What's your favorite lyric from a song?

Another year older and what have you done.

 

The most embarrassingly confessional first verse I've heard must be this one. 

The Wedding Present - 'Nobody's Twisting Your Arm'.

 

And when I called your house
I'm sure your sister thought that I was somebody else
I heard a laugh down the phone
And then the answer came that you weren't at home (ohh)

 

 

Comin' back to Me - Jefferson Airplane

A very sad love song.

(49) Jefferson Airplane - Comin' back to me (with lyrics) - YouTube

@roxy54

That’s what you might call a real haunting song of loss.

It reminded me of this one originally written by Nick Cave, but performed here by Shane McGowan.

Lucy

 

Last night I lay trembling
The moon it was low
It was the end of love
Of misery and woe

Then suddenly above me
Her face buried in light
Came a vision of beauty
All covered in white

Now the bell-tower is ringing
And the night has stole past
O Lucy, can you hear me?
Wherever you rest

 

and the further i get from the things that i care about, the less i care about how much further away i get. the cure, fear of ghosts.
