I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's.
His hair was perfect.

Maybe not the greatest ever, but well done and perfect in the context of the song.

"The pilot of Enola Gay
Flying out of a shock wave
On that August day"

From "Manhattan Project" by Rush
And, ironically, almost a haiku.

"You were the Northern lights in a Southern town"

I love the whole chorus.

"Cause you were heat lightning. Yeah, you were a storm that never rolled in. You were the Northern lights in a Southern town. A caustic fleeting thing. I'll bury your memories in the garden. I'll watch them grow with the flowers in the Spring. I'll keep you with me"

-Cigarettes and Saints by The Wonder Years.

This old porch is just a long time waitin' and forgettin',

From Judas Priest's "Painkiller"

"Planets devastated, mankind's on its knees
A saviour comes from out the skies in answer to their pleas
Through boiling clouds of thunder, blasting bolts of steel
Evil's going under deadly wheels

He is the Painkiller
This is the Painkiller
Oh!

Faster than a laser bullet
Louder than an atom bomb
Chromium plated boiling metal
Brighter than a thousand suns."

Any of his songs really, but these three stand out but the entire song is lyrical genius.

They say sixty-five percent of all statistics
Are made up right there on the spot
Eighty-two-point-four percent of people believe 'em
Whether they're accurate statistics or not


Quote:


Now to fit in on the Seattle scene
You've gotta do somethin' they ain't never seen
So thinkin' up a gimmick one day
We decided to be the only band that wouldn't play a note
Under any circumstances
Silence
Music's original alternative
Root's grunge

Quote:


Be -double E double are you-N-beer run
Be -double E double are you-N-beer run
All we need is a ten and five-er,
Car and key and a sober driver,
Be -double E double are you-N-beer run



I was singing Beer Run this afternoon. Love Todd Snider

Not for me to understand.
I remember him when he was still a proud man.
A vandal's smile, a baseball in his right hand
And nothing but the blue sky in his eyes.

Your values is in disarray, prioritizing horribly, unhappy with the riches 'cause you're piss poor morally.

There ain't nothin' short of dyin'
Half as lonesome as the sound
On the sleepin' city sidewalks

I reach to the sky and call out your name, and if I could trade, I would.

I only realized what this song about last year.

"He was brutally handsome, and she was terminally pretty"

Also
"We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl"

Finally
"A bottle of red, a bottle of white
Whatever kind of mood you're in tonight
I'll meet you anytime you want
In our Italian Restaurant"

Ok, that last one isn't a line but it's an awesome song!

SIAP

Jesus rides beside me
He never buys any smokes

And in the end
The love you make
Is equal to the live you take

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Gig 'em! '90

They're sharing a drink called loneliness, but it's better than drinking alone.

Speaking of Billy Joel, how about this line/lines?

Elvis Costello has a way with lyrics:

She's got eyes like saucers, oh you think she's a dish

And

Don't put your heart out on your sleeve
When your remarks are off the cuff


But my hat tip goes to Tenacious D:

This is not the greatest song in the world, no
This is just a tribute
Couldn't remember the greatest song in the world, no
This is just a tribute

It is more than one line, and the lyrics only get better from there.

And I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari, Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Driven the back roads, so I wouldn't get weighed
And if you give me ... weed, whites, and wine
And you show me a sign, I'll be willin'
To be movin'

Sorry, I can't play by the rules. This Verse by Jason Isbell might be one of the best written verses I've ever heard.



"A heart on the run keeps a hand on the gun you can't trust anyone
I was so sure what I needed was more tried to shoot out the sun
Days when we raged, we flew off the page such damage was done
But I made it through, cause somebody knew I was meant for someone"

Chris Knight has a million great one liners but my favorite by him is probably "I hear people saying like father like son, don't think about it much-but I worry about it some."
