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 )

Walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme

"She said "losing love is like a window in your heart. . ."

"You promised me everything,
You promised me thick and thin yeah,
Now you say "oh Romeo yeah,
You know I used to have a scene with him!"

Nobody blends self-deprecating humour and a broken heart better than Mark Knopfler.

Oh turn around and I'll be there
There's a scar right through my heart but I'll bear it again

Spandau, Through the Barricades, always thought it was so much underrated

"No car for kissing and nowhere to go,
Except inside each other and I loved you so."

Windy Town - Chris Rea

A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle - U2

Players only love you when they're playing

Dreams Fleetwood Mac

I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time
Witchita Lineman

Its an absolutely beautiful line. Bob Dylan said once its the best pop song ever written

That is one of my all-time favourite songs, from one of their best albums. Now I'm going to have to go and listen to it. 😀

I am an old romantic.

"You'll never find, a love like mine." Lou Rawls.

"Why do birds suddenly appear, when you're near? Just like me, they want to be, close to you." Carol Carpenter.

It is all in the delivery and they nail it.

Can I have two?

I was kissing Valentino by a crystal blue Italian steam.

Some days I just pray to the Gods of sex and drums and rock and roll.

Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?

Pink, it's like red but not quite.

Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies
Give me no reasons, Give me alibis.

great lines from a great song

And I'm pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free

So Long, London. Taylor Swift

Bitter? Moi?
Too fucking right.
Very happy now though💖
I'm mid 50s , not your average Swiftie!

Oh when we woke up that morning we had no way of knowing that in a matter of hours we'd change the way we were going. Pulp - Something Changed.

Old romantic here as well.

We are stardust, we are golden,
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden...

Not read the full thread but
Been listening to this one a lot recently
"At the age of thirty-seven
She realised she'd never ride
Through Paris in a sports car
With the warm wind in her hair"

Actually is that line not from ‘“Me and Bobbie McGee”, written by Kris Kristofferson?
JJ also covered it.
Great song.

before we don't even have to try?

We left in plastic as numbered corpses”
