What's your favorite lyric from a song?

cd318,
I guess it probably comes off better with music. As prose it doesn't make a lot of sense.

"There's a southern accent, where I come from
The young 'uns call it country
The yankees call it dumb
I got my own way of talkin'
But everything is done, with a southern accent
Where I come from"...

Tom Petty  "Southern Accent"

@roxy54 , I’m not that familiar with Metal but my brother used to play these regularly.

I get the vague idea of one being about censorship (A little man with a big eraser, changing history) the other damnation (The never ending search for your shattered sanity) but you’re right about them working better with music.

" And the sky was made of amethyst
all the stars are made of little fish

you should learn when to say no....!!!!"

""and I’m the one with no soul
