Best single line from a song?

To start
“Really like those peaches wanna shake your tree

“Naked is a state of mind”
Luscious Jackson- Naked Eye

These words sparked a massive change in my life a decade ago…

“You’ve been hanging on like Cling-Free. In the dryer, you’re my sock.”

—Wavetrain

“I’m waking up at the start of the end of the world,
but its feeling just like every other morning before.”

-Matchbox 20 – How Far We’ve Come

lol…first thing that came to mind ^^

”...how wonderful life is, while you’re in the world.”

-Elton John, Your Song

“I don’t want to wait for some day, I just want to love right now” – Rocko Dorsey, Across the Sea

I like this line from Janet Jackson’s new song “Feedback”:

“something heavy like a first day period”

I think it’s hilarious!

(Lines actually): When you touch my weary head. And you tell me everything will be alright. Use my body for your bed. (Billy Joel)

‘I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer, the future’s uncertain and the end is always near.”
-Jim Morrison

Also,
“I’m on my way, I don’t know where I’m going, I’m on my way; I’m taking my time but I don’t know where.”
-Paul Simon

I’M NOT THE TYPE WHO LOSES SLEEP
OVER THE SIZE OF THE COMPOST HEAP
WHEN YOU’RE EXTRAORDINARY
YOU THINK ABOUT EXTRAORDINARY THINGS

They locked you,
they threw away the key,
sutured your mouth shut,
murdered your family,
right before your eyes,
what could you do,
right before your eyes,
they took it all from you.

Alkaline Trio – While you’re waiting

This is just what’s currently swimming in my head:

“Room games and diamond rain, its a fox hunt, its an f-stop, its a ten acre wood.” – The Silver Jews

“Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds.”

“No matter what comes your way, stick your chest out, keep your head up, and handle it.”

Tanto dalla salute mia son lunge.

lyrics by Petrarca, music by Monteverdi. It’s haunted me for nearly 20 years now.

Yahh, trick, yahh!!!

All you need is love.

[I can’t just select one line, so heres 5 from 5 songs]

I’ve got birds in my ear and a devil on my shoulder.

Don’t Cry. Don’t raise your eye. Its only teenage wasteland.

All you need is love.

Everybody knows the world is full of stupid people.

Cause maybe, you’re gonna be the one that saves me. After all, You’re my wonderwall.

“You may be right, I may be crazy. But it just may be a lunatic you’re looking for”

“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans”—-John Lennon (Beautiful Boy)

Here’s a quarter call someone who cares

“Hurts so good I got a soregasm.”

-Peaches

It’s hard to remember just one line, but here are some short verses:

Everything under the sun is in tune / but the sun is eclipsed by the moon
(Eclipse, Pink Floyd)

A guilty conscience / means at least you’ve got one
(Confessions of a drunken marionette, The Wallflowers)

It’s already over / We can’t move forward so let’s move on / bye bye
(It’s already over, Orson)

…and I would add this line, which is from a Charly Garcia’s song (Argentinian rock musician) and totally loses its intensity when translated:

Estaba en llamas cuando me acosté

It would be roughly translated as I was burning when I got to bed (or something like that)

puff daddy, puff daddy enough all ready, now its p-diddy, still sounds shi***!
-afroman, “whack rappers”

I’ve done a bit if smugglin’. I’ve run my share of grass. I made enough money to buy Miami but I pissed it away so fast. Never meant to last, never meant to last. Jimmy Buffett, A Pirate Looks at 40

Let’s pretend we don’t exist. Let’s pretend we’re in antartica. from “Wraith Pinned To The Mist & Other Games” by Of Montreal.

Meatloaf

I do the rock

Let’s do the Time Warp again

“Because with every kiss and every hug, you make me fall in love.”

WHEN YOU’VE SEEN BEYOND YOURSELF

THEN YOU MAY FIND PEACE OF MIND IS WAITING THERE

AND THE TIME WILL COME WHEN YOU SEE WE’RE ALL ONE

AND LIFE FLOWS ON WITHIN YOU AND WITHOUT YOU

It means “You have to breathe.”
