What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...
arthursmuck
Yeah ten thousand dollars, go have some fun
Put it all on at a hundred to one
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire, put it on the wire, baby
Doo doo
Doo doo, hang fire, hang fire put it on the wire
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire, hang fire
I heard the following on SiriusXM the other day. Touching lyrics, and sang very nicely IMO except for the part near the end when his singing verges on yelling.

At the end of a rainbow,
You´ll find a pot of gold.
At the end of a story,
You´ll find it´s all been told.
But our love has a treasure
Our hearts can always spend.
And it has a story without any end.

At the end of a river,
The water stops its flow.
At the end of a highway,
There´s no place you can go.
But just tell me you love me
And you are only mine,
And our love will go on till the end of time.
"The End," Earl Grant (1958)

"I ain't never been with a woman long enough, before my boots could get old,
We've been together so long, they both need resoled,
Never said that I love you, even though it's so, 
It's a good time for me to head on down the road"

Heard It In A Love Song
Marshall Tucker Band
What the hell did you expect to find
Aphrodite on a bar-stool by your side?
-Pieces of the Night by Doug Hopkins,  Gin Blossoms 

Man, they sure do miss him....here's another classic,
You can't call it cheatin'
Cause she reminds me of you...
-Cheatin' by Doug Hopkins and Jesse Valenzuela, Gin Blossoms


My favourite sequence from Pepper.

"People running round it's five o'clock
Everywhere in town is getting dark
Everyone you see is full of life
It's time for tea and meet the wife

Somebody needs to know the time, glad that I'm here
Watching the skirts you start to flirt now you're in gear
Go to a show you hope she goes
I've got nothing to say but it's OK"

Well, it is June 1st.
