Best line in a song?

And I never thought of thinking for myself at all. I thought so little that they rewarded me and now I am the ruler of the Queens Navee.



The parody is quite funny too.

 

I ain't saying you treated me unkind. You could have done better but I don't mind. You just kind of wasted my precious time. Don't think twice, it's alright.

 

“Last in Line”

Ronnie James Dio

Lyrics at the very end of the song:

We’re a ship without a storm....
We’re the cold inside the warm....
We’re the laugh without a tear....
We’re the far without a near....
We’re the Last in Line...we’re the Last in Line....we’re the Last in Line....see how we shine- WE’RE THE LAST IN
LIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!!!”

 

Yes, absolutely one of the best, smoothly flowing lines, while to the point. Good choice. There are some from Gordon Lightfoot, Paul Simon and Leonard Cohen as well, that seem to hang in the air after hearing then. Explore those a bit. We'll talk sometime.

 

I remember this song - circa mid 70's. I grew up near all the places he mentions.

 

"If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?"

 

"You deserve a girl like me"
From Take Me Home by Sophie Ellis Bextor

 

"the only constant's change..."

 

Big man, pig man... Ha! Ha! Charade you are.

 

“Wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then” from “Against the Wind” by Bob Seger”

 

I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in.




The First Edition. "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)"

 

You don't always know where you stand, 'Til you know that you won't run away

 

You've got to pick-a-pocket or two, boys, You've got to pick-a-pocket or two.

 

“ without you, the poetry in me is dead” Gethsemane by Nightwish.

 

Let it all hang out! Hombres

 

And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away in
The tidal destruction
The moral melee.
The elastic retreat rings the close of play
As the last wave uncovers
The newfangled way.
But your new shoes are worn at the heels and
Your suntan does rapidly peel and
Your wise men don't know how it feels
To be thick as a brick.

 

Dirty deeds done dirt cheap. or?
Dirty deeds done with sheep.

 

Well when you're down on your luck
And you ain't got a buck
In London you're a goner
Even London Bridge has fallen down
And moved to Arizona
Now I know why
And I'll substantiate the rumor
That the English sense of humor
Is drier than the Texas sand
You can put up your dukes or you can bet your boots
But I'm leavin' just as fast as I can
I want to go home with the armadillo
Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene
The friendliest people and the prettiest women

 

Well, tell me do you think it'd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight?
You can see I'm in no shape for driving
And anyway, I've got no place to go
And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I'd ever had
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone
