And I'll keep on trying
Till I tie a string around that moon
And in the morning
Then it could be your balloon

Kami Lyle, "Stay with You" on Manu Katche's Third Round
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that have been chewing my ass out all day long ... Vince Gill
And all the creatures
Born of ink and rage and lies
Run from my pen
And crawl across the page to die
Fascination is the germ of their disease
Degradation is the term of their release

By Bill Nelson of Be Bop Deluxe
