Favorite one-line in a song

Saw your first ship sink and drown from rocking of the boat
And all that could not sink or swim was just left there to float
I won't leave you driftin' down, but whoa it makes me wild
With thirty years upon my head to have you call me child


Grateful Dead, Ship of Fools

couldn't keep it to just one line.. oops

^^ That song is called 'Life's A Bitch' from NaS's first album titled 'Illmatic'. This tune, with its unforgettable instrumental and incredible lyrics, is one of NaS's best, no doubt.

A tune to download ASAP...

I love you like tar" -Nonfiction- The Black Crowes - Southern Harmony and Musical Companion
 
"Now baby, don't be sad
In my opinion you weren't half bad."

Sublime, Date Rape
 
OP: yep, that's a great line alright.

Here's another of my faves from the Pumpkins, er....Billy.

"I'm all by myself
As I've always felt"
-Soma
 
"It's 1969 in my head
I just wanna have no place to go
Livin' through the sound of the dead
I'm gonna get stoned, look round at my soul..."

The Vines

Loved this couple lines posted before too

"Life's not a bitch; life is a beautiful woman
you only call her a bitch cause she won't let you get that pussy"

-aesop rock
 
do mc lyrics count?
i'm gonna put them anyway
sit back, sit back again, sending rushes thru your body, body to the brain, drivin in your car, driving up the fast lane, we come from every city, we're comin on a train now this is hardcore, hardcore, hardcore we gain rushes take you higher, take u higher than than a plain. mc ruskal, tfi 2nd b'day

and eminem sing for the moment - sieze the momont try to freeze it and own it, squeeze it and hold it cos' we consider these minutes golden, and maybe we'll admit it when we're gone just let our lyrics live on thru the music that you hear in our songs
 
"Censorship is murder to our individual thoughts"
Static thought- infiltrate

or my old standard "I dont remember hearing how moses reacted when the innocent firstborn sons lay dead"
Bad religion- dont pray on me
 
Each hole in her tongue is always occupied by the milk of the sun.
Devendra Banhart
 
i use to be really into this one

If I could make the world as pure and strange as what I see,
I'd put you in the mirror,
I put in front of me.
 
"you's a penguin-lookin muthafucka."
-Dr. Dre's The Chronic 1992

still makes me laugh.
 
"Don't cry now. Don't you cry, don't you cry anymore... Sleep in the stars. Don't you cry, dry your eyes on the wind" - Robert Hunter/Bird Song

There in the shade and hid from the sun we freed our minds and learned
Our greatest reason for being here, our bodies moved and burned
There on our mountain bed of leaves we learned life's reason why
The people laugh and love and dream, they fight, they hate to die

Remember the Mountainbed - Guthrie/Bragg & Wilco
