Having heard Never Too Close several times in California and Nevada recently these two lines (I am not sure if they qualify as a "couplet" which I read is "A verse unit consisting of two rhymed lines in iambic pentameter" whatever that means when it is at home!!
Anyway the following lyrics have as Smokey wrote and the Beatles sang
"really got a hold on me"
i just love the sound these words make:-
especially the second line
"And so we cried but that is alright
We meant no one no harm "
and Listening to "Triangle" brought back the pleasure of trying to visualise this couplet
"A tuna fish turned to a mermaid in bed and said
"There goes another sandbar""
John Fowles
thinks I am going to compile a collection of my favo(u)rite lines (even one liners) to use in future as my signature
