The Best Line in a Song
 

Every once in awhile, you find a song that has a great line in it.

(For example, Nirvana said, "just because you're paranoid doesn't mean their not after you"---thats totally great!!)

What "great lines" can you think of?

you and me babe - how 'bout it?
-dire straits / romeo and juliet.

and my sig of course.

On the bottom words are shallow
on the surface talk is cheap
you can finally judge the distance
by the company you keep

Joe Walsh - The Confessor

can't you see you're leaving me for an ugly girl
does she talk about politics and all the stuff that used to make me sick
does she smoke cigars and stay up late oh she's so great
does she tell you what you want to hear
and I bet that she can grow a beard
I'd feel better thinking you were queer
it's not fair I can't compare to an ugly girl

Fleming and John - "Ugly Girl"

Its just so freaking hilarious, I can't help but to laugh when I listen to this song. :D

"You just don't know what it's like,
To be a man, middle class and white."

-Ben Folds, "Rockin' the Suburbs"


/great satire of 'y'all don't know me' rappers

"Life is short and hard, like a bodybuilding elf"

- The Bloodhound Gang, "Lift Your Head Up High and Blow Your Brains Out"

"little old lady got mutilated late last night..."

- warren zevon, "werewolves of london..."

but they're chained up like the people in the cave, in the allegory of the people in the cave by the greek guy.

No One Knows My Plan, They Might Be Giants

another great (They Might Be Giants) line...

What's that Blue Thing doing here?

"Jesus rides beside me / He never buys any smokes"

--The Replacements, "Can't Hardly Wait"

Come on baby... And she had no fear
And she ran to him... Then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodbye
She had become like they are

Blue Oyster Cult "Don't fear the reaper"

"I'm a Dick, Im addicted to you."
I dont know who its by but this was so funny when I heard it.

Betty's in a wet t-shirt
feeling foolish and vain
lookin' like some housecat
got caught out in the rain

Starin' into the mirror
at this less than pretty picture
feeling ten years older now and
fifty bucks richer.

"Life Is Hard" by Timbuk 3

"Make that pussy purr with a stroke of my hand"

Ted Nugent
Cat Scratch Fever

"I shot a man in Reno / Just to watch him die."

Johnny Cash
Folsom Prison Blues

these are all great ones.
a few of mine:

And time is a piece of wax
falling on a termite
whose choking on the splinters
-Beck "Loser" (duh)

Hes got a song about a love thats gone away
Sometimes his eyes shed tiny teardrops when he plays
His touching ballads are just there sitting to buy
They call it music but it seems more like a lie
Artificial life in the marketplace
Epic ballads by the musical whores
Life is so boring project theirs onto yours
Hear the anthems of the pepsi generation
See the martyrs of our spiritual degradation
Artificial life in the marketplace
American culture disneyland freak show
Screen in your living room
A window for your tomb
If you cant compare to the world sitting there
Repress your insecurities watch and escape
Give me artificial give me superficial
Give me a commercial life that can't be bought
This I say to you what I say is true
Emotions aren't a product to sell and cannot be consumed
Coming attraction its coming real soon
Prince is having lunch with pat boone
Want to know where all the bullshit goes
It goes down the sewer to be disposed
-Operation Ivy "Artificial Life"

Conditioned to self-interest with emotions locked away
If that's what they call normal i'd rather be insane
-Op Ivy "Here We Go Again"

That last line is my favorite. You should say it to a cop while giving him the finger. It's a great way to get away for the weekend.

I'm not waving, I'm drowning : Sheer Terror

"If everyone's a little queer
Can't she be a little straight"
Pink Triangle - Weezer

"Shaking like a dog shitting razorblades."

Alkaline Trio

"They say music can alter moods and talk to you
Well can it load a gun up for you , and cock it too
Well if it can, then the next time you assault a dude
Just tell the judge it was my fault and i'll get sued"
- Eminem "Sing for the Moment"

"I have a problem that I cannot explain,
I have no reason why it should have been so plain,
Have no questions but I sure have excuse,
I lack the reason why I should be so confused,"
-System of a Down "Roulette"

You beat me to it!!!! ARGH!!

