What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...

In 69 I was 17 and I called the road my own, I don't know where that road turned off but it's the road I'm on.
Jeez, someone out there actually knows The United States of America.

Take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
" ...because sometimes the signs from Heaven are vague"

Is my favourite recent lyric - from the last song on The Fiery Furnaces debut CD - 'Gallowbird's Bark'.

That line sticks with me, in the face of all the craziness in the world, where so many people believe they are in possession of the 'absolute truth'.

Cheers.
"McArthur's Park is melting in the rain.
I don't think that I can take it, cause it took so long to bake it,
And I'll never have that recipe agaiiiin - Oh Nooooooo!"
