Best single line lyric in a song?

[Kittyscave]

"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!


On a completely different tack:
"She said I know you and you cannot sing, I said that's nothing you should hear me play piano."
The Smiths - The Queen is Dead

The Boss...

"You ain't a beauty, but, eh, you're all right. And that's all right with me."

 

[Blues]

...don't ask me what I think of you. I might not give the answer that you want me to. ~ Fleetwood Mac

 

[Lorilei]

I'm just a whisper of smoke,
I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire,
That once burned out of control,
You took my body and soul,
I'm just a ghost in this house

I don't care if it rains,
I don't care if it's clear,
I don't mind stayin' near,
There's another ghost here,
He sits down in your chair,
And he shines with your light,
And he lays down his head,
On your pillow at night

 

[lovetoread]

I can't tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now there's a steel knife in my windpipe
I can't breathe but I still fight while I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right it's like I'm in flight
High off her love, drunk from her hate,
It's like I'm huffing paint and I love her the more I suffer, I suffocate
And right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates me
She fucking hates me and I love it.
"Wait! Where you going?"
"I'm leaving you!"
"No you ain't. Come back."
We're running right back.
Here we go again
It's so insane cause when it's going good, it's going great
I'm Superman with the wind at his back, she's Lois Lane
But when it's bad it's awful, I feel so ashamed I snapped
Who's that dude?
"I don't even know his name."
I laid hands on her, I'll never stoop so low again
I guess I don't know my own strength

[BoyNextDoor]

Some will beg for forgiveness
From someone above
For something they did
To someone they love

 

[Saint Peter]

don't make a fuss
just get on the bus

he said an honest man's pillow is his peace of mind

 

[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

 

[y=mx+b]

It's four o'clock in the morning; damn it, listen to me good
I'm sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time, thank god my music's still alive.

 

[lovetoread]

What if I told you
It was all meant to be
Would you believe me,
Would you agree
It's almost that feelin'
That we've met before
So tell me that you don't think I'm crazy
When I tell you love has come and now...

Pissin' all my money up against the damn wall... (Bow River - Cold Chisel)

 

[y=mx+b]

Wherever I am
you'll always be

More than just a memory

If I ever
leave this world




alive.

 

[Miasorrow]

How Soon Is Now?

You shut your mouth how can you say

 

[y=mx+b]

Fate
Up against your will
Through thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

 

[ElizabethWest]

You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much

 

[MallardGoodbody]

i can safely say, "pretty much anything spoken on any recording by Dessa from Doomtree"

 

[lovetoread]

I found myself dreaming
In silver and gold
Like a scene from a movie
That every broken heart knows we were walking on moonlight
And you pulled me close
Split second and you disappeared and then I was all alone

I woke up in tears
With you by my side
A breath of relief
And I realized
No, we're not promised tomorrow

 

[Lancecastor]

I believe in this and its been tested by research,

He who fucks nuns will later join the church.

 

[StrangeView]

He makes you laugh he brings you out in style
He treats you well and makes you up real fine
And when he's strong he's strong for you
And when you kiss it's something new
But did you ever call my name
Just by mistake?

 

[BotanyBoy]

I hang with a bunch of hippies
and wacky tobacco planters
Who swallow lit roaches
and light up like jack-o-lanterns
Outsiders baby, and we suing the courts
Cause we're dope as fuck and only get a 2 in the source
They never should've booted me out of reform school
Deformed fool,taking a shit in a warm pool
They threw me out the Ramada Inn
I said it wasn't me, I got a twin

Oh my god its you! Not again!

 

[lovetoread]

All my ladies, listen up
If that boy ain't giving up
Lick your lips and swing your hips
Girl all you gotta say is

My name is no
My sign is no
My number is no
You need to let it go
You need to let it go
Need to let it go
Nah to the ah to the no, no, no
My name is no
My sign is no
My number is no
You need to let it go
You need to let it go
Need to let it go
Nah to the ah to the no, no, no

 

[pointless]
