What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...

I always thought a lyric was a one-liner in a song, not the whole song as many above have interpreted it...

Mine: Springsteen - Rosalita: " ... Someday we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny... "
"When I was young it was more important
Pain more painful but I laughed much louder then
...When I was young"

Eric Burdon & The Animals - When I was young
To sing a song for you
I recall you used to say
oh baby this one’s for we two
Which in the end is you anyway

TEA FOR ONE / LED ZEPPELIN 
The satirical lyrics of Peter Gabriel....

"There's no-one left alive - must be draw."
So the Blackcap Barons toss a coin to settle the score.


The Battle of Epping Forest. [Taken from a news story concerning two rival gangs fighting over East-End Protection rights.]

My 2 favs:
1. Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here:

Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
***Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?***

2. The Clash: Death or Glory

And every gimmick hungry yob digging gold from rock ’n’ roll
Grabs the mike to tell us he’ll die before he’s sold
***But I believe in this and it’s been tested by research
He who fucks nuns will later join the church***
