The Best Line Ever In A Song?

[ian90]

I was listening to "A Lack of Colour" by "Death Cab for Cutie" in the car...

"And when I see you... I really see you upside down.
But my brain knows better... it picks you up and turns you around."

Simple but clever I thought.

 

[Chrome]

well, not the best line, but i like it

"what priviledge to we have under the sun, that gives us right to the throne"

Embody the Invisible - In Flames

 

[Bardobeing]

"your such an inspiration for the ways that i will never ever choose to be"
two ends to the spectrum, your self confidence will pick the end where this line supports you all...

 

[offspringchik911]

there's soo many good ones. its more than a line.

"Overdose and then indulge until you die.
Pondering, we all ask the question why.
Broken home, and then abandoned by your dad.
And we are left the only family that you've ever had." by avenged sevenfold

 

[Sign Of The Fish Burger]

I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob g’goo goo g’joob.- The Beatles

 

[Nienor]

[Western Deity]

[Nienor]

[Western Deity]

Ok, I'll try to hear it some time .

"He said 'stop writing your battle rhymes and freestyle more'
I just smiled and thought 'now that's what I freestyle for'"
- Juice

 

[Non-ape Jase]

"I'll kiss you for each leaf on every tree..." - Hesitating Beauty (Billy Bragg and Wilco)

 

[nadroj1985]

The one I thought of first... of course, by Dylan:

"My friends from the prison... they ask unto me,
'How good, how good, does it feel to be free?'
And I answer them most mysteriously,
'Are birds free from the chains of the skyway?'"

From "Ballad in Plain D"

 

[MJ421]

Sorry, can't narrow it down to a single, guess you'll just to settle with a verse.

"My faith was so much stronger then,
I believed in fellow men,
And I was so much older then,
When I was young."

When I was Young

 

[Redneck]

"I'd love the spit some Beech Nut in that dude's eyes and shoot with my old .45..."

'A Country Boy Can Survive'- Bocephus

 

[Non-ape Jase]

"Um" - I'm a Wheel (Wilco)

 

[PACKY]

" Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Wo! have no fear for atomic energy,
’cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it’s just a part of it:
We’ve got to fulfil de book.
Won’t you help to sing
Dese songs of freedom? -
’cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs -
All I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom."


freedom song......BOB MARLEY

Bob Dylan has so many great lyrics:

From "Every Grain of Sand" (1981 - Shot of Love)
"I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand."

The there's "Tangled Up In Blue" (1975 - Blood On The Tracks)
So now I'm goin' back again,
I got to get to her somehow.
All the people we used to know
They're an illusion to me now.
Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenter's wives.
Don't know how it all got started,
I don't know what they're doin' with their lives.
But me, I'm still on the road
Headin' for another joint
We always did feel the same,
We just saw it from a different point of view,
Tangled up in blue.


Or maybe "The Times They Are A-Changin" (1964 - The Times They Are A-Changin)
Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.


Pick any one of hundreds of his songs. It's hard to pick my favorite.

[ErnestoChe]

"If you're lost, I got a bobble head jesus"

 

[Western Deity]

"I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand."
- Bob Dylan
