The Nation's Greatest Lyric on one of the satellite music channels not long ago determined U2's "One" as the greatest lyric.
What's your personal favourite? Feel free to explain why or how they relate to you.
For me, it's The Smiths - "The Queen Is Dead"
"Farewell to this lands cheerless marshes
hemmed in like a boar between arches
her very Lowness with a head in a sling
I'm truly sorry - but it sounds like a wonderful thing
dear Charles, don't you ever crave
to appear on the front of the Daily Mail
dressed in your Mother's bridal veil?"
