Clever lyric you just noticed in songs you've heard many times

Electric Angel Rock n Roller
I hear what your playin’

Sang along with this for 40 years without knowing what it actually said…not particularly clever though but interesting choice of words to put together

Free For All- Ted Nugent

Come alone and I'm drivin' home
I'm healthy I do declare

Got my threads comfused

I always liked the swan song reference in Some Nights by Fun. The lyric goes:

so this is it?
I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
No, when I see stars, when I see-
When I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs
They sound like a swan, so come on
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on

I really love the middle verse of Hotel California

“Her mind is Tiffany twisted, shes got the Mercedes Bends” is an amazing fricking line.

that's really one of my favorite Eagles songs.

Love that guitar sound

Took me a long time to figure out one of the lines in Mountain's Mississippi Queen...

You know she was a dancer,
She moved better on wine

Billy Joel has a whole bunch of them through out his catalogue, such as Honesty, Captain Jack, The Stranger (song), Piano Man, Stiletto, etc.

Here's one from "The Entertainer":

"I am the entertainer
And I know just where I stand
Another serenader
And another long-haired band
Today I am your champion
I may have won your hearts
But I know the game, you'll forget my name
And I won't be here in another year
If I don't stay on the charts.

I am the entertainer
And I've had to pay my price
The things I did not know at first
I learned by doin' twice
Ah, but still they come to haunt me
Still they want their say
So I've learned to dance with a hand in my pants
Let 'em rub my neck and I write 'em a check
And they go their merry way.

I am the entertainer
Been all around the world
I've played all kinds of palaces
And laid all kinds of girls
I can't remember faces
I don't remember names
Ah, but what the hell? You know it's just as well
'Cause after a while and a thousand miles
It all becomes the same".

I was today years old when I realized this

In "Already Gone" by The Eagles:

" But I guess you felt like you had to set things right

Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky

You can see the stars and still not see the light"
