What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...

All of mine are from Leonard Cohen. Here's one:
you try the handle of the road
it opens, do not be afraid
it's you my love, you who are the stranger
it is you my love, you who ae the stranger

Or how about:
and just when I was sure that his teaching was pure,
he drowned himself in the pool.
his body is gone but out here on the lawn
his spirit continues to drool

ouch.
I know your life is empty 
And you hate to face this world alone 
So you're searching for an angel 
Someone who can make you whole 
I can not save you 
I can't even save myself 
So just save yourself 

I know that you've been damaged 
Your soul has suffered such abuse 
But I am not your savior 
I am just as fucked as you 
I am just as fucked as you 
I can not save you 
I can't even save myself 
So just save yourself 

Please don't take pity on me 
Please don't take pity on me 
Please don't take pity on me 
Please don't take pity on me 

My life has been a nightmare 
My soul is fractured to the bone 
And if I must be lonely, I think I'd rather be alone 
I think I'd rather be alone 

You can not save me 
You can't even save yourself 
I can not save you 
I can't even save myself 
Save yourself 
So just save yourself

Stabbing Westward, "Save Yourself"

Good advice, and a great bass riff.  Play Really Loud. ;)
I'll always remember
The chill of November
The news of the Fall
The Sounds in the hall 
The clock on the wall
Ticking away
Seize the day
I heard him say
Life will not always be this way
Look around
Hear the sounds
Cherish your life
While you're still around...
