Favorite one-line in a song

When you think the night has seen your mind,
When inside your twisted and unkind,
Let me stand to show that you are blind. --VU

"Marylin Mansons real name isn't even Marylin Manson - he's a skinny public highschool kid from florida, not some monster from out of this world..."

"Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream
Wave upon wave of demented avengers marched cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream"

I always loved that line.
 
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and class less and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see

^great song

PINK FLOYD TIME
"And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death"
 
"Sailing heart-ships through broken harbors, out on the waves in the night
Still the searcher must ride the dark horse, racing alone in his fright"

Neil Young - Tell Me Why
 

When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonder
I can think at all

Paul Simon - Kodachrome
 
"fire in the blue sky when he hits you in the mouth, this is a war and not a warning"

"All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel.
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save.
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy,
beg, borrow or steal.
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say.
All that you eat
And everyone you meet
All that you slight
And everyone you fight.
All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon."

Yes, more than one line... but a powerful passage nonetheless.

If you didn't know, it's Pink Floyd - Eclipse (on Dark Side of the Moon)
 
And with his eye of compassion.
He saw his enemies like unto himself,
And he learned love.
Then, he was answered.

A line from The Moody Blues song The Balance.
