What's your favorite lyric from a song?

In the Avenues and Alleyways
While you sleep there's a whole world coming alive
Abel and his brother, fighting one another
In and out of every dive
The avenues and alleyways
Where the strong and the quick alone can survive
----

The avenues and alleyways
Where the soul of a man is easy to buy
Everybody's wheeling
Everybody's dealing
All the low are living high
Every city's got em
Can we ever stop em?
Some of us are gonna try


Tony Christie Avenues and Alleyways

No one notices the customs slip away...

Al Stewart/On the Border/Year of The Cat

If you should go skating on the thin ice of modern life, dragging behind you the silent reproach and a million tear stained eyes, don’t be surprised when a crack in the ice appears under your feet. You slip out of your depth and out of your mind with your fear flowing out behind you, as you claw the thin ice.

As if that’s not-good enough, this is being sung to a baby. The sea may look warm to you babe, and the sky may look blue. Oooh ooh oooh Baby Blue. Epic.

Instant karma’s gonna get you
Gonna look you right in the face

Better get yourself together darlin’
Join the human race


How in the world you gonna see
Laughin’ at fools like me?

Who on earth d’you think you are
A super star?

Well, right you are

“You’ve got to be trusted,
By the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You’ll get the chance to push the knife in”

From “Dogs” off the Pink Floyd “Animals” album.

“Big man, pig man
Ha ha, charade you are,
You well heeled big wheel,
Ha ha, charade you are
You are nearly a laugh,
But you’re really a cry”

From “Pigs” off the Pink Floyd “Animals” album
