What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...

A couple from the same song, Miriam - Norah Jones

Miriam
That's such a pretty name
I'm gonna say it when
I make you cry

Miriam
When you were having fun
In my big pretty house
Did you think twice

I know he said it's not your fault
But I don't believe that's true
I've punished him for being weak
Now I've saved the best for you

Oh Miriam
That's such a pretty name
And I'll keep sayin it
Until you die
"I always leave the bar room when is over. Not feelin any pain at closin time"

Merle Haggard. "Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down"
'You're the One for Me, Fatty'

and

'Girlfriend in a coma, I know I know - it's serious'

both by Morrissey.
just thought of a couple more:

'One Cup of Tea is Never Enough but two is One Too Many'

and

'I can’t go back to savoury… now'

both classics by John Shuttleworth
