What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...
arthursmuck
'You're the One for Me, Fatty'

and

'Girlfriend in a coma, I know I know - it's serious'

both by Morrissey.
just thought of a couple more:

'One Cup of Tea is Never Enough but two is One Too Many'

and

'I can’t go back to savoury… now'

both classics by John Shuttleworth
Pcoombs,
Morrissey has so many great lyrics, it would be hard to know where to start. "Bigmouth Strikes Again" is another of many.
I'm going to see him for the second time in Phoenix on Feb 10th. Looking forward to it.
Enjoy the gig Roxy54, hope Morrissey is well enough now.
I had the good fortune of growing up in Manchester and being in my late teen during the eighties heard them at the beginning.
ok one more for the road:

'Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking
When I said I'd like to smash every tooth
In your head.......... Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the Human race.'
Lyrics from "Stardust", written by Mitchell Parish. Song composed by Hoagy Carmichael. Favorite rendition sung by Nat King Cole:

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart

You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by

Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely night dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
Now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song

Beside a garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
A paradise where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
