Best line from a song

[balrog]

Not chorus
Not a verse (or a stanza)
Best line

I'll start.

So often times it happens, we live our lives in chains, and we never even know we have the key.

Go.

 

[Kickass]

If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal. If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel.

- Mungo Jerry, In the Summertime

This was the first line that came to mind. I know it’s not very PC but it’s a song with a fun tune and it’s from a “peace and love” era so I’m going to take a charitable interpretation.

 

[Chorgey]

Also, not very PC...
On the other end of the 'peace and love' theme.

You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to, so that when they turn their backs on you, you'll get the chance to put the knife in

Pink Floyd - Dogs

Most of the lines I'm thinking of come from Pink Floyd

 

[seatazzz]

'She ain't a beauty but she's all right...'

Bruce Springsteen, Thunder Road. I wasn't considered attractive growing up (still not so much) so when I DID have a boyfriend, this line meant a lot to me. Yes I know kinda depressing.

 

[Chorgey]

"Once I rose above the noise and confusion, just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion"

Carry On Wayward Son - Kansas

 

[Broken Crow]

"If we didn't have these codes of love, of tokens and positions
We'd find ourselves as lovers still, not tokens of possesions."
Smother Love - Crass

There is a road, no simple highway / Between the dawn and the dark of night / And if you go, no one may follow / That path is for your steps alone” – ‘Ripple’ by the Grateful Dead

[mac_1103]

Really almost impossible to pick just one*, but what the hell let's go with a little Bobby Zimmerman...

I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could've done better, but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time

*edit - and just to prove the point, a lot of people would say it's not even the best line from that song...

 

[Rish]

You can't always get what you want but if you try sometime you'll find you get what you need.

Well, based on reactions to my posting spree so far we have more fans of The Presidents Of The United States Of America than Garth Brooks and The Muppets combined. Unexpected.

 

[beermanpete]

Garth who?

So much artsy.
