Oh, ha ha, I didn't even realise that this was a cross post! How funny that we picked the exact same lyric :-)

Ok, in that case I'll add this one, from Ballad of a Thin Man:

You raise up your head and you ask, "Is this where it is?"
And somebody points to you and says, "It's his"
And you say, "What's mine?" and somebody else says, "Well, what is?"
And you say, "Oh my God, am I here all alone?"

Yeeeep love the ballad of a thin man, I think we both like the same era of dylan most. I would bet Blonde on Blonde is your favourite album (despite neither of these songs being on it). Or highway 61 revisited if I'm wrong

Highway 61 for me, although I do love Blonde on Blonde too and it was the first Dylan I ever bought. Big fan of Blood on the Tracks and Desire as well.

Desolation Row vs Like a Rolling Stone vs Ballad of a Thin Man, if you had to pick one ...

Don't make me choose!! ;-)

Probably Rolling Stone though, just for the sheer contempt in the delivery.

How about you?
