Favorite one-line in a song

[lostpunk5545]

My body is a temple and tonight I'll tear it down

Turbonegro - Wasted Again

 

[AmorRoark]

"But if I lived til I was 102, I just don't think I'll ever get over you" - Colin Hay

 

[MyDoorsAreOpen]

"They know that beige is the color of resignation."
-- Beck, 'Broken Train'

 

[straycatphizzle]

" And there are trap doors, that you can never come back from"

Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors- Radiohead

 

[Spackeradder]

I got a few:

"How terribly strange to be 70..." -- Simon and Garfunkel, Old Friends.

I've never found a better description of what it must feel like to be old.

"Well what can I tell you, my brother, my killer? What can I possibly say? I guess that I miss you... I guess I forgive you. I'm glad you stood in my way." -- Leonard Cohen, Famous Blue Raincoat.

"And you know SOMETHING is happening, but you don't know what it is... Do you, Mr. Jones?" -- Bob Dylan, Ballad of a Thin Man.

One of my favorite Dylan songs, hell, one of my favorite songs of all time. The chorus is so bitterly snide and tauntingl. Love it.

"And you think you're so clever and classless and free... but you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see." -- John Lennon, Working Class Hero

"And the people bowed and prayed to the neon God they made." Simon and Garfunkel, Sounds of Silence.

The message of that song has only grown in relevance since the 60s.

"No one's frightened of playing it, everyone's slaying it, flowing more freely than whine, all through the day: 'ImemineImemineImemine'" -- The Beatles, I Me Mine.

Another song that's only become increasingly truthful with age.

"And we can force you to be free! And we can force you to believe!" -- David Bowie, Cygnette Comitte.

All I can think of right now.

I'd like to change my entry:

"I'll be your whatever you want"
-- The Breeders, "Cannonball"

I'm all that and then some, short dark and handsome. Bust a nut inside your eye to show you where I come from.

[psycosynthesis]

You don't throw your life away, going inside. You get to know who's watching you, and who besides you resides in your body.

John Frusciante-Going Inside

 

[Alice_Chipper]

You can't understand the users mind but try with your books and degree. If you let yourself go and open your mind I bet you'd be doing like me.... and it aint so bad.

Junkhead - Alice In Chains

 

[dankstersauce]

"I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad, the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had"

[LouReed]

Mr. Uplift Mofo - my man Bo Diddley
hit sippin' a bottle of nickle ripple
play the lickity split finger licking licks
for all you wicked city slick chicks
and all you nitty gritty hick
we'll make your nipples ripple
make you wanna dip your dipple
make you wanna soak your hickory stick
because my man has a grip on it
and I do mean on it
which brings to mind
a very sinister minister kind of guy
a man named Little Richard
born to make them bitches stir
that's right he'll make the sweet substance drip
from the middle of your hillbilly lips
and like the farmer milk his cow
the Howling Wolf will howl
and since times does allow
you all can

Backwoods - Red Hot Chili Peppers

"Smite the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered." Lamb of God - Vigil

 

[HighOfTheTiger]

Don't be afraid (of) what your mind conceives, you should make a stand, stand up for what you believe.
Muse - Invincible

"I liked the way my head looked on your hand... in the presence of my knuckles"
