Favorite one-line in a song

"The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face" from "Visions of Johanna" by Bob Dylan. Or, from the same song, "Mona Lisa musta had them highway blues, you can tell by the way she smiles."

The steppin razor i grew up listening to is by sublime. But thanks door that little bit of info. :)

The version of scarlet begonias that I grew up listening to is also by sublime. I didnt know that it was a grateful dead song until a few years ago.

i dont feel like diggin through my cd's but these lines should be given their resects (interpolated) in the liner notes
 
"Me and the Devil
Was walkin' side by side
Me and the Devil, woooo
Was walkin' side by side
And I'm going to beat my woman
'Til I get Satisfied."

"Me and The Devil Blues"
~Robert Johnson



"When you got a good friend
that will stay right by your side
Give her all of your spare time
love and treat her right."

"When You Got a Good Friend"
~Robert Johnson
 
"Scratchin' pain poems in hallways I'm trapped in
I think of Colepaugh taking his final breath
And the bullets that he lodged in David McDonald's chest
I swear to god that I felt the bullets too
In a homicide, suicide I sing the ocean blues"

not that deep as far as lyrical content, but the emotional delivery behind it is amazing
