What's your favorite lyric from a song?

"And every day is like Sunday"!!!

Morrissey - the T.S.Elliot for our Internet age!

"And when I whispered in your ear I lost another friend" from Led Zeppelin I

@roberjerman, you are the target (quarry) is indeed awesome.

As for Led Zep I always tend to remember the drums and guitar more than the lyrics. But here’s few I never forget, mostly from the same album.

Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself it’s not as hard, hard, hard as it seems


Your head is humming and it won’t go
In case you don’t know
The piper’s calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

(used to play the whole song in my head all day whilst working in a factory).

If it keeps on rainin’ levee’s goin’ to break
If it keeps on rainin’ levee’s goin’ to break

(this one comes on automatically every time we get heavy rain)

and I can’t leave this one out,

Been dazed and confused for so long it’s not true
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you
Lots of people talk and few of them know
Soul of a woman was created below, yeah

Here's a nice early 60s lyric from one of the greatest talents of that era - Lionel Bart 

I've seen places, faces
And smiled for a moment
But, oh, you haunted me so
Still, my tongue tied, young pride
Would not let my love for you show
In case you'd say "No"

Just beautiful.
