What's your favorite lyric from a song?

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***

"I'm gonna grow fins and go back in the water again.  If you don't leave me alone"

"I'm gonna take up with a mermaid and leave you land-lubbin women alone".

Captain Beefheart- "Grow Fins"

'Every day I work so hard
Bringin' home my hard earned pay
Try to love you baby, but you push me away

Don't know where you're goin'
Only know just where you've been
Sweet little baby, I want you again'


Led Zeppelin - Dazed and Confused 
(or the marriage song 😆)

Gentle on My Mind by John Hartford

It's knowin' that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag rolled up
And stashed behind your couch
