What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...
arthursmuck
Many too many have stood where I stand
Many more will stand here too
I think what I find strange is the way you built me up
Then knocked me down againThe part was fun but now it's over
Why can't I just leave the stage?
Maybe that's because you securely locked me up
Then threw away the key
Oh mama
Please would you find the key
Oh pretty mama
Please won't you let me go free
I thought I was lucky
I thought that I'd got it made
How could I be so blind?
You said good-bye on a corner
That I thought led to the straight
You set me on a firmly laid and simple course
Then removed the road
Oh mama
Please help me find my way
Oh pretty mama
Please lead me through the next day
I thought I was lucky
Oh I thought that I'd got it made
How could I be so blind? Oh no


“Many Too Many” - Genesis
"I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the
most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad..." 

Pink Floyd
Driving down to ASDA (Walmart UK) this following lyric (courtesy of Rod Stewart) came on over the radio. I was almost induced to tears, especially by the following lines,


"I can tell by your eyes that you've probably been crying forever

The stars in the sky don't mean nothing to you; they're a mirror"
“Life’s a bitch yet so sublime, I’m going nowhere but I’m making good time”

Delbert McClinton 

Song - Pulling the Strings
Album - Prick of the Litter 
"...I'm gonna fly,
To where the sky meets the land
And the livin' is not planned
And the children can laugh just 'cause they're livin'".