"They told me to shoot straight
Don't pull the trigger, squeeze
That will ensure a kill
A kill is what you want
A kill is why we breed"
NOFX-The Decline

"Punk ain't no religious cult
Punk means thinking for yourself"
Dead Kennedys - Nazi Punks Fuck Off

"Home is where the heart is... on the bus"
Glassjaw - The Gillette Cavalcade of Sports

"Send lawyers, guns, and money; the shit has hit the fan."
Warren Zevon - Lawyers, Guns and Money

Just a few off the top of my head...

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication
"Space may be the final frontier but it's made in a hollywood basement"

Pink Floyd - Time
"And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but your older
Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death"

Pearl Jam - Do The Evolution
"I'm a thief, I'm a liar, There's my church I sing in the choir"

Pearl Jam - Not For You
"All that's sacred, comes from youth
All dedication, is naive and true
Oh with no power and nothing to do
I still remember, why don't you?"

"I just looked in the mirror, and things aren't looking so good
I'm looking California, and feeling Minnesota"

"The bullshit rolls off your tongue like spit
The psychotropic demi-god"
- I wish I was a Communist - NothingFace

"So please please let me get what I want, Lord knows it will be the first time."
-Deftones cover of the song Please let me get what I want

"Dicks are for my friends, when they come to my house."
-Mindless Self Indulgence.
I don't know why, but that just strikes me as odd.
.....and.....
"Who controls the past now, controls the future. Who controls the present now, controls the past."
-Rage Against the Machine
Just makes you think, and I hope I didn't screw it up.

"I got something to say, I raped your mother today, but it doesn't matter much to me as long as she's spread."

Last Caress - The Misfits. Sheer poetry, and Danzig apparently invented "yo mamma" jokes.

'Theres no love in fear'
Pushit - Tool

'Higher than a hippie on a helicopter ride'

-David Allen Coe, The Dope Song

"out on the road today I saw a Deadhead sticker on a cadillac,
a little voice inside said don't look back, you can never look back"

Don Henley- "Boys of summer"

"Ashes to ashes
dust to dust;
waddya gonna do
when that thing starts to rust?"
-"Keep on truckin' mamma" N.R.P.S.

That's one of my all-time favorite lines, but I think it's because I'm Minnesotan. It really sucks to feel Minnesotan!!

"You tell me it's the Institution, well you know, we'd all love to change your head."

John Lennon, "Revolution"

Life is white
And I am black
Jesus and his lawyer
Are coming back

-Eels "Novocaine for the Soul"

funny how that song is a total bummer, but it always makes me feel great when I'm done listening to it.
you guys are coming up with some good ones, keep it up!!

Good grief, I screwed up my own post.

Previous Post should have said:

"You say you'll change the Constitution, well you know, we'd all love to change your head. You tell me it's the Institution, well you know, you'd better free your mind instead."


YIKES!

All this time you said you would die for me. Why, then, are you so surprised to hear your own eulogy?

"elvis isnt dead, hes just on vacation with jim morrison" karma by diffuser

<i>Stroboscopic contorsion-assault. Lightbulb language translated into fits

Random beats of blinding shockwaves. Erratic suns that twist my eyes
Flashes pounding at my thoughts as the intrinsic pains multiply.</i>

RUNNIN' SHINE -
WELL NOW DOWN DEEP IN THE OZARKS MAN,

THERE WERE I WAS BORN,

MY GRANDFATHER OWNED A STILL

AND RAISED A FIELD OF CORN.

HE TOLD ME BOY, YOU GONNA CARRY ON THIS FAMILY TRADITION,

THEN HE WILLED ME THE STILL PLUS ALL THE GUNS AND AMMUNITION.

YOU BETTER START RUNNIN' WHEN THE BULLETS START TO FLY.

YOU BETTER UNDERSTAND YOU FACE FLASH IN THE SKY.

I'M RUNNIN' SHINE.

MY GRANDFATHER TAUGHT ME ALL THE SECRETS OF THE TRADE,

HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO DRINK AND SELL THE BEST OF WHAT I MADE.

HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO UTILIZE THE GUNS AND AMMUNTION AND

HE ATAUGHT ME HOW TO DEAL WITH THOSE WHO ENVIED MY POSITION.

ONE DAY SHERIFF GERALD COLTRANE CAME A KNOCKIN' AT MY DOOR,

HE TOLD ME YOU WON'T BE MAKIN' THAT CORN LIQUOR NO MORE.

