My current favorite is from "Thick as Thieves":

In a world without faith, you're what I believe
When they're stacking the deck, you're the card up my sleeve...



And I'm with Eveline on both the lyrical imagery and the lines that call back to lyrics in other songs. "Pictures of You" reminds me of RSO's "Masterpiece":

What hangs in my heart
Forever in time
A portrait of you...
I wanna paint you mine.
My Masterpiece


Which in turn, reminded me of "One Last Goodbye":

There's a painting of you in a beautiful light
That hangs on the wall of my heart
It'll live there forever, time after time
Like a priceless, fine work of art


I may have said this here before, I can't remember. But, to me, the champion of that is "Room at the End of the World." Almost every line in that song sounds like a callback to a different Bon Jovi-related song. I know some people think it's laziness when they use the same phrases over and over; but in this case I think Jon and Shanks were brilliant in the way they tied images from earlier songs together, without making it sound like a parody.


There's a room at the end of the world
Where my secrets go to hide
There's a room at the end of the world
Where I'll wait for you tonight

Where the roads all go to end
Where lost Valentines get sent
Where a rose comes back to life
Where young love never dies
Where we never say goodbye

There's a room at the end of the world
Where your memories are safe
There's a room at the end of the world
You just gotta have some faith

Where all prayers go to be heard
And the truth will have its turn
Take a look into these eyes,
There's no place I'd rather be tonight,
No place I'd rather be tonight

Don't say no, just give in
Close your eyes, there's no sin
Don't hold back, just let go
Take your time, take it slow
It's me and you in our room at the end of the world

There's no looking back in our room
Fade to black

There's a room at the end of the world
That I hang on to
There's a room at the end of the world
Where I wait for you,
I'll wait for you

Where I wait for you in our room
Dreams are coming true in our room
It's just me and you in our room.

One of my favorites but These Days competes with Springsteen for awesome lyrics.

I also love ♥_♥ Room at the end of the world, JackieBlue
I know "Fade to black" is always referring to the past like in Brokenpromiseland
but I personally always took that part to when I go to a vacation hotel room and after watch the pretty view I close all the curtains and the whole room is black lol

Best lyric?
Jajaj Too many...
my favorite lyric is Wanted
but in my last vacation I was listening a couple lyrics that I found related and really liked it a lot together!

Love hurts and Love is war
"I just can't stand to see you cry
No one knows the reasons why...
...At times I've been afraid to try
But sometimes it's alright to cry"
"I know my silence tears you up inside
you built a fortress for your hurt to hide
you think you've won, but it's a tie
'cause nobody wins a war of pride"

-_-
