What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...

The complete lyrics in Lucinda Williams' song "West" on the album of the same title 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.
Oops. "West" is a fantastic song, but it was "Are You Alright?" that I meant to single out for it's lyrical content. It you weren't in love when the song begins, you will be by the time it ends.
"If you’ve got somebody -you can trust to the very end -I said if you do I want to be like you -’Cause you sure got a real good friend"

When the spoon is hot
and the needle's sharp
and you drift away
Oooooo, I can hear you say

Temple of The Dog- "Times of Trouble"

From the Frank Zappa masterpiece Packard Goose below .

Information is not knowledge.
Knowledge is not wisdom.
Wisdom is not truth.
Truth is not beauty.
Beauty is not love.
Love is not music.
Music is THE BEST ,End Quote .

That sums up my life long love of music and the insanity we go thru to get the best sound possible .
