Subject: RE: Great turns of phrase in lyrics
Yes, kat, you missed the last one which was a clone of one started by Kendall just a couple of months ago. But, what the heck, it is fun and informative! So here we go again!

I loved the phrase you mentioned! It certainly evokes mental images!

A phrase I love was written long ago by my dear friend, David A.,who none of you know. However, his phrase appeared on someone else's song years later. I cannot remember the other song at the moment.

David A.'s line was "When I jumped this train, I wore a younger man's shoes, a pocketful of dreams, and nothing to lose."

In context, it is marvelous, but even alone, the line speaks to something deep within me.
