What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...

"Fish swim
 birds fly...
 lovers leap
 by and by...
 Old men
 sit and think.
 ……...I drink"

Mary Gauthier  "I Drink"

Reminds me of this gem delivered in a dead pan matter of fact voice by the late great J J Cale,

”I can’t swim and I can’t fly
I ain’t no fish, I ain’t no bird in the sky
I can’t tell if the sun’s gonna shine
And I don’t know if you’ll ever be mine
But I’ll make love to you any old time”

Thanks for that! 

I love JJ Cale!

Would not be surprised if MG derived her song from JJ.

Young and rich
Everything I desire
Light bulbs with shades
In every room
