What's your favorite lyric from a song?

He hears the ticking of the clocks
And walks along with a parrot that talks
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailers all come in
Maybe she'll pick him out again how long must he wait
One more time for a simple twist of fate.

...and now I'm prayin' for the end of time
So hurry up man alive
'cause if I have to spend another minute with you
I don't know
That I could really survive.....

rusty strings on my old guitar speaks volumes of who you are...

Recently best opening line:
-I don't mind
if my heart don't beat and the sun don't shine.-
Brandi Carlile "Losing Heart"

-I thought I saw the devil
in the branches of a tree
It was just imagination
But he looked a lot like me
On Stormy Down
The cold moon drew strange faces
on a slowly changing cloud
It looked like God the father
and I shouted right out loud
On Stormy Down-
The Strawbs "Stormy Down"

-You can leave your troubles at the door
we have ways to make you cheer
As long as you're not sick or poor
a negro or a queer-
Pete Sinfield for PFM "Is My Face on Straight?"

Just a couple that popped into my head.
Don't get me started, there is an embarrassment of wealth in even pop lyrics.

Lenny,

A great lyric but I'm pretty sure it's:

So now I'm praying for the end of time,
to hurry up and arrive.

Either way,it's a pretty funny line.
