Following on from the "what's your coolest song part of all time" thread I find myself thinking of fave lyrics, now I've run out of parts...

Especially since it's gone on a Thomas Dolby trip. Not much beats "I love you goodbye"'s opening:

"I would never normally go bowling on a Friday morning in New Orleans"

Although Half Man Half Biscuit come close with "Now you are gone forever, shot by your uncle Trevor"

I was drowning my sorrows, when my sorrows learned to swim - some U2 song that I forget the name of.

Other than that - "stand up, clap your hands, shout thank your Lord, thank you for the world I'm in"

Great one Cypherone! Good luck on the fatherhood, it really is a blast (until a 2 yr old slaps their hand across your keyboard in the middle of a perfect take). Well, even then it is fun.

As I recall, this type of thread ends with everyone quoting full songs....I'm guessing in about 3 pages.

"I realize a miracle is due. I dedicate this melody, to you..."

"When you fail to make the connection, you know how vital it is; and when something slips through your fingers you know how precious it is..." Both from the Chameleons

"A million towers stand before me, I cannot climb them all..." VNV Nation

Maybe not cool but definitly a great lyric from Kris Kristofferson's "Sunday morning coming down"

Well, I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt.
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad,
So I had one more for dessert.
Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt.
Then I washed my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.

I think this line by Roger Waters in the song "4.58 AM (Dunroamin, Duncarin, Dunlivin)"

"I nailed ducks to the wall"

would be my favorite

I have wealth beyond messure and my treasures are words
forged by time in a tale of such beauty they cry to be heard
/From The Clerical Conspiracy by Sabbat

With sand between my toes, and water in my eyes
I lost my footing, broke my bones, and spoke to many lies.
/Yours Truly

punk poet john cooper clarke:

we walked out, tentacle-in-hand,
you could tell that the earthlings did not understand,
they go 'nudge, nudge' when we got on the bus,
saying: 'its extraterrestial, not like us'
and its bad enough with another race,
but f**k me, a monster from outer space !

Nick Cave's illustrious career

like your ragged hair"

What's your coolest song lyric of all time?
