What's your favorite lyric from a song?

Not the most uplifting but it creates a clear visual, from Aqualung by Jethro Tull:

"Do you still remember
December's foggy freeze
When the ice that clings on to your beard
Was screaming agony
And you snatch your rattling last breaths
With deep-sea diver sounds
And the flowers bloom
Like madness in the spring"

Some life lessons, from It Ain't Whatcha Eat But the Way How You Chew It, by Delbert McClinton:

"My Daddy told me once he said 'Listen, Son'

You gotta learn to be a man, you can't just be one.

Some people cheating, and other people lyin',

Laughing ain't a pleasure til you know 'bout crying."

Delbert has some great lyrics..."I ain't old, but I've been around a long time" is hitting home as I just turned 65.

Weir/Barlow: "Ya ain't gonna learn what ya don't wanna know" . . . more apt today than ever, unfortunately. 

I am angry, I am ill and I'm as ugly as sin.

My irritability keeps me alive and kicking...

"Ya ain't gonna learn what ya don't wanna know"

This line reminded me of 2 different sets of Dylan lyrics illustrating 2 different kinds of knowledge.

"Your sister sees the future

Like your mama and yourself

You've never learned to read or write

There's no books upon your shelf"

(One More Cup of Coffee : Desire - 1976)

"You can smell the pine wood burnin'

You can hear the school bell ring

Got to get up near the teacher if you can,

If you wanna learn anything"

(Floater : Love and Theft - 2001)

I guess it might have more meaning put to music...
