Best single line lyric in a song?

Remember when I moved in you?
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah...
 
"So if you want my address it's number one at the end of the bar
Where I sit with the broken angels clutching at straws and nursing our scars..."

Pretty much sums me up somedays...
 
And it seems like the media immediately
Points a finger at me (finger at me)...
So I point one back at 'em, but not the index or pinkie
Or the ring or the thumb, it's the one you put up
When you don't give a fuck, when you won't just put up
With the bullshit they pull, 'cause they full of shit too
 
...Let me go swimming in your eyes
We've been running for awhile
Why don't you lay down and make me smile
I could never ask for something better than this
It's just teauila and the beach, that's why it's salty when we kiss
 
"Hello, hello, this is Romeo, calling from a jackpot telephone." Melissa Etheridge, No Souvenirs.
 
Don't know where you heard it
Don't know who's spreadin it round'
All I know is I'm clean as a whistle, baby
I didn't let the cat out...

Never Said Nothing
~ Liz Phair
 
I never was a violent man
Said the man in the bar with his head in his hands

Levellers - 15 years.
 
I saw a werewolf drinkin' a pina colada at Trader Vic's, and his hair was perfect

(Probably a repeat, but I aint gonna go look!)
 
Your head is humming and it won't go in case you don't know. The piper's calling you to join him!
(Led Zeppelin)

But, what's puzzling you is the nature of my game! (Rolling Stones)
 
I'm a slave for you. I cannot hold it; I cannot control it.
I'm a slave for you. I won't deny it; I'm not trying to hide it.
 
I'm gonna be a happy idiot and struggle for the legal tender.

The Pretender, Jackson Browne
 
This song....

The Unforgiven III"- Metallica

How could he know this new dawn's light
Would change his life forever?
Set sail to sea but pulled off course
By the light of golden treasure

Was he the one causing pain
With his careless dreaming?
Been afraid, always afraid
Of the things he's feeling
He could just be gone
He would just sail on
He'll just sail on

How can I be lost
If I've got nowhere to go?
Search for seas of gold
How come it's got so cold?
How can I be lost
In remembrance I relive
And how can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?

These days drift on inside a fog
It's thick and suffocating
This seeking life outside its hell
Inside intoxicating
He's run aground like his life
Water much too shallow
Slipping fast down with his ship
Fading in the shadows now

A castaway
They've all gone away
They've gone away

How can I be lost
If I've got nowhere to go?
Search for seas of gold
How come it's got so cold?
How can I be lost
In remembrance I relive
And how can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?

Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me
Why can't I forgive me?

Set sail to sea but pulled off course
By the light of golden treasure
How could he know this new dawn's light
Would change his life forever

How can I be lost
If I've got nowhere to go?
Search for seas of gold
How come it's got so cold?
How can I be lost
In remembrance I relive
So how can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?
 
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
 
And I can't stop 'til the whole world knows my name
'Cause I was only born inside my dreams
Until you die for me, as long as there's a light, my shadow's over you
'Cause I, I am the opposite of amnesia
And you're a cherry blossom
You're about to bloom
You look so pretty, but you're gone so soon
 
And I can't stop 'til the whole world knows my name
'Cause I was only born inside my dreams
Until you die for me, as long as there's a light, my shadow's over you
'Cause I, I am the opposite of amnesia
And you're a cherry blossom
You're about to bloom
You look so pretty, but you're gone so soon

Thats Japanese!
 
If you want the girl next door
Some Virgin Mary metaphor
Your cardboard cutout on the wall
Your paper or your Barbie doll
With perfect hair and a perfect dress
I'm really just the perfect mess
And I ain't nothing less or nothing more
So, baby, if you want the girl next door

Then go next door and go right now
And don't look back, don't turn around
And don't call me when you get bored
Yeah, if you want the girl next door
Then go next door.
