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

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. |

I need to restrain myself on these lyrics threads, but one of my absolute favourites:
Kristin Hersh - Some Catch Flies
"When he drools, it's like he's spitting jewels"
 I have joined the Cult Of Frank/And I have dearly paid |

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.

And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burnin' coal
Pourin' off of every page
Like it was written in my soul from me to you,
Tangled up in blue.
Too many more that I cannot think of.

and you are ill prepared to fight
living in a world of soft and white

My peoples are you with me where you at?
In the front, in the back killa-bees on attack
my peoples are you with me where you at?
Smokin meth hittin caps on the block with the gats
I will show you fear in a handful of dust |

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

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!

A little Frank Black "Selkie Bride"
human form she hides
in crescent city
she showed me her titties
lucky me
I always thought it was weird that Frank was singing about tits

Beyond belief a broken man too tough to cry

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.

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 |

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 |
