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 )

"I'm especially good at expectoration,"
together with the antlers in home decoration, is fairly genius.

I find myself muttering the lyrics of Common People rather a lot, too.

"The birds like tender babies in your hands"

-Jimmy Webb, MacArthur Park.

There are so many brilliant lyrics in that song.

I though the lyric was ‘I’m glad I’m a man and so’s Lola.’
(Just seems to have extra ambiguity.)

Like some of Squeeze..

'I never thought it would happen with me and the girl from Clapham' (from Up the Junction) because it makes you want to know what the story is.

Also by Squeeze. 'The past has been bottled, and labelled with love.'

By multi-millionaire Lennon.
Another one to remember from him -
‘I used to be cruel to my woman
I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved.’

'It's a sad man my friend who's living in his own skin, and can't stand the company.'
Bruce Springsteen, Better Days

'There but for the grace of you go I'
Simon and Garfunkel, Kathy's Song

Was going to post this @StMarie4me!

I was coming here to say this!

I came on to say this! Cracking lines.

Also:
There is no true love, just a finely tuned jealousy.

But it was clear as kerosene he got what he deserved.

Just because he's a male don't make him a man.

I'm in an angry country phase!

'I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again'

James Taylor 'Fire and Rain'.

Reminds me of my uni best friend and flatmate who died a couple of years ago.

The devil came and took me, from bar to street to bookie

One of the greatest ever love songs, i think

That whole song is brilliant story telling.

Despair and deception, loves' ugly little twins

"In my dreams I was drowning my sorrows
But my sorrows they learned to swim"

• Until the End of the World - U2

"You left my heart empty as a vacant lot
for any spirit to haunt"

• Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses- U2

It's funny how I could never cry until the night when you passed by hand in hand with another guy, you're dressed to kill and guess who's dying?
(Dance Away, Roxy Music)

One of my faves overall

Maybe an appropriate one these days:
"But what might save us, me and you, is if the the Russians love their children too"

(Sting, Russians)

"Suzanne, the plans they had put an end to you"

such a sad backstory. Horrifying how psych patients were treated back then.I'm sorry for your loss too @LuluBlakey1

Yes! Just reading that gave me goosebumps

I don't wanna die, but I'm not keen on living either
Robbie Williams

"It's six o'clock in the tower blocks, those stalagmites of culture shock"

Marillion, Heart of Lothian

I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't.

Bonnie Raitt

She curls around me, like a fern in the Spring - John Martyn

or for cleverness -