I FINALLY GOT TO UTILIZE THE GUNS AND AMMUNITION AND I

FINALLY GOT TO DEAL WITH WHOSE WHO ENVIED MY POSITION.

Push out dead air from a parking garage

Ween got hired to make a song for the Pizza Hut "Insider" pizza, where there is cheese inside the crust. Lyrics...
"Where'd the cheese go?
I don't know!
Where'd the cheese go?
I don't know!"
Pizza Hut didn't like it, and wanted Ween to remake the song. Ween was getting tired of Pizza Hut by this time, so they changed the lyrics to...
"Bitch, where's the mutherfuckin' cheese go at?
I don't know." Needless to say, Pizza Hut learned that they are not "hip" enough for Ween. I think you can still hear both versions on their website. The lyrics are dumb, but it's so catchy its scary.

Bloodhound Gang - Fire Water Burn

I want to fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to god

Baby, won't you give me some head?
Baby, won't you give me some head?
Baby, won't you give me some head?
Baby, won't you give me some head?

Base 2 (Formerly Sci-fi Lullaby) are not very well known or mainstream, but they're touring Europe now.

From "The Pavement"

I see you frozen
In the back of your intentions.
And someone stole the bread,
For the sandwich in my head.

The truth is,
You could slit my throat,
and in my one last gasping breath i'd apologise
for bleeding on your shirt.

Taking Back Sunday - You Know How I Do.

"doesnt mean that much to me, to mean that much to you"

The Normals:

"You were standing in my doorway
as the seconds raced the snails"

great metaphor, other pieces of note...

"so this is growing up
to find the things you weren't old enough to know
are the things you never wanted
as another pretty girl falls for another dirty lie

Innocence, we never got to say goodbye..."

Pedro the Lion: Penetration, the whole freakin song is good

"Have you ever seen an idealist with gray hairs on his head?
Or successful men who keep in touch with unsuccessful friends?
You only think you did, and I could've sworn I saw it too
But as it turns out it was just a clever ad for cigarettes

And we're so sorry sir, but you did not quite make the cut this time
And we'd appreciate it if you cleared your stuff all out by five
Don't take it personal, everyone knows you did your best
If it makes it easier you should look at it from our perspective

Cause if it isn't making dollars
Then it isn't making sense
If you aren't a moving unit
Then you're not worth the expense
If you really want to make it
You had best remember this:
If it isn't penetration
Then it isn't worth a kiss"

Jerry spent some time in Michigan
A twenty year vacation, after all he had a dime
A dime is worth a lot more in Detroit
A dime in California, a twenty dollar fine

Jerry only stayed a couple months
It's hard to enjoy yourself while bleeding out the ass
Asphyxiation is simple and fast
It beats seventeen fun years of being someones bitch

thats from NoFX's the decline

"Now the storm has passed over me
I'm left to drift on a dead calm sea
and watch her forever through the cracks in the beams
nailed across the doorways of the bedrooms of my dreams."
-Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds "Ain't Gonna Rain Anymore"

"Newspaper cloaks to wrap the truth
propagand-acid dropped on the youth
its easy to see like pulling a tooth
no one in line at the ballot booth
the Dragon down south may blow some smoke

they're just building bigotry a better rope
one that won't break one you can't even see
one made of paper and policy."
-Grant Lee Buffalo "Wish You Well"

"Who's a-gonna buy all the missiles?
who's a-gonna buy all the guns?

More great ones!

Red Hot Chili Peppers - American Ghost Dance

Oh give me a home
Where the buffalo roam

Though these words dig deep
They offer no relief
God save the queen
I am an indian chief

Wooden Jesus, where are you from?

