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'll take the medicine, you take the credit - this thing will get the better of you if you let it.

I want a man, not a boy who thinks he cannnnn - Too Much - Spice Girls👯‍♀️

' Okay, so you're Brad Pitt!'

"you're gonna make me lonesome when you go"
Bob Dylan

I think there needs to be a separate category for the kinks/ Jarvis/ elvis costello/ Cohen/dylans/squeeze/idles/ manics. The lyrics are the thing.

It's the surprisingly poetic lines from non poetic bands that I like.

Not that I can think of any now.

"I'd rather lose for what I am, than win for what I ain't"
Kacey Musgraves - Pageant Material

Let’s do some living after we die

Wild Horses/Rolling Stones
Always makes me think of people I’ve lost too soon, especially my mum .

Love that song - "you could make me cry if you don't know" - the lyrics are beautiful

"If I hadn't seen such riches I could live with being poor"

James

"You light up another cigarette and I pour the wine, it's four o'clock in the morning and it's starting to get light"

Beverley Craven

God, I've spent so many nights like that . .

@Chiseltip
how can you be so far away, lying by my side....

Brilliant song, thanks for reminding me, brings back so many memories of my twenties (not all good unfortunately!)

Hello darkness my old friend.
The sound of silence.

”l kissed a girl and l liked it!”

I've been on tour with Beverley Craven and she's a horrible, horrible person.
Plus the next line says she's losing track of time...so how does she know it's four o'clock in the morning!?

".......If I never loved I never would have cried....."

From "I Am A Rock" by Simon and Garfunkel

"I was looking for a job and then I found a job, and heaven knows I'm miserable now"

"And if a ten tonne bus crashes into us...tonight by your side well the pleasure, the privilege is mine"

Morrissey is such a fantastic songwriter.

Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast

Passenger - Let her go

@Daffiesmeanspring ..of course! I think starspangled rodeo was the name of the album.

You used to get it in your fish nets, now you only get it in your nightdress....Arctic Monkeys
Let you cut me open, just to watch me bleed, gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be...Linkin Park

Why so horrible?! 😬

Oh, I've just come across this thread and was going to post this line! It's the little gap between trash can fire and prison cell that does it. Such a good song, and v. envious of your artwork!

When I think about you I touch myself
DiVinyls

That’s Entertainment

I’d love to stay here and be normal, but it’s just so overrated

I’ve been a long term disappointment to myself, but it hits like a hammer, when I’m that to someone else

you’ve got the key to the ocean

My DH’s would be from Sad Captains by Elbow “And if it's so, we only pass this way but once, What a perfect waste of time”. Lovely 🥰
