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 )

Give me your love before mine fades away.

Tin Soldier - Small Faces

Cornered, the boy, kicked out at the world;
the world kicked back a lot fuckin' harder

Thank you for reminding me of the amazing Jethro Tull. A great favourite in my youth.

But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

Ok, two lines but this is genius from A Little More Time by the Beautiful South:

promises, promises turn to dust
wedding bells just turn to rust

Eurythmics - Don't cut me down when I'm talking to you, cause I'm much too tall to feel that small

The Smiths - I know it's over, still I cling, I don't know where else I can go

U2 - You act like you never had love and you want me to go without

The Smiths (not one line but I love this)

There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home and you cry
And you want to die

Mahna mahno do doo be-do-do

'I can put a tennis racket up against my face and pretend that I am Kendo Nagasaki'

I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

Two lines but hey ho!

Dying is easy, it's living that scares me to death

Act your age not your shoe size.

I think by Prince but I heard the Tom Jones version. I remember saying it to one of my brothers when he was being annoying. Mum thought it was a great quote!

'We were strangers, and then you came to stay'. Small Faces: Autumn Stone.

You could easily quote a hundred lines from Elbow in this thread. They’re amazing.

Everybody told me that you can't get far
With thirty seven dollars and a Jap guitar

Steve Earle, Guitar Town

Slightly longer than one line:

I know i make you cry
I know sometimes you wanna die
But do you really feel alive without me?
If so, be free
If not, leave him for me
Before one of us has
Accidental babies

Damien Rice

I also love:

You didn't measure up. In any measure of a man

Good old Taylor

"Everyone I love goes away in the end " - Hurt Nine Itch Nails , "Sooner or later in life the things you love you lose" You've got the love Florence and the Machines .

Seems I like maudlin lines :-)

"Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse"

Bruce Springsteen - The River

"And then one day you find, ten years have got behind you"
Time. Pink Floyd

Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet, and you exploded into my heart

Romeo and Juliet - Dire Straits

Beams and bridges cut the light on the ground/Into little triangles as the rails run round

Ironbound/Fancy Poultry - Suzanne Vega

In the way those eyes I’ve always loved illuminate this place, like a trash can fire in a prison cell.

The Mountain Goats

I made a picture of the lyrics for my boyfriend (before he was actually my boyfriend!)

The 1975
I like my men like I like my coffee
Full of soy milk and so sweet it won’t offend anybody

I absolutely love Romeo and Juliet - one of my favourite songs.

And when no hope was left in sight on that starry, starry night
You took your life, as lovers often do
But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

Vincent, Don McLean

Gets me every time!

A friend with weed is better

This is one of my favourites

and soooo many of their lyrics, I don't have time to post them

Also, a whole world in Sabrina Carpenter saying

"heartbreak is one thing, my ego's another"

I hear that!
