Greatest ONE LINE from a song!

[Clawdy]

For me, it's :
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose. (Me And Bobby McGee )

Last one from me :

Go on now go, walk out the door, just turn around now, you're not welcome anymore, you're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye, did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Greg Lakes “The Christmas we get we deserve” from “I believe in Father Christmas” always gets to me

Sooo many good, cutting, savage lines from the pen of Mr Weller. Amazing songwriter!

Another brilliant wordsmith Chris Rea… s story in many of his songs and a sublime guitarist.

One of my all time favourite songs

"I've got a lot of good things coming my way, and I'm afraid to say that you're not one of them"😄
Box Elder, by Pavement

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year

"Leave tonight or live and die this way" Tracy Chapman. This lyric literally saved my life when I was in a DV relationship.

I took her advice.

The power of greed and anger always frightens me

There's been a lot compromising on the way to my horizon

Starspangled rodeo by Glenn Campbell

Club Tropicana drinks are free.

(I'll get me coat)

There's a guy down the chip shop swears he's Elvis, but he's a liar and I'm not sure about you

and in the end the love you take, is equal to the love you make

No one told you when to run
🏃‍♀️
you missed the starting gun……..

Take back what I paid
For another motherfucker in a motorcade

Vision Thing, SOM

I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you've got to walk away now, it's over

Dry your Eyes, The Streets

I wandered out in the world for years, you just stayed in your room.

I'm a huge Elvis Costello fan - one of my favourites is:

Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl.
And with the way you look I understand
That you are not impressed.

Especially as it's followed by:

But I heard you let that little friend of mine
Take off your party dress.

To be a rock and not to roll.
Led Zeppelin.

For some unknown reason that line often comes into my head as an earworm.
Rest in peace Kirsty Mc Coll.

A long December and there's reason to believe maybe this year will be better than the last

A Long December , Counting Crows

But my girl has my heart in a house half a planet away
And I'd rather murder than hurt her
So sorry though it feels so right
I'm gonna take lonely tonight

I'll take lonely tonight, Tim Minchin

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

And if it's so, we only pass this way but once
What a perfect waste of time

My Sad Captains by Elbow

That is country music in a nutshell though...

True.
