There are myriad threads about entire song lyrics but for a lyric fragment my money's on the man in black:
"I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die."
Gotta love the images that conjures up, there's a whole story in those few words.
What lyric fragment captures your imagination?
I got some heaven in my head

Hewlett's daughter,
Loved her father,
And I think she loved me too,
For a little while
I will show you fear in a handful of dust |

A fireman her husband was
And so to give him duty
I duly tried to light a fire
Upon his rightful booty
I will show you fear in a handful of dust |

Time for a holiday, Denis. Time for a little siesta on the beach. Slowly walk away from that Schnappi CD and start booking your flight to Mexico.

You're sweet but you're just four feet
And you still got your baby teeth
You're too young and I'm too well hung
Tonight I'm gonna rock you
Tonight I'm gonna rock you
Tonight!
You're hot, you take all we got,
not a dry seat in the house
Next day, we'll be on our way
Tonight I'm gonna rock you
Tonight!

Hell, might as well. The album has been in my CDplayer the last few weeks.
And you my love, won't you take my hand
We'll go back in time to that mystic land
Where the dew drops cry and the cats meow
I will take you there
I will show you how

And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burnin' coal

Like it was written in my soul from me to you,
Tangled up in blue.
Too many more that I cannot think of.

I can hardly ever remember lyrics when asked a question like this, and the first couple I went to ended up being too long, but from my mix -
Jo McCafferty's 'Dangerous Ground'
"If I'm not in love, then how come I can feel love die"
That which does not kill me postpones the inevitable.

I need to restrain myself on these lyrics threads, but one of my absolute favourites:

Wouldn't say this fragment captures my imagination as such - there is some that do, but this line is just a good way of putting something..
'Never again is what you swore the time before..'
Love that for some reason. |
