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 )

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time

Time After Time Cindy Lauper

But tell me,where do the children play?
Where do the children play Cat Stevens

My love has got no money, he’s got his trombolese.

Also

"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls"
Simon & Garfunkel - Sound of Silence

"While American businessman snap up van Goughs for the price of a hospital wing"
Del Amitri _ Nothing Ever Happens

There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Dire Straits, Brothers in Arms. Every line is perfection.

All the flowers that you planted mama in the back yard all died when you went away.

Miniskirts were in style
When she walked down the aisle
Back in '63
But it's hard to get by
When your arse is the size
Of a small country

National Express, Divine Comedy
Cracks me up every time!

Another Dire Straits

You get a shiver in the dark
It's a raining in the park but meantime...

Love it

The same events shuffled
In a slightly different order each day
Just like a modern shopping centre

Pulp - Feeling called love

Also from the same song, the way Jarvis delivers "But this isn't chocolate boxes and roses
It's dirtier than that
Like some small animal that only comes out at night" makes me come over all unnecessary.

Thanks. I just always thought I'd see him again, whenever I left him. Never crossed my mind that I wouldn't.

When love breaks down
You join the wrecks
Who leave their hearts for easy sex

Prefab Sprout, When Love Breaks Down
so many i could have chosen from

And I ain’t counting sheep (sheeeeep)

You came like a comet, blazing your trail

Whole of the Moon, The Waterboys

"You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to"
Pink Floyd - Animals

"Spare a thought for the homeless tramp who wishes he were dead"
Lindisfarne _ Winter's Song

Also “I am the egg man, I am the walrus” wtf

This

Great to see so many commonalities. Lots of Paul Simon, and witchita lineman probably does win the ultimate crown.

Myself I like almost everything from I Know It's Over

I know it's over, and it never really began
But in my heart it was so real
...
If you're so very entertaining, then why are you on your own tonight?
...
With your triumphs and your charms, that's why they're in each other's arms, tonight

...and almost everything else of early Morrissey. Before he became a racist.

'From Cullercoats to Whitley bay
to Rockaway
And, girl it looks so pretty to me
Like it always did
Like the Spanish city to me
When we were kids'

'Tunnel of Love' Dire Straits- it's about home.

Two small magicians, each with a jam jar
Cast spells on the water with hazel twig wands.

Barges - Ralph McTell

Beautiful! The George Michael cover of this is sublime.

Looking for treasure in the things that you threw
Like a magpie, I live for glitter not you

Mika, We are golden.

You have never been in love
Until you’ve seen the dawn rise
Behind the home for the blind
MORRISSEY - FIRST OF THE GANG TO DIE.

Imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks
When it lands, will my eyes be closed or open
BJORK - HYPERBALLAD.

The stars will explode in the sky
But they don’t. Do they?
Stars live a moment then they die
NICK CAVE - ARE YOU THE ONE THAT I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR.

Til your hair becomes a powdered wig
And I become a total bastard
RUFUS WAINWRIGHT - LITTLE SISTER.

🎼I never thought this would happen to me, I never thought this is where I'd be.

And when no hope was left in sight on that starry, starry night, you took your life as lovers often do.

Vincent - Don McLean

Why ponder life's complexities when the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat ..

I think it's ponder
Many think it's pamper

I'm just always happy to hear This Charming Man

And he carries the reminder
Of every glove that laid him down or
Cut him, till he cried out...

The Boxer, Simon and Garfunkel
