Thread Name: Favourite Phrases in Songs
Subject: Favourite Phrases in Songs
Would you like to share with us some of your favourite phrases from songs - you know a couple of lines, a line or just half a line where the songwriter has just encapsulated a thought in a way that leaves you wishing you could write like that

Tiny pieces of poetry thrown in and almost lost in the song

here's a couple of examples to show what I mean and maybe get the ball rolling

Gordon Lightfoot's Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
"does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours"

and from Rufford Park Poachers on the death of Roberts the head keeper
"He never will rise up until the final Judgment Day"

over to you, Mudcats
