What is your favorite line in a song? Any song, from R&B to that Dubstep... thing.

Mine is in Steel Panther - Community Property.
I would give you the starts in the sky, but they're too far away!

Calumon: All of my song! ^^

I'm going to take a line (or two) from Colin Hay's Beautiful World

I tried talking to Jesus, But he just put me on hold.
Said he'd been swamped with calls this week, could not shake his cold.

Blinded by the light revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Only because for the longest time I though it was
Blinded by the light rapped up like a douche another runner in the night

I have a tendency to change favorites every few weeks. But here's the current one.
Crawling on a tightrope,
the bravest thing I have is hope.

For me it has to be Lordi's Devil Is A Loser.

Because the Devil is a loser and hes my *****. For better or for worse and you don't care which. Because the Devil is a loser and hes my *****. Running into trouble you little snitch, hes my *****!

Agghhh im going through alot of Rise Against songs and i can't select a single line. So im going to have to say pretty much everything said by Rise Against. Survive, Audience of one and Hero of war seem to stand out most for me, but there are many others.

Oh, and the Skillet lyric from "Looking for angels" - "In the midst of the most painful faces, angels show up in the strangest of places."

Oh, thats also going to be a tattoo some point =]

You win, sir.

OP: I dunno. The lyrics of "Fade to Black" by Metallica usually cheer me up even though they're fairly depressing, and "Surfacing" by Slipknot's good for when you're pissed off, but I can't really think of a favourite line, exactly.
"Disciple" by Slayer has some of my favourite lines, though.

Pessimist, Terrorist targeting the next mark
Global chaos feeding on hysteria
Cut throat, slit your wrist, shoot you in the back fair game
Drug abuse, self abuse searching for the next high
Sounds a lot like hell is spreading all the time
I'm waiting for the day the whole world fucking dies

I never said I wanted to be God's disciple
I'll never be the one to blindly follow




And "Black Bubblegum" by Dillinger Escape Plan.

But you forget that in your fairy tale ***** I'm the wolf
All this attention got you thinking you we're a queen
You thought that everything in life you want should be free
Nothing is what you think

I had gotten frozen by the way that you walked, by the love that you gave, by that look on your face
It's a coverup
I know everything
[x2]

You're made for four letter fame
Regret is part of your name
There's something you couldn't tell
It's what you wanted to feel
It's what you're dying to feel

Driving out of Darlington County
My eyes seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
Driving out of Darlington County
Seen Wayne handcuffed to the bumper of a state trooper's Ford

Flash Delirium - MGMT

This whole song has the best lines.
Mild apprehension,
blank dreams of the coming fun,
distort the odds of a turnaround,
gut screams out next to none
So turn it on, tune it in
and stay inert...

You say, I've got the backbone,
the back way to escape the gun
climbing a tree with a missing limb
and not saving anyone
and now it hurts, to stay at home and see...

Flash the mirror ball's throwing mold
you can't get a grip if there's nothing to hold
See the flash, catch a white lilly
laugh and wilt
but if you smash a glass,
first fill it to the hilt.

PLANTS, as far as I know are still,
still bending toward the light
and if we dance until the heart explodes,
it'll make this place ignite
and even if this hall collapses,
I can stand by my pillar of hope it's just,
a case of flash delirium

Here's a growing culture,
deep inside a corpse
ages stuck together,
taking it to the source,
timeless desperation,
pictures on a screen scream
'HEY PEOPLE, WHAT DOES IT MEAN?'

Comfort keeps us nice,
so quick to donate everything
(nothing arrives),
die woken drifting blinding smiles circling,
but time's,
tingling spines attaching hands to floor,
the rosy-tinted flash

FLASH the mirror ball's throwing mold
the hot dog's getting cold
and you'll never be as good
as the Rolling Stones
watch the birds in the airport gathering
dirt
crowd the clean magazine chick lifting
up her skirt

WHY CLOSE ONE EYE AND TRY TO PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE
TO THE SUN, WHEN PLASTIC GHOSTS START TERRORIZING
EVERYONE, GEOMETRIC TROOPS ALIGNING,
CARRIED UP TO THE BURIAL MOUNDS MY EARTHBOUND HEART
IS HEAVY, YOUR HEARTBEAT KEEPS THINGS LIGHT, WITH
VIOLENCE FOREVER THREATENING THE NIGHT

... but even if this hall collapses I can stand on a pillar of hope and trust, that our heads won't... Bust....
SIX SIX FIVE FIVE RED BATTLESHIPS,
40 EARTHLIKE PLANETS,
3 HOLES, 2 TITS, 1 FORK IN IT'S SIDE
ZERO TEARS IN THEIR EYES

song gets to fast for the next few lyrics.

Mine is defintely from Flogging Molly's Tomorrow Comes A Day Too Soon


Face down, beneath the rubble lies a man,
Tales of a future, already in the past,
and of himself, well he hasn't much to say,
But wake the Gods, it's Judgement Day

No definite favourite, since my sieve-like memory never seems to be able to bring up all the good songs I have heared so far.
However, I like the flow of these phrases

Look at me still talking when there's Science to do
When I look out there, it makes me GLaD I'm not you
I've experiments to run, there is research to be done
On the people who are still alive
