What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...

For lyrics, mine is bruce springsteen's "the river". There are clever lines throughout the song but this section is my favorite: "Now all them things that seemed so important, Well mister they vanished right into the air.
Now I just act like I dont remember, mary acts like she dont care. But I remember us riding in my brothers car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir. At night on them banks Id lie awake, And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take. Now those memories come back to haunt me, they haunt me like a curse. Is a dream a lie if it dont come true, Or is it something worse...that sends me
Down to the river though I know the river is dry
Down to the river, my baby and i
Oh down to the river we ride..."
well its all the lyrics, however I think they are great!

To the town of dreams he has come to make his mark
Just a small, small fish in a pond that's full of sharks
Well, it's sink or swim and if you wanna grow
It's not what you do, it's just who you know
So he hangs around in the clubs when the skies grow dark

At a casual glance, well, he looks real sleek
Drives a foreign car 'cause that's L.A. chic
If you look real close, well, his sneakers leak
The L.A. Dreamer

Now he rents a place that is far from Beverly Hills
And it's work all day 'cause he has to pay the bills
Every night he's out down on Sunset Strip
Being seen around all those clubs so hip
Then it's up at eight, make it through on those magic pills

At a casual glance, well, he looks real sleek
Drives a foreign car 'cause that's L.A. chic
If you look real close, well, his sneakers leak
The L.A. Dreamer

Standing where he can be seen
Stand around for long enough and
Soon he's part of the machine
Of stars and bars the L.A. dreamer schemes

In a few short weeks he is seen at every place
Just by hanging out everybody knows his face
Oh, he comes on strong like he's real big deal
Buying drinks all around, can't afford no meals
Trying oh so hard to get a start in that L.A. race

At a casual glance, well, he looks real sleek
Drives a foreign car 'cause that's L.A. chic
If you look real close, well, his sneakers leak
The L.A. Dreamer

only found it on LP and both copys have plenty of rice crispies
..and it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around.

You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to..
