What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...

In the same vein, from a different angle:

Gotta make your own rules, child
Gotta brake your own chains
The dreams that posses you
Can blossom and bless you
Or run you insane

Richie Havens - The Hawk

Ha!  By a strange YouTube algorithm this appears as I'm searching for Do You Remember Walter!

"I won't take all that they hand me down

Make out a smile, though I wear a frown

And I'm not gonna take it all lying down

Cause once I get started, I go to town"

 

 

cd318,

That's another great Kinks song that I really love. I didn't like the version that accompanied that video though. I don't know who that artist was.

First line, 

"Honey, don't you be yelling at me when I'm cleaning my gun.

I'll wash the blood off the tailgate when deer seasons's done......."

and then later down the song,

"So if monsignor should pull you aside as you're leaving the church

And I'm out on the ice, dropping lines for the walleye and perch

Tell him it's not your job to bring me to the fold

And I'd rather stand outside in the cold".

Another great song from James McMurtry
