What's your favorite lyric from a song?

"In a morning from a Bogart movie, in a country were they turned back time, you go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre contemplating a crime
She comes out of the sun with a silk dress running like a watercolor in the rain..."

Al Stewart, "Year of the Cat"

Wish I was a Kellog's cornflake, floating in my bowl taking movies,
Relaxing a while, living in style
Talking with a raisin who occasionaly plays LA, casualy glancing at his taupee

Wish I was an English muffin, bout to make the most out of a toaster
Ease myself down, coming up brown,
I prefer the boysenberry more than any other jam, I'm a citizen for boysenberry jam fan..."

Punkey's Dilemma, from Simon and Garfunkel Bookends

Come to think of it. Always lover this:
(Michael Franks, Antonio's Song)

Antonio lives life's frevo
Antonio prays for truth
Antonio says our friendship
Is a hundred-proof
The vulture that circles Rio
Hangs in this L.A. sky
The blankets they give the Indians
Only make them die

But sing the Song
Forgotten for so long
And let the Music flow
Like Light into the Rainbow
We know the Dance, we have
We still have the chance
To break these chains and flow
Like Light into the Rainbow

Antonio loves the desert
Antonio prays for rain
Antonio knows that Pleasure
Is the child of Pain
And lost in La Califusa
When most of my hope was gone
Antonio's samba led me
To the Amazon

We sing the Song
Forgotten for so long
And let the music flow
Like Light into the Rainbow
We know the Dance, we have
We still have the chance
To break these chains and flow
Like Light into the Rainbow.

I really don't mind if you sit this one out.
My word's but a whisper--your deafness a SHOUT!
I may make you feel, but I can't make you think....

--opening to Jethro Tull's Thick as a Brick

One of many wonderful moments penned by Ian Anderson. Probably my favorite all time lyric, but others are in the running.

The highway is for gamblers, you better use your sense.
