Best single line lyric in a song?

[MonaLittle]

I took month-long vacations in the stratosphere, and you know it's really hard to hold your breath

I swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared, I was the cosmic kid in full costume dress

Well, my feet they finally took root in the earth, but I got me a nice little place in the stars

And I swear I found the key to the universe in the engine of an old parked car
I hid in the mother breast of the crowd, but when they said, "Pull down," I pulled up

Ooh... growin' up

Yes! Boss!

 

[Kittyscave]

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. The sinners are much more fun.

 

[Beco]

You can't write if you can't relate
Trade the cash for the beef, for the body, for the hate
And my time is a piece of wax fallin' on a termite
That's chokin' on the splinters

 

[MonaLittle]

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. The sinners are much more fun.

Yes!!!

I Love Springsteen. LOVE.HIM.

I bet the peeps at Lit don't, tho. Too Bad

I've seen him 5 times.

 

[Adre]

Yes!!!

I Love Springsteen. LOVE.HIM.

I bet the peeps at Lit don't, tho. Too Bad

I've seen him 5 times.

I grew up at the Jersey Shore. Nuff said.

 

[MonaLittle]

Greetings from Asbury Park.

My parents LOVED Springsteen and I grew up listening to them listening to him. I've been a huge fan ever since.

 

[Kittyscave]

I do, as well. Jersey girl here. But, that's Billy Joel.

Yes!!!

I Love Springsteen. LOVE.HIM.

I bet the peeps at Lit don't, tho. Too Bad

I took month-long vacations in the stratosphere, and you know it's really hard to hold your breath

I swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared, I was the cosmic kid in full costume dress

Well, my feet they finally took root in the earth, but I got me a nice little place in the stars

There is nothing I don't love about that song. I always felt connected to that character.

Loneliness Is Just a Word
So I've Been told
Loneliness Becomes a World
That's very Cold

I like the line in Rob Zombie's Thunderkiss 65

I don't try anything, I just do it.

Wanna try me?

 

[Messier82]

Yes!!!

I Love Springsteen. LOVE.HIM.

"Wrap your legs round these velvet rims and strap your hands 'cross my engines"
Gives me goosebumps every time

Seen him in '85 in the UK on the Born in the USA tour (awesome), then a couple of years later on the Tunnel of Love tour (a very pissed off guy). What a difference bad marriage makes!

but there's a full moon rising
let's go dancing in its light
we know where the music's playing
let's go out and feel the night

 

[Fata Morgana]

Where on your palm is my little line,
When you're written in mine
As an old memory?

 

[butters]

not one line but utterly beautiful

And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
An echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine.



echoes - meddle - pf

 

[Adre]

Well I am an idiot walking a tightrope of fortune and fame
I am an acrobat swinging trapezes through circles of flame
If you've never stared off into the distance then your life is a shame
And though I'll never forget your face sometimes I can't remember my name

 

[barefootgirl69]

Not a single line...but I can't get enough of this:

One more drink leads to another
You slide up close to me
Tear the t-shirts off each other
Your hands all over me
I tell myself I'm not in love
But one more time is not enough
One last kiss and then you're a goner
And I'm here wishing you could stay a little longer

 

[MaBelle3120]

"Oh, don't mind me, I'm watching you two from the closet, wishing to be the friction in your jeans"

Fall Out Boy - Sugar We're Going Down

 

[VanV]

You told me again you preferred handsome men
but for me you would make an exception.

Leonard Cohen, Chelsea Hotel #2.

 

[Vanadorn]

Get out of here before I have the time
To change my mind. ‘Cause I’m afraid we’ll go too far.

Young Girl. A truly disturbing song if you listen to it and realize it seems to be about a budding pedophile and his young visitor.

"Fire, I bring you to burn!" Arthur brown

 

[hobbit.]

Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you,
I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do.

I am the resurrection and I am the life.

 

[RUlookingup]

I'd rather die on my feet, than live on my knees.

Hey Laurel, would you please change Sean's name back on this one?

Cause its always heartwarming to see his pure fluff thread be bumped up over and over.

...somewhere on a desert highway
She rides a Harley Davidson
her long blonde hair flying in the wind
she's been running half of her life...
The chrome and steel she rides
colliding with the very air she breathes
the air she breathes...
