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 )

She's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever
Jeff Buckley

Also,

September's coming soon
I'm pining for the moon

REM, Nightswimming

You kept me like a secret but I kept you like an oath

How the death rattle breathing, silenced as the soul was leaving, the deflation of our feelings, leaving me bereft and reeling, my beloved ghost and me, sitting in a tree, d-y-i-n-g

Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first.

The skeletons in both our closets plotted gard to fuck this up.

Please don't ever become a stranger whose laugh I would recognise anywhere.

Just the mention of your name turns a flicker to a flame.
Misty Blue , Dorothy Moore

I think it needs both lines for that gutwrench!

You call me up again just to break me like a promise, so casually cruel in the name of being honest.

Because we've all been with THAT man!

Had it been another day I might've looked the other way and I'd have never been aware,
But as it is I'll dream of her tonight....

Sally Cinnamon, you are my world.

All I want to do is be more like me and be less like you.

I'm going missing for a while.

It was only a kiss.

"I didn't lose my mind, it was mine to give away"
Robbie Williams

Playing house in the ruins of us

Blinking and stoned, rain in your hair, you only smoke cos it’s something to share

Long ago it must be, I have a photograph, preserve your memories, they’re all that’s left

And so it is, just like you said it would be, life goes easy on me, most of the time

Don’t these times, fill your eyes

And someone is playing a game, in the house that I grew up in

The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return

It was one of my dads sayings too!

There's a hole in my soul, you can see it on my face, it's a real big place.
Robbie Williams Feel

"You light up my world like the morning sun"😭😭😭

Now- The Carpenters.

Very poignant because it was the last song they recorded, about a year before Karen's passing.

But all the wonders I have seen, I will see a second time
From inside of the ages through your eyes

From 'The Mother' by Brandi Carlile

All of the above!!!

Also

I'm so sick of running as fast as I can, wondering if I'd get there quicker if I were a man

This burn in me is the coolest thing I've ever felt.

I melt - Rascall Flats

Guilty feet ain't got no rhythm

Now you're lifting me up instead of holding me down, stealing my heart instead of stealing my crown. Untangled all the strings round my wings that were tied. Now I remember what it feels like to fly, you give me butterflies

Heard this live a few weeks after leaving a crappy relationship and had already met now DH. It told me the reason it was okay to jump into something new.

I get a peaceful, easy feeling and I know you won't let me down cos I'm already standing on the ground.

Not RTFT so apologies if I duplicate

Do You Realise - Flaming Lips
“You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round”

A New England - Kirsty McColl
“I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them but they were only satellites
Is it wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care”

Higher Power - Coldplay
“This joy is electric
This joy is electric and you're circuiting through
I'm so happy that I'm alive
Happy I'm alive at the same time as you”

Sometimes - James
“Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul”

Who wants to live forever? Who dares to love forever? When love must die

And I was never good at telling jokes but the punchline goes, I'll get older but your lovers stay my age

Make sure you can picture tomorrow today.
Madeline bell.. picture me gone

When you get where you're goin'
Don't forget turn back around
And help the next one in line
Always stay humble and kind

I want a house with a crowded table and a place by the fire for everyone.

Turn off the news and build a garden

All country songs with simple values and not about love!

Ah, finally someone has mentioned some of Gary Kemps gorgeous lyrics.... Through the Barricades is an amazing song.

Ah so many! I think my faves are:

There’s no perfume I can buy
Make me smell like myself
She Said
So I put on perfume
To make me smell like someone else
In bed (Longpigs)

when my face is chamois creased (Elbow)

When I was eight I had a friend
With a pirate smile (Cyndi Lauper)

So much I loved her
that it took, to learn
to forget her, nineteen days
and five hundred nights. (Joaquin Sabina)
tanto la quería,
que, tardé, en aprender
a olvidarla, diecinueve días
y quinientas noches.
