Favorite one-line in a song

You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees

Nine inch nails - Right where it belongs
 
"I live for drugs, they're great.
I freaked out very, very badly.
I freaked out, on acid."

The Thrill Kill Kult.
 
too many, good thread. more than one liners

Mouthful of cavities
Your souls a bowl of jokes
And everyday you remind me
How I'm desperately in need

See, I got a lot of fiends around
And they're peaking through nothing new
They see you
They see everything you do

See everything on the inside, out

Oh, please give me a little more
And I'll push away those baby blues
Cause one of these days this will die
So will me and so will you
Blind Melon - Mouthful of cavities

Cuz over there there’s broken bones
There’s only music so that there’s new ring tones.
Arctic Monkeys – A certain romance

And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
Foo Fighters - Everlong
 
Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doin' it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin' for a new friend
The man in the coon-skin cap
In the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten

Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin' that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the D. A.
Look out kid
Don't matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Don't try "No Doz"
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows

Get sick, get well
Hang around a ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell
If anything is goin' to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail
Join the army, if you fail
Look out kid
You're gonna get hit
But users, cheaters
Six-time losers
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow leaders
Watch the parkin' meters

Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don't wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handles

Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues
 
Well, I've been down so Goddamn long
That it looks like up to me
Well, I've been down so very damn long
That it looks like up to me
Yeah, why don't one you people
C'mon and set me free

Been Down So Long by THE DOORS
 
i can understand stretching things to a couple of lines - maybe to keep a rhyme intact. quoting the entire 70 lines of a song kind of misses - or just ignores - the point of the thread...

2Pac - Staring Through My Rearview

"I'm getting hotter, 'cause the world's getting colder"

here I am like 10 years after this song was released and I actually hear that for the first time

as the world got worse (as it continues to do), it only gave 'Pac more fuel

what a fuckin dude

I like mine better still
 
a chilling line i can sumtimes relate to (except im female) appears in the song 'fade to black' (metallica) - 'I WAS ME BUT NOW HE HAS GONE'
 
"I asked him for mercy, he gave me a gun"...Bob Weir/Ace 'The Greatest Story Ever Told' ...(Probably because I just listened to it...but it rings truer all the time)
 
You're older than you've ever been and now you're even older, and now you're even older, and now you're older still.
