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 )

'From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads'

love me a bit of Savage Garden (and Darren Hayes)

I am not in love, but I’m open to persuasion

Paul Heaton is one of the most talented lyricists you could find.

'Took me out to wine, dine, 69 me,
but didn't hear a damn word I said'
Right Through You - Alanis Morrisette

'We ain't angry at you, love
You're the greatest thing we've lost'
You're gonna go far - Noah Kahan (whole song wrecks me)

'And the best that you can hope for
Is to die in your sleep'
The Gambler - Kenny Rogers

I like Paul Heatons lyrics too!
He wrote some great lines

"My soul belongs to God, I know.
I made that bargain long ago."

"They'll call us lonely when we're really just alone"
Oblivious - Aztec Camera.
As an introvert who really enjoys being alone I love this line.

"Acting out the opus of your last eternal ache"

Orville Peck, The Curse of the Blackened Eye.

Brilliant, heart-rending song about escaping domestic abuse - not ashamed to say I found it because lovely Norman Reedus is in the video.

‘and of all those kinds of people
you’ve got a face with a view;
I’m just an animal looking for a home, and
share the same space for a minute
or two’ - this must be the place, talking heads

‘he stood looking through the lace at the face of the conquered moon’ - Willie, Joni Mitchell

‘Once upon a time at home
I sat beside the telephone
Waiting for someone to pull me through
When at last it didn't ring, I knew it wasn't you’ - A New England, Kirsty MaColl

’And while I’m alive, I’ll make tiny changes to earth’ - heads roll off, frightened rabbit

"I would go out tonight but I haven't got a stitch to wear"

This Charming Man - The Smiths

And that chip stains and grease will come out in the bath

Raised on a diet of broken biscuits

McAlmott and Butler - “Have you forgot whatever it was that you couldn’t stand about me?”

Love this line. Also from the same song:

Yesterday is dead, but not my memory

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy (sung by Tom Waits, but he didn't invent it)

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you. (Carly Simon)

What would an angel say? The devil wants to know! (Fiona Apple)

I was looking for a job and then I found a job, and heaven knows I'm miserable now (The Smiths)

Someone left the cake out in the rain (Jimmy Webb)

Baby come back! Yes, with me colour TV and me CD collection of Bob Marley. (UB40 and Pato Banton)

Raspberry Beret - "She walked in through the out door" - it shows her personality so well

And when the sun descended and the night arose
I heard my father cursing everyone he knows
He was dangerous and drunk and defeated
and corroded by failure and envy and hate

Objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

Sorry I know you said one line but....

It's hard to get by when your arse is the size of a small country

National Express by The Divine Comedy

Beautiful song, I walked down the aisle to this.

I'm as honest as the day is long
The longer the daylight, the less I do wrong

Madness, 'Shut up'

‘I didn’t lose my mind, it was mine to give away’
Robbie Williams, No Regrets

There were times when I could
Have murdered her
But you know, I would hate
Anything to happen to her

"As if I'd never noticed the way she brushed her hair from her forehead"

Paul Simon, Graceland

"Beat me on the bottom with a Woman's Weekly"
