Favorite one-line in a song

This story's funny
I met this girl, and she had money
In vast abundance
Goo-goo gobs, I mean redundance
Her eyes were hazel
Her dress was suede, her voice was nasal
I found her so fly
But for the life of me, I didn't know why
 
On Raglan Road on an Autumn Day,
I saw her first and knew
That her dark hair would weave a snare
That I may one day rue.
 
I caught myself listening to "Moon River" by Henry Mancini, when watching an old movie yesterday.
It´s tacky I know but I was pretty impressed about how life was in the early 60´s. No computers, lots of books, romance yet a hard life for the middle class.
I was not even born, but I would have liked to live in that generation.


 
My heart is broke
But I have some glue
Help me inhale
And mend it with you
We'll float around
And hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down
And have a hangover.

DUMB
 
You should see Polythene pam,
She's so good looking but she looks like a man,
you should see her in drag dressed in her polythene bag
see polythene pam.
 
^^Always loved 'Dumb', those lyrics in particular. Nice and easy to sing, too. I remember being so disappointed at not being able to sing much Nirvana after my voice broke lol


Well I'm sitting on my watch,
So I can be on time,
I'm singing love's praises,
With sugar-coated rhyme

Dylan - Bye and Bye

Yeah those lyrics really stand out in the song!

I remember being so disappointed when I recorded myself playing territorial pissings on guitar and singing the lyrics at the age of 14. Only to listen back to it and realise that I sound like a tone deaf chipmunk :D

Well at least now you can do Johnny Cash songs with those oh-so-low balls ;)
 
Johnny's not too much of a problem. It's singing George Jones that's impossible. I fear I may have overstepped the line into 'not cool' now :o
 
"If we touched it would disturb the calm
Physical effort often causes mental harm;
I don't have the energy -
You could say things get pretty tranquil with me"
