What's your favorite line from a song ?

[odie]

" They can't fix yer brakes
You ask 'em " Where's my motor ? "
" Well it was eaten by snakes...
You can stab 'n' shoot 'n' spit
But they won't be fixin' it "

Plus ...

" I'm a moron 'n' this is my wife
She's frosting a cake
With a paper knife
All what we got here's
Americam made
It's a little bit cheesey ,
But it's nicely displayed
Well we don't get excited when it
Crumbles 'n' breaks
We just get on the phone
And call up some flakes "

" Flakes " by Frank Zappa from Sheik Yerbouti

Pretty woman don't walk on by

Pretty woman don't make me cry,

Pretty woman don't walk away, hey ok

If that's the way it must be, ok

I guess I'll go home,its late

There'll tomorrow night, but wait..

What do I see..

She's walking back to me

Oh, oh, pretty woman


-Oh, Pretty Woman Van Halen and Ray Orbison

Origin of song

memory motel photo

Rolling Stones - Memory Motel - the entire song lyrics are incredible.



I have old pictures of myself and family in front of that very place!

I used to hang out in Montauk for most of the summer in the past, but sadly no more.

My step-dad had a house on Culloden Point, around the corner from Gossman's Dock.

Coughs, colds, runny nose
Makes conception a wonder
and Child birth a pleasure..."

-Chris Ledoux, Copenhagen

 

[Bama]

"We watched our friends grow up together
And we saw them as they fell
Some of them fell into Heaven
Some of them fell into [censored]"

The Pogues "Rainy night in Soho"

 

[01rangerxl]

"We're trapped off in this world and society with no place else to go
So how you feel?
Frustrated, irritated, sometimes I don't know myself I be too numb
To feel something sometimes so I dig deep, get in the Cherokee
Let my mind fly free into the wilderness so I can get this **** off my mind
That's why I be smokin' that dank sometimes" - from Thought Process by Goodie Mob

"Now, pimpin' ain't easy but it's necessary
So I'm chasin' ******* like Tom chased Jerry
I put the pedal to the floor in my two tone Ford Explorer
You know how it's done..." - from Down for Whatever by Ice Cube

Rappers had better taste in vehicles back in the '90s.

How about sticking to a single LINE as suggested in the title and not paste the whole lyrics to the song? how is anyone supposed to know what SINGLE LINE is one's favorite line?

 

[Cristobal]

Burgers and fries, and cherry pies, it was simple and good back then...

Walking in the sand, hand in hand, never dreaming that it would end...

Charley Pride

 

[tom slick]

If Heaven and [censored] decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

-Death Cab for Cutie

"...you will survive being bested, somebody fine will come along and make me forget about loving you...and the Southern Cross"

Southern Cross, CS&N

"When leaves began to die?
"That means he's lost the will to live,

"You say you haven’t been the same since you had your little crash,
"But you might feel better if I gave you some cash!"
