Thread Name: Great turns of phrase in lyrics
Subject: Great turns of phrase in lyrics
We may have had similar threads, but if so I think they were awhile ago, or I missed the latest. My apologies if this seems redundant.

I've been listening to a Dave Carter/Tracy Grammer CD, "When I Go." I love all of his lyrics, but there is one phrase in his song "Frank to Valentino" which really strikes me. It's talking about a man who got married 20 years earlier when only 17 yrs old. His wife had a mouth on her that he thought would temper down over the course of time...anyway, 20 yrs later he's driving away, a short-range victim of her sawed-off mouth which I think is a great turn of ironic phrase.

Please feel free to share your favourite song phrase.

Thanks,

kat
