What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...

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.
Stones’ All the Way Down (Excerpt)

She went all the way 
All the way down 
She went all the way, all the way 
She showed me love a hundred ways 
How she pimped and how she paid 
All the daughters, all the sons 
All were welcome, all would come 
We went all the way 
All the way down 
We went all the way, all the way 
I was King, Mr. Cool 
Just a snobby little fool 
(Like kids are now.) 
I dreamed of reaching greater heights 
I raved about it every night 
Talk is cheap
