Song lyric imagery

   I was in town today and I passed by a fancy shop selling decorative glassware.  Looking through the window I saw one of these (I didn't have my camera with me, so I couldn't take a picture myself, but this is the item in question...):

And I thought...

"And if you take a look around, Harmony is dying
Someone trapped the spirit in a glass guitar
And if you listen with your heart, you can hear it crying
Free me from my crystal prison in this glass guitar"

(Good old Utopia, 'Singring and the Glass Guitar' )

Have you seen any song lyric metaphors-made-flesh that made you smile?  (Not necessarily prog ones...)

	I know that I've done that before, but I can't think of any specific examples.
