What's your favourite lyric and who performed it?(The big question)
The nation's favourite song line is "Imagine all the people, living life in peace" from John Lennon's Imagine. The lyric topped an Orange survey which was conducted last week to mark the Orange Word Songwriters Season at the Guardian Hay Festival. What lyric does it for you?
Justin Hawkins, The Darkness's lead singer
"I'm livin' in a nightmare/She's nothing but a wet dream': Downpayment Blues by AC/DC. Bon Scott was a fabulous talent. It's the puerile nature of his lyrics I like."
Eric Nicoli, EMI group chairman
"The lyrics from Cat Stevens' How Can I Tell You. It's just deeply emotional with real feeling. It's such an atmospheric and incredibly touching song. There was a time in my life in 1974 when it wasn't great emotionally and I would spend hours listening to Cat Stevens' Tea For The Tillerman and Teaser And The Firecat."
Michelle Escoffery, songwriter
"It has to be from Anita Baker's Sweet Love: 'With all my heart I love you baby/Stay with me and you will see/My arms will hold you, baby'."