But I didn't know it was the holy land
And I believed from the minute that the check left my hand

Black Flag - Drinking and Driving

Get drunk a lot and work 40 hours a week

And make sure to tell your friends that they drive you to it
And that you can quit anytime that you want

Elvis Costello- "(Angels Gonna Wear My) Red Shoes"

That is from Head Like a Hole, not Happiness In Slavery.

boys night out - "a torrid love affair"

the first time i saw a body bend that way i realized that we're more beautiful dead than alive. then, with bloodied flesh removed, your rib cage ripped away - and i saw why they say beauty comes from the inside. it won't be the same this time around and you'll never be the same again. i promise to never forget you. i know you'll remember me for as long as you live...and your life ends right here, right now, as i tear your heart apart. i'll keep your hair with me, wrapped around my bloody knuckles as a soft, silken reminder of the day you discovered that even the softest words can't heal the deepest wounds. i pray that they find you and use the softest words to hide the hardest truth. i'm covered in your blood...now it's over. we're better. one day we'll forget you were so right and so clever. save me from this love affair with broken hearts before it's too late. save me or save yourself.

i know i know. pretty gruesome. the odd thing about the band is that they are a sort of pop punk/hardcore group.

"hey, wait, I've got a new complaint.
forever a debt to your priceless advice."

Further Seems Forever - The Bradley

But, oh, it's so evil, my love, the way you've
no reverence to my concern
So I'll be sure to stay weary of you, love,
to save the pain of
Once my flame and twice my burn

-- Fiona Apple, Shadowboxer

She'll start hissin when she's kissin
Sayin your the only one
She'll tell you lies with beatty eyes
And a big long forked tongue
If you give that gal a diamond ring
You'll get a Diamond back
She just venom wearin denim boy
She's always makin tracks

-- Junior Brown, Venom Wearin Denim

Then you came back to me and I went down on one knee
With a glint in my eyes and a rose between my teeth
And I pushed out my tongue for you to see
That I'd been dying of a thirst for your company
Then you quenched my loneliness with your tears
And our clothes fell away as we rolled back the years
But we could't deny it because we could not admit it
If our love was too strong to die
Or we were just too weak to kill it
Was our love too strong to die?
Or were we just too weak to kill it?

-- The The, August and September

"You live on a house-boat"

-Anal C*nt

'rally round the family
pockets full of shells'

Rage Against the Machine

Sniff and remember silver ball
Contortions that he can't recall
The torso on a trampoline
The happiness melts into dream
- Mr Bungle - Quote Unquote

Smiling with the mouth of the ocean
And I'll wave to you with the arms of the mountain
I'll see you
- Faith no More - Ashes To Ashes

Delilah played the dead girl at the freak show
She smiles like a ghost
Like zombies eatin' dust in Mexico
Life dries cold beneath the dead soul lights
She asked if it would hurt
I smiled and said no
The lie ran down my chin like embryo
- Acid Bath - Dead Girl

there are a few things in here i wish i'd said first but anyway here goes...

"THOUSANDS OF US DEAD TODAY, THOUSANDS WENT UNFED TODAY AND ALL WE TALK ABOUTS THE FUCKING WEATHER"

Dillenger Four - It's a fine line between a monkey and a robot

"NOW WE GETTING FUCKED BY THE LONG DICK OF THE LAW, INFLICTING SOCIAL DESEASES COS THEY USE NO PROTECTION, JUDGE SLAM THE HAMMER D.A. GOT AN ERECTION"

Looptroop - Long arm of the law

"SWEETNESS, SWEETNESS I WAS ONLY JOKING WHEN I'D LIKE TO SMASH EVERY TOOTH IN YOUR HEAD, OH SWEETNESS, SWEETNESS I WAS ONLY JOKING WHEN I SAID BY RIGHTS YOU SHOULD BE BLUDGEONED IN YOUR BED, AND NOW I KNOW HOW JOAN OF ARC FELT, NOW I KNOW HOW JOAN OF ARC FELT, AS THE FLAMES ROSE TO ROAM HER NOSE AND HER DISCMAN STARTED TO MELT"

Placebo - Bigmouth Strikes Again

"I WASN'T BORN WITH ENOUGH MIDDLE FINGERS"

Marilyn Manson - Irresponsible Hate Anthem

And now the whole of the decline by NOFX, I just had to!

