Greatest ever one line lyric

[dundarach]

"A tall shadow dressed how secrets always dress,
When they want everyone to know that they're around.!"



Probably the best piece of live rock music I've heard, go listen

[Super Sonic]

HALT! WHO GOES THERE?
(death)
Approach, friend.

[GloverMart]

Saw Cinderella in a party dress but she was looking for a night gown

I saw the devil wrapping up his hands, he's getting ready for the show down

"A Dustland Fairytale" - The Killers about his late mum passing away after illness. The whole song has some incredible lyrics considering the subject of it.

Blimey, that's a blast from the past. I can't remember the last time I listened to that.

Almost a forgotten song!

What you did there: I see it.

And I hate you and you wife and if I get the chance I'll fk up your life.

Proof perhaps that for a short while Paul Weller was indeed the Greatest Living English songwriter, I think you will all agree.

In keeping with that:

[Magnum 475]

There are so many….

Emmylou Harris wrote the song “Boulder to Birmingham” after the death of a close friend, with this line:

“ And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive”

Mary Chapin Carpenter, from “This is Love” : “If you ever long for things that are only in the past, just remember that the wrong things aren’t supposed to last”

Or, Beth Nielsen Chapman, from “Sand and Water” which was written following the death of her husband and describing their young son: “And his laughter fills my world and wears your smile”

Those are all great lyrics to me.

[Gargamel]

And although my eyes were open, they might as well’ve been closed.

"Because I don't say it, don't mean I aint thinkin' it"

One needs Dave Mustaine's level of aggression when reciting this line......

[dandarez]

Not sure if I've posted this before, but it's the winner!

Eric Burdon and the Animals 'Monterey' 1968

'If you wanna find the truth in life
Don't pass music by'

You could fill this thread with one liners from Frank….

I should probably go with the one I have tattooed….

Probably not aging well, but some of you will get the reference.

Or a splendid rhyme from Goldfrapp's Ride A White Horse in the context of a motoring website,

"Take me dancing at the Disco, where you buy your Winnebago."
