What's your favorite lyric from a song?

I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die

-man in black

@ghosthouse 

You are correct. Sorry for the mistake.

@slaw 
Absolutely not requiring an apology!  If you only knew the lyrics I've mangled over the years (just ask my wife...she'll have a good laugh).

Actually, I think I might prefer weebles to weevils in my cornmeal. 

Hey baby wont you be my dog and i'll be your tree and you can pee on me.

@rlb61 , it’s funny how despite me feeling symbiotically linked to the Beatles, (like no doubt many, many others), I just can’t think of many lyrics that I consider great.

The magic of the Beatles is a most mysterious one. It’s not exclusively in the lyrics nor in the musicianship or even the image. It’s seems to be some wonderful combination of almost everything, especially the tunes.

Favourite lines don’t ring like poetry,

"Everywhere there’s lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon"

"People running round it’s five o’clock
Everywhere in town it’s getting dark
Everyone you see is full of life
It’s time for tea and Meet The Wife"

"There’s people standing round
Who’ll screw you in the ground
They’ll fill you in with all their sins you see"

"I’m fixing a hole where the rain gets in
And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go"

"Semolina Pilchard
Climbing up the Eiffel tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allen Poe"

and finally perhaps the best pure lyric they ever came up with,

"Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru deva om

Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind
Inside a letter box they
Stumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru deva om

Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing
Through my open ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns
And calls me on and on across the universe
Jai guru deva om

Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world

Jai guru deva