Where are all the stupid people from?
And how'd they get to be so dumb?
Bred on purple mountain range
Feed amber waves of grains
To lesser human beings, zero feelings

Blame it on
Human nature, mans destiny (mans destiny)
Blame it on the greediocracy (greediocracy)
Fear of God
The fear of change
The fear of truth

Add the Bill of Rights, subtract the wrongs
There's no answers
Memorize and sing star spangled songs
When the questions
Aren't ever asked
Is anybody learning from the past?
We're living in united stagnation

Father what have I done?
I took that 22
A gift to me from you
To bed with me each night
Kept it clean
Polished it well
Cherished every cartridge, every shell

Down, by the creek, under brush, under dirt
There's a carcass of my second kill
Down, by the park, under stone, under pine
There's a carcass of my brother William
Brother where, have you gone to?
I swear, I never thought I could
I see so many times
They told me to shoot straight
Don't pull the trigger, squeeze
That will insure a kill
A kill is what you want
A kill is why we breed

The Christians love their guns
The church and NRA
Pray for their salvations
Prey on the lower faiths

The story book's been read
And every line believed
Curriculum's been set
Logic is a threat
Reason searched and seized

Jerry spent some time in Michigan
A twenty year vacation, after all he had a dime
A dime is worth a lot more in Detroit
A dime in California, a twenty dollar fine

Jerry only stayed a couple months
It's hard to enjoy yourself while bleeding out the ass
Asphyxiation is simple and fast
It beats seventeen fun years of being someones bitch

Don't think (Stay)
Drink your wine (Home)
Watch the fire burn (Be)
His problems not mine (Safe)
Just be that model citizen

I wish I had a schilling
(For each senseless killing)
For every senseless killing
I'd buy a government
America's for sale
And you can get a good deal on it
(A good deal on it)
And make a healthy profit
Or maybe, tear it apart
Start with assumption
That a million people are smart
Smarter than one

Serotonin's gone
She gave up, drifted away
Sara fled, thought process gone
She left her answering machine on
The greeting left spoken sincere
Messages no one will ever hear

Ten thousand messages a day
A million more transmissions lay
Victims of the laissez faire
Ten thousand voices, a hundred guns
A hundred decibels turns to one
One bullet, one empty head
Now with Serotonin gone

The man who used to speak
Performs a cute routine
Feel a little patronized
Don't feel bad
They found a way inside your head
And you feel a bit misled
It's not that they don't care, yeah

The television's put a thought inside your head
Llike a Barry Manilow, jingle
I'd like, to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
A symphonic blank stare, yeah
It doesn't make you care (make you care)
Not designed to make you care (make you care)
They're betting you won't care (you won't...)

Place a wager on your greed
A wager on your pride
Why try to beat them when, a million others tried?

We are the whore
Intellectually spayed
We are the queer
Dysfunctionally raised

One more pill to kill the pain
One more pill to kill the pain
One more pill to kill the pain
Living through conformity

One more prayer to keep me safe
One more prayer to keep us warm
One more prayer to keep us safe
There's gonna be a better place

Lost the battle, lost the war
Lost the things worth living for
Lost the will to win the fight
One more pill to kill the pain

Na na na na na
La na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na

The going get tough, the tough get debt
Don't pay attention, pay the rent
Next of kins pay for your sins
A little faith should keep us safe

Save us
The human, existence
Is failing, resistance
Essential, the future
Written off, the odds are
Astronomically against us
Only moron and genius
Would fight a losing battle
Against the super ego
When giving in is so damn comforting

And so we go, on with our lives
We know the truth, but prefer lies
Lies are simple, simple is bliss
Why go against tradition when we can
Admit defeat, live in decline
Be the victim of our own design
The status quo, built on suspect
Why would anyone stick out their neck?

Fellow members
Club "We've Got Ours"
I'd like to introduce you to our host
He's got his, and I've got mine
Meet the decline

We are the queer
We are the whore
Ammunition
In the class war
We are worker
We love our queen
We sacrifice
We're soilent green

We are the queer
We are the whore
Ammunition
In the class war

Something is wrong with the sum of us that I can't seem to erase. How can I be the only one without a smile on my face when now you're laughing out loud at just the thought of being alive. I was wondering could I just be you tonight. You show your pain like it really hurts and I can't even start to feel mine.
(from Matchbox Twenty "Can I Just be You Tonight")

...sunshine you're the best time I've ever, ever known when you've got your wicked smile on. But I've cried for the last time. I'm dying inside.
(from M.Twenty "You're So Real"

"I got a six-pack of beer
and a fistful of 'Ludes,
I'm gonna get ripped
so Fuck you dudes!"

Titties & Beer - Frank Zappa
