Alas, copying only two lines from this song constitutes about 25% of the whole. This may or may not come up against the "substantiality" factor. I could quote only one line if I had to; the story won't fall apart without the rest.
If I can't get permission, I'll make a decision then.
Weird. Authors wanting to maintain rights to their own stuff. Go figure.
I went through the same thing last year... wrote a story, included song lyrics, asked the ml about it, and, well, just decided to drop the lyrics. Because unless you're Stephen King you probably can't get away with that.
