What's your favorite lyric from a song?

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!"

Ooooo hoooo ooooo!
lord have mercy,
I had 3 dounts and 2 cups of coffee,
but that didn't stop my appetite.
I had already eaten a box of cookies late last night,
I had 10 pancakes , plenty of syrup and butter and two slices of ham,
3 eggs, home fries, 4 biscuits all smothered in jam,
2 glasses of milk and a cheese cake.

I thought I didn't want anymore,
but I just had about 12 of those mints in the bowl by the door.

That is why, that is why, you're overweight....
