Tuesday Favorites… Greatest Single Line in a Song

[TLB]

****Edit: a single line is difficult. Verse or chorus counts too.

Dammit...changed the rules.

Note: Each of this writer's songs are stories, and their songs should be more prevalent here.

Absolutely! Both for voice/sound and for lyrics/meaning. I was keeping it to ONE LINE per the original request, but given rules are fluid around here...

New World Man -
He's not concerned with yesterday
He knows constant change is here today
He's noble enough to know what's right
But weak enough not to choose it
He's wise enough to win the world
But fool enough to lose it

Limelight -
All the world's indeed a stage
We are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience outside the gilded cage

Time Stand Still (The WHOLE damn song, really) -
Time stand still
I'm not looking back
But I want to look around me now
Time stands still
See more of the people
And the places that surround me now

Time stands still

Freeze this moment
A little bit longer
Make each sensation
A little bit stronger

Experience slips away
Experience slips away

 

[RiverRat]

Glasspacks hummin by Circle In The Square
Heavy Metal Rednecks and their frizzy blonde hair
**** a bunch a hair-do boys and their Spandex britches
And their big titty, fancy drunk ass bitches

Sorry, I think I’m going to change the rules back to one line.

Sorry, I think I’m going to change the rules back to one line.

Some of us were raised to follow the rules, you know.

 

[CDGator]

Some of us were raised to follow the rules, you know.

Yeah - I used to be one of those rule followers. But then 2020 happened and now those rules are more like loose guidelines.

But you do you…

 

[B52G8rAC]

Yeah - I used to be one of those rule followers. But then 2020 happened and now those rules are more like loose guidelines.

But you do you…

Ma'am, Yes Ma'am.

 

[CDGator]

Ma'am, Yes Ma'am.

Sorry

Seedy should really get a lot more sympathy.

 

[Gator By Marriage]

Sorry

Seedy should really get a lot more sympathy.

Ever since July 24, 2020, he's been getting a ton from a bunch of people he's never met.

 

[Seedy]

Sorry

Seedy should really get a lot more sympathy.

"Well you may not know it but this man is a spy
He's a undercover agent for the FBI
And he's been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan!"

So give a cheer for the Orange and Blue
Waving Forever!

"Well I heard Mister Young sing about her
Well I heard ol' Neil put her down
Well I hope Neil Young will remember
Southern man don't need him around anyhow"

 

[CDGator]

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's not much left

RIP Coolio -59

Didn’t realize he is 75. Hope he recovers quickly.

 

[Mobtowngator]

And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died...

 

[Bushmaster]

Pretty Much the whole song by Ice Cube No Vaseline.

Started off with too much cargo
Dropped 4 niggas now I am making all the dough

Tried to diss Ice Cube, it wasn't worth it
Cause the broomstick fit your ass so perfect

You're gettin' ****ed real quick
And Eazy's dick, is smellin' like MC Ren's ****

Callin' me Arnold, but you been-a-dick
Eazy-E saw your ass and went in it quick

 

[LoyalGatorFan]

Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess every form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice


My oh my you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well so carefully
Ain’t it funny how your new life didn’t change things
You’re still the same old girl you used to be
