What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...
arthursmuck
Muriel plays piano 
Every Friday at the Hollywood
They brought me down to see her
And asked me if I would
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
She said, "Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said, "Ma'am, I am tonight."

"Walkin' in Memphis"
Marc Cohn
another from Smog/Bill Callahan...

"Do you miss me when I go
Honey I love you and that's all you need to know
Well then what is love
Love is an object kept in an empty box
How can something be in an empty box
Well well give me another shot
Of that truth serum"

"Truth Serum"

"he said he wanted heaven,
but prayin’ was too slow"....
so he bought a one-way ticket
on an air line made of snow..."....

flying low............
"he only had a dollar to live on till next Monday,

he spent it on the comfort of his mind,

some think he’s blind"....
