Favorite Rock n' Roll Lyrics

I've been listening to rock n roll for longer than I care to remember, but every once in awhile certain song lyrics stand out as being clever, poetic, meaningful or some combination of all three. A couple come to mind like, "There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold and she's buying a stairway to heaven", by Led Zeppelin. Or, "I know a girl from a lonely street. Cold as ice cram but still as sweet", Sunday Girl by Blondie. Probably my all time favorite is from a song called 'Switchin' to Glide' by a Canadian band called The Kings. It contains the classic line, "Nothing matters but the weekend from a Tuesday point of view." I don't think that there's too many of us that can't relate to that! Anyone want to share their favorite lyrics?

Great song, also enjoy Elvis's "Suspicious Minds." Both deal with the heartache of "Love."

They were pretty much a 1 hit wonder but it is a catchy little number. It was originally 2 songs they combined which is why it's called The Beat Goes On/Switchin' to Glide.

Never thought about favorite song lyrics, although I really like a song whose words move me to have an emotional connection. So, here's some lyrics from the Eagles "Take It Easy" I really like... Take It Easy, take it easy Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you Crazy Lighten up while you still can Don't even try to understand Just find a place to make your stand and take it easy Just kind of gives out the vibe in that passage to slow down, chill, and enjoy.

Yes you are correct that there are so many lyrics that are clever, poetic, meaningful or combination of all these.
