Favorite one-line in a song

Beach House - Zebra

You know you're gold, you don't gotta worry none
Oasis child, born and so wild
Don't I know you better than the rest
All deception, all deception from you


Bob Dylan - Masters of War

You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins
 
it's really all about that last line tho

you ain't worth the blood that runs in your veins

i mean you can hear the snarl, the disgust. what a statement for the anti war movement, that whole song.
 
I just got messaged sayin' "Yeah, hell has frozen over", I got a phone call for the lord, sayin "Hey boy get a sweater-

Right now."

Modest Mouse - Tiny Cities Made Of Ashes
 
^ I could list a ton of mm lyrics

Well, Cowboy Dan's a major player in the cowboy scene
He goes to the reservation drinks and gets mean
He drove the desert, fired his rifle in the sky
And says, "God if I have to die you will have to die"
Well, Cowboy Dan's a major player in the cowboy scene
He goes the the reservation drinks and gets mean
I didn't move to the city, the city moved to me

Yeah I actually like Eddie Vedder's cover over the original tbh
I'm like that with quite a few Dylan songs

Yep, huge MM fan here as well.

I don't know but I've been told
You never die, you never grow old

such an awesome, powerful song.

I have a few favourites...

"If I've no one to fight, how do I know who I am?" Emilie Autumn, One Foot in Front of the Other Foot
"I'd rather be alone than unhappy." CHVRCHES, It's Not Right But It's Okay
"I know you're not just what you say to me, and I'm not the only moment you're made of." Marilyn Manson, Evidence
"It's my business if I feel the need to smoke and drink and sway." Marina and the Diamonds, Are You Satisfied

and one more by EA...
"All the world is a judge, but that doesn't compare to what I do to myself when you're not there." Emilie Autumn, God Help Me. That's probably my most favourite out of all of them, but all of EA's lyrics are pretty great, imo.

Butterfingers -Everytime

Everytime I eat all bran I get the shits
But everytime I shit, it takes about an hour
And there's never any paper so I have to have a shower
But everytime I shower the towel is already wet
And it's not wet with water but wet with cum and sweat
 
Early in the mornin' rise into the street, light me up that cigarette and I'll strap shoes on my feet. Got to find a reason things went wrong, got to find a reason why my moneys all gone.

Sublime, What I Got
