what is your favorite line from a song?

i have been thinking about it for awhile now and just can't decide
whats yours though?

 

from The Tragically Hip's Fifty-Mission Cap

"Bill Barilko disappeared, that summer
He was on a fishing trip
The last goal he ever scored
Won the Leaf's the cup
The didn't win another, til 1962
The year he was discovered
I stole this from a hockey card"

so its not really a line...but the one bolded is the one that is awesome, but you need the whole thing to set it up...

 

" Cold silence has the tendancy to atrophy any sense of compassion"
- Tool "Schism"

 

I want to fuck you like a wild animal-Closer nineinch nails

 

Imagine There's no heaven - you all know what it is ...

 

"Dreams unwind, love's a state of mind"-'Rhiannon' by Fleetwood Mac

 

I don't have a favourite line, but I have a favourite verse:

I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
In our eyes are mirror images and when
We kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate that God himself
Did make us into corresponding shapes like
Puzzle pieces from the clay
And true, it may seem like a stretch, but
Its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
Head when you're away when I am missing you to death
When you are out there on the road for
Several weeks of shows and when you scan
The radio, I hope this song will guide you home

 

It's a state of affairs a wave of disbelief
Innocent people everywhere
Being pushed out into the street
With their guards up and their spirits down
Sea to shining sea, town to burning town
That's the way it is here in broken promised land

What's the difference between a halo and a crown
What's the difference between a jester and a clown
When you gotta choose one here
In broken promised land

There's a boy on the corner
Selling rock to get you high
He'd probably sell his soul
But nobody wants to buy
Souls don't bring much these days
Here in broken promised land

It's a fine line we pray we never have to cross
Into the other side into the land of the lost
There's a whole lotta people that got a little off track
Life was just an adventure now they can't find their way back

Can you tell me what is left to hold onto
If you take away my pride
Ain't no telling what I might do
If you lock me away while the guilty walk free
You might as well take my life
Make a real free man of me
'Cause this sure ain't freedom
Sure don't taste like freedom
Here in broken promised land


Warren Haynes - Broken Promised Land.

 

"When you see me fly away without you, shadow on the things you know, feathers fall around you, and show you the way to go."

 

Birds by Neil Young, I fucking love that line.

It's ovvvvvverrrr...

 

it's supposed to be a line, not the entire song people.


i dunno right now. the one that comes to mind at the moment, though, is....

"before i sink into the big sleep i want to hear...i want to hear the scream of the butterfly" yeah. guess who.

 

Come waste your time with me.

 

Yeah Orsino2 I too have always loved that line. I think that is what I want on my tombstone.

 

that's because you're 20.


i'm mean. sorry.

but yeah. it won't matter when you're dead....

 

"though their course may change sometimes,
rivers always reach the sea."

 

for humor....


I know I'm not the worlds most masculine man
but I know what I am and I am a man
so is lola
lo lo lo lo lola

you have to hear the whole song for the full impact....

for raw favoritism it'd have to be something from the last resort or don't leave me still wonderin' by the eagles and flogging molly respectivly..... those are great songs....

 

Right now there's a lot going on in *the head* so

Excessive flash points,
beyond all reach
Solitary demands for all
I'd like to keep
Let's take a ride out,
see what we can find
Valueless collection of hopes
and past desires

I never realized the lengths
I'd have to go
All the darkest corners of a sense
I didn't know
Just for one moment -
hearing someone call
Looked beyond the day in hand
There's nothing there at all

Joy Divison---24 Hours

 

"tell the truth, you wouldn't dare" megadeth - countdown to extinction.

 

wouldn't I?

I know I probably would when I haven't taken my meds..... especially if it's related to violence......

 

Give me the beat boys to free my soal

I wanna get lost in your rock'n roll and drift away. Give me the beat boys
