What's your favorite lyric from a song?

@stereo5 I always loved the following line (apart from those times when working with the public brought it too close to home).

"There’s someone in my head but it’s not me"

Two from the Queen of Folk - so much talent in one person. Sometimes I wish she’d taken the road of success rather than activism. Still, I think most of what she sought came to be. I certainly hope so.

"Like these flowers at your door and scribbled notes about the war
We’re only saying the time is short and there is work to do
And we’re still marching in the streets with little victories and big defeats"



"Now I see you standing
With brown leaves falling around
And snow in your hair
Now you’re smiling out the window
Of that crummy hotel
Over Washington Square
Our breath comes out white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
We both could have died then and there"

"Woke up on Monday and wrote you a love song, a love song
well the pen stopped and the paper flew out the window
and the notes rang down the road
I don't know where they'll go, get caught in the trees I suppose
ripped apart by the birds and the winter winds whisper good bye to your love..."

"Maybe On Monday" Calexico

WOW!

"Idiot wind
Blowing through the buttons of our coats
Blowing through the letters that we wrote
Idiot wind
Blowing through the dust upon our shelves
We're idiots, babe
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves"



Dylan's final verse always comes to mind each time some new realisation gradually dawns upon me.
