What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...
arthursmuck
Larger than life and twice as ugly, If we have to live there, you'll have to drug me...
ABC, How To Be A Millionaire
"Two men say they're Jesus, one of them must be wrong, there's a protest singer, he's singin' a protest song..."

Dire Straits, Industrial Disease
"Bar-tender asks me 'Son, what'll it be'?, I'll have a shot of that red-head yonder lookin' at me."

Brooks & Dunn, Boot Scootin Boogie
The complete lyrics in Lucinda Williams' song "West" on the album of the same titleĀ are the sweetest, most endearing I've heard in a long, long time. The chord sequence and melody are also magnificent, absolutely beautiful. Heart-wrenching, actually.
