favorite line from a song?

"He pulled the mirrors off his Cadillac
'Cause he doesn't like it looking like he looks back"
Tame Impala

"Good things come to those who wait
But good things are gone from those who are late"
Ben Harper

"Goodbye to you, Charlotte Pringle's due
I've had enough for one day"
Pink Floyd

"A broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life
Somewhere a queen is weeping
Somewhere a king has no wife"
Jimi Hendrix
 
I don’t write songs about girls anymore
I have to write songs about women
No more boy meets girl-boy loses girl
More like guy tries to figure out what the hell went wrong,
I’m an adult now...
 
Impossible to pick a favorite but this song always ends up in my head on fun days in the saddle and seems appropriate for this forum:

Fire up the willing engine
Responding with a roar
Tires spitting gravel
I commit my weekly crime

Wind
In my hair
Shifting and drifting
Mechanical music
Adrenaline surge...

Well-weathered leather
Hot metal and oil
The scented country air
Sunlight on chrome
The blur of the landscape
Every nerve aware

Excerpt from Red Barchetta, Rush/Moving Pictures
RIP Neal Peart
 
It's better to lose a few beans from your bag
than to have no bag for your beans

I don't even know who I'm singing this to
but I know it's kind of strange,
I've got a very clear picture in my head
but I feel like I'm painting in the rain
 
I'm out, I'm out in bushes
Playing, playing with plastics
Birdbrain, they say I'm a birdbrain
If I am then can I just fly away
Shoe straps and eyelashes washing my brain
Twenty-five years are just washed down the drain
 
You know, baby
When I was taking my pantyhose out of their egg this evening
I thought: "I'm going to find that man that is the right shade of bottle tan
A man that smells like cocoa butter and cash"
Take me anyway you like it
In front of the fireplace
In front of your yacht
In front of my parents
I don't give a damn, baby, just take me
 
"Two time woman, don't tell me those lies
I hear your voice but I'm looking right in your eyes."

Alvin Lee
 
You’re breaking my heart
You’re tearing it apart
So fuck you...

To know you is to love you, To see you going free, The collar, of your loving I never found a woman like you, that could be my lover 'n' my best friend - BB King
 
Anyway, 10:30, the other night, I go out in my yard,
and there's the Wurster kid, looking up in the tree.
I say, "What are You looking for?"
He says "I'm looking for my burrow owl."
I say, "Jumping Jesus on a Pogo Stick!
Everybody knows the burrow owl lives in a hole. In the ground!
Why the hell do you think they call it a burrow owl, anyway?"

Don’t wish it away
Don’t look at it like it’s forever
Between you and me I can honestly say
That things will only get better.
 
I met Mary, on the corner with the streetlights.
She asked me if I'd come up to her room.
I told her that I didn't have no money.
She said she had to leave pretty soon.
I decided that I would go in.
Jesus shootin' heroin.

Well my telephone was ringing
And they told me it was Chairman Mao
Well my telephone was ringing
And they told me it was Chairman Mao
I don't care who it is
I just don't wanna talk to him now

I've got the a - I got the apolitical blues
Apolitical blues -- the meanest blues of all
I don't care if it's the unholy four, John Wayne and Dorothy Lamour
I just don't wanna talk to him now
 
When I woke up this morning, things were looking bad
Seem like total silence was the only friend I had
Bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down and won
And it was twelve o'clock before I realized that I was having no fun
Ah, but fortunately I have the key to escape reality…
