"Send lawyers, guns and money."
I know it's more than a single line but man what a picture it paints….

I've always like "wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then" in Against the Wind.
A lot of Jonathan Coulton's lyrics are weird and silly. But his tribute to George Plimpton in "A Talk With George" is truly moving.

I used her, she used me but neither one cared
We were gettin' our share
