Best single line lyric in a song?

[lovetoread]

One of these days maybe your magic won't affect me
And your kiss won't make me weak
But no one in this world knows me the way you know me
So you'll probably always have a spell on me...

 

[dobbins1]

!!

:,,hold onto 16 as long as you can..changes come around real soon make us women & men!!"

 

[ElizabethWest]

"...Your blood's in mine, it's like holy wine
Lost inside those big brown eyes
Your lips touch mine and my eyes go blind..."

 

[Lorilei]

Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me

She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me

The judge said son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die
I spoke not a word, thou it meant my life
I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife


Now the scaffold is high and eternity's near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night, when the north wind moans
In a long black veil, she cries ov're my bones

She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me.

Heh! ~ James Brown

 

[MsLead]

I'm friends with the monster...that's under my bed
Get along with the voices...inside of my head......

 

[jet_nebula]

Like a moth to a flame, my wings burn away,
When things are too beautiful, I smash them to pieces,
The more that you love me insecurity releases,
And I'll be the one that's to blame,
So I'll sell my soul to blaze
Like a moth to a flame
(Like a moth to a flame)

 

[lovetoread]

You, where the hell did you come from?
You're a different, different kind of fun
And I'm so used to feeling numb
Now, I've got pins and needles on my tongue
Anticipating what's to come
Like a finger on a loaded gun

I can feel it rising
Temperature inside me
Haven't felt it for a lifetime

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Been so long I forgot how to turn it up, up, up, up all night long
Oh up, up all night long
This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Turned it on
But I know you can take it up, up, up, up all night long
Oh up, up all night long (all night long)

I, I wasn't even gonna go out
But I never would have had a doubt
If I'd have known where I'd be now

Your hands on my hips
And my kiss on your lips
Oh, I could do this for a lifetime

 

[juttjaw]

The tune that is yours and mine to play upon this earth
We'll play it out the best we know, whatever it is worth
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
But happiness to me is you and I love you more than blood.

 

[y=mx+b]

Out of sight is always out of mind
I think out of mind is out of sight
I was just looking for some peace of mind
I just couldn't find a peace of mine.

 

[neci]

come on baby light my fire

"You make me come. You make me complete. You make me completely miserable." -Lit "Miserable"

At the time that song came out I was in the middle phase of that cycle; I didn't understand how apt it was.

 

[doctor_insanus]

Now what's that sound from underneath the door?
He's pounding nails into a hardwood floor
And I swear to God I heard someone moaning low
And I keep seeing the blue light of a TV show

 

[Miasorrow]

We reflect ourselves in it
To make sure
That we exist
All we want is love

The song is even better.

 

[Que]

Now what's that sound from underneath the door?
He's pounding nails into a hardwood floor
And I swear to God I heard someone moaning low
And I keep seeing the blue light of a TV show

The is a great song. Tom Waits. He does amazing things with just words. If I was a lyricist, I would want to be him. He is fascinating in interviews.

 

[ElizabethWest]

Are you strong enough to be my man?

 

[doctor_insanus]

Swimming the same deep water as you is hard.

Oh, yes.

And he's got the perfect voice for speaking those words.

Sugar sugar kandy pop
Push it down and pull it up

i'd forgotten this band ever existed until boredom led me to watch nmtb on youtube. basically, fuck you, britain. this is your fault.

 

[doctor_insanus]

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

 

[BoyNextDoor]

Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don’t steal, don’t lift
Twenty years of schoolin’
And they put you on the day shift

 

[Aglaopheme]

When he's around there's not a thing I lack.
When he loves me he holds nothin' back.

 

[BoyNextDoor]

She was married when we first met
Soon to be divorced
I helped her out of a jam I guess
But I used a little too much force

best line in a song

His fist hasnt been sober since maybe October of last year...

It conveys so much sorrow and despair. Its so visional and gi es you a sense of time which adds weight to everyrhing in the song
