Best single line lyric in a song?

And cool low sun
Has blinded you for days
From horizon to horizon
Can I dream this all away
 
I could not get that song out of my head the other week. I watched Wild with Reese Witherspoon and that song was featured heavily in it.

Did you like the movie? I actually hated the book. Thought she was a whiny twat.
 
Been born before
I'm pretty used to it
Brain-dead is how it always ends.
 
She said "I know you and you can-not sing"
I said "That's nothing you should hear me play pi-a-noooo"

The Smiths - The Queen is Dead
 
Life is woven on a spindle over time
Different fibers cling together making one
Telling stories of the pathways that arise
Like a goddess nursing her newborn son
 
The only thing we knew for sure about Henry Porter is that his name wasn't Henry Porter. - Bob Dylan
 
It was me and a gun
And a man on my back
And I sang “holy holy” as he buttoned down his pants.

'I crave excess, Turning wine into sweat dripping down my neck' In This Moments
 
i was happy in the haze of a drunken hour,

but heaven knows im miserable now

Gotten too far off the map
Not so sure I can get back.
Was I the one who drifted off?
Did I take advantage of good love?
'Cause I swear I did everything I could've done
But what good is love without the trust?
Does anybody wanna

Put me back, put me back on the map?
I'd be all about it
I'd do anything, anything
That you asked
'Cause honestly I've been
Out of touch and out of reach
Just looking for someone, anything
That's finally gonna put me back
Put me back on the map

Something steady, something good
Is probably closer than I thought it could be
All this off the grid is getting old
And my compass says I'm getting close
But I don't know, it's hard to read
So I'll just keep moving
Hoping someone out there's gonna

Put me back, put me back on the map
I'd be all about it
I'd do anything, anything
That you asked
'Cause honestly I've been
Out of touch and out of reach
Just looking for someone, anything
That's finally gonna put me back
Put me back on the map

S.O.S, it's out of hand
Just holding out for love again
I'm sending signals, find me fast
I know, I know
There's gotta be somebody who can

Put me back, put me back on the map
Cause I'd be all about it
I'd do anything anything
That you asked
'Cause honestly I've been
Out of touch and out of reach
Just looking for someone, anything
That's finally gonna put me back
Put me back on the map
 
Greatest music line

Steve Miller Band, "The Joker"

"I really love your peaches, wanna shake your tree!"
(Or something close to that, anyway...)

I listen to that song just for that line.
