What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...

"Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried"

Haunting lyric from Famous Blue Raincoat by Leonard Cohen.
"...and you know that you're over the hill
when your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill...".  Little Feat - "Old Folks Boogie"

"...if you were a pill I'd take a handful at my will and knock you back with something sweet and strong...". The Replacements -  "Valentine"

..."they got rats on the west side, bed bugs uptown...". The Rolling Stones - "Shattered" 

...she was sharp as a razor, soft as a prayer..."
Tom Waits - "Bad Liver And A Broken Heart"

Just a few of the gems revisited during the weekend.

Next weekend?  Alice's Restaurant and The Last Waltz on infinite rotation for a day. 
Following day is Christmas tree hunting with a healthy dose of Vince Guaraldi's now timeless soundtrack in the background.  

Enjoy Thanksgiving, folks!

I would rip the threads asway
That I might bleed some more."

It's the motion"
