Like the title says, what are your favorite lyrics?
I just heard one of my favorite verses today:
“In a seedy karaoke bar by the banks of the mighty Bosporus Is a Japanese man in a business suit singing “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.” And the muscular cyborg German dudes dance with sexy French Canadians While the overweight Americans wear their patriotic jumpsuits”
Two from Marian Call (god I love Marian Call)
Oh if ever love astounds you You have to let it, have to let it Oh if ever joy surrounds you You have to let it, have to let it
-Ina Flew the Coop
We scored the limestone just like so To map the stars’ ascent To prove we understood the moon We left circles where she went
The triangle unlocked for us, To Babel up our towers And then we wrangled fire And rocketeered our sticks back to the stars
-Standing Stones
