Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You?

For some reason, certain arrangements of basic parts of speech attached to pitch and cadence got themselves permanently attached to my (remaining) brain cells.  

What are your favs?

Here's my Top 3.

#1:

"Her teeth were like the stars above because they come out every night." Homer and Jethro, Live at the Country Club (Side one)

#2:

"They'll never forgot you, until somebody new comes along."  (I think you know this one)

#3:

I had an internal UFC level battle going on in my head for this position, with no less than 11 contenders duking it out.  So, I just gave up, and passed the baton to you guys.

”People Have The Power“ Patti Smith 1988

https://youtu.be/pPR-HyGj2d0?si=Q7_SmkpYCm8J5QtP

Even more relevant today than it was back in 88’.

Here is an excerpt:

I believe everything we dream
can come to pass through our union
we can turn the world around
we can turn the earth's revolution
we have the power
People have the power

The people have the power
The people have the power

The power to dream, to rule
to wrestle the world from fools
it's decreed the people rule
it's decreed the people rule
we have the power
People have the power
we have the power...

I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment I could be you
Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is to see you

A short one "the strain of her refrain" from Little Feat's Dixie Chicken is underrated genius.

 

Also from Phish "no left turn unstoned" from NICU.
