[Chris^^]

"it's not fair just let me perfect it, don't wanna live a life that was comprehensive.."
New Perspective, by Panic at the Disco

"i'm a preacher with no pulpit, spewing a sermon that goes on and on..."
Daisy, by Brand New

oh and of course

"I don't need to ask what you had for dinner, cuz I can feel lasagna between my fingers"
My Fist Your Arse, by Brothel

[edit]
I may keep adding..

"yeah here comes the water, it comes to wash away the sins of you and I"
Slither, by Velvet Revolver

 

[Monshroud]

From The Decemberists: The Rake's Song

No more a rake and no more a bachelor
I was wedded and it whetted my thirst
Until her womb started spilling out babies
Only then did I reckon my curse

 

[MuddShark6]

A good showerhead and my right hand, the two best lovers that I ever had.
Into the Woods by My Morning Jacket
Made me crack up the first time I heard it.

 

[adderseal]

I lived with them on Montague Street
In a basement down the stairs
There was music in the caf,s at night
And revolution in the air
Then he started into dealing with slaves
And something inside of him died
She had to sell everything she owned
And froze up inside
And when finally the bottom fell out
I became withdrawn
The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keeping on like a bird that flew
Tangled up in blue.

So now I'm going back again
I got to get her somehow
All the people we used to know
They're an illusion to me now
Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenter's wives
Don't know how it all got started
I don't what they're doing with their lives
But me I'm still on the road
Heading for another joint
We always did feel the same
We just saw it from a different point of view
Tangled up in Blue.


More than a line, and I couldn't decide which verse was best Bob Dylan, Tangled Up In Blue

 

[Chris^^]

Killing in the Name by Rage, I think you know the line already.

could it be "************...UH!"?

that masterwork of lyrical subtltey and finesse?

 

[WinterOrbit]

For some reason, the line "There are powerlines in our bloodlines" from The Decemberists's "Engine Driver" has always stuck with me.

 

[laol1999]

Flight of the Concords- Hiphopipotimus vs. the Rhymenoserous
"my rhymes are so potent, that in this small segment,
i made all of the ladies in the area pregnant"

 

[CK76]

A single line?

"Richard Cory went home last night, and put a bullet in his head"

 

[theprinceofcamden]

And before you sleep at night... You'll pray to me, your lucky star, your singing satalite

 

[MrPokeylope]

There's a place I go when I'm alone
Do anything I want, be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I'm falling

That's where I'm going, where are you going
Hold it close, won't let this go
Dream catch me yeah
Dream catch me when I fall
Or else I won't come back at all

...and the rest

Newton Faulkner - Dream Catch Me

You say you give and you give, why don't you just give in?

 

[Jerich0]

define your meaning of war, to me its what we do when we're bored, i feel the heat comin off of the blacktop, and it makes me want it more.... because im hyped up outta control, if its a fight im ready to go, i wouldnt put my money on the other guy if you know what i know that i know.

 

[Vitor Goncalves]

3 lines from 3 diferent Within Temptation songs:

Deceiver of Fools - "No light in the darkness/is to small to see/there is always a sparkling void/if you just believe."

Hand of Sorrow - "He's torn between his honor/and the true love of his life/he prayed for both but was denied/So many dreams were broken and so much was sacrificed/was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind?"

Our Solemn Hour - "If we can't restrain/the beast which dwells inside/It will find it's way/somehow somewhere in time"

 

[Kortney]

Brothers on a Hotel Bed by Death Cab for Cutie:

"On the back of a motorbike,
with your arms out stretched trying to take flight
leaving everything behind.
But even at our swiftest speed,
we couldn't break from the concrete
in the city where we still reside".

Amazing.

The whole of Endless cycle of violence is brilliant. The song is about, just as it suggests, that humans are caught up in an endless cycle of violence.

"From the big bang to street gangs, we live it everyday"

Fits in with your avatar!

 

[TheBoulder]

It makes them blind,
It makes them dumb.

Ray Koefoed is an amazing singer/songwriter.

 

[Thunderhorse31]

Yes I'm hearing voices too...
But I'm more cut up than you.

Not the best lyric ever, but... c'mon, that's pretty fucked up.

 

[The Sorrow]

The Weary Kind-
