Favorite line or two from a song (NOT entire verse!)

[22803]

Jay Z - "oh my god"

"what you call money...i pay more in taxes"

[heater]

I couldn't tell you that I was wrong,
chickened out, grabbed a pen and paper, sat down and I wrote this song.
I couldn't tell you that you were right,
so instead I looked in the mirror,
watched TV, laid awake all night.

Barenaked Ladies - What a Good Boy

It makes me well up every time I hear it.

[bernie]

"6 nights full of love bizarre"

Lords of Acid lyrics rock!

"You're lying on your back with your head on the edge of the bed, the bootie's two feet from your head."

"Life is not a bitch, life is a beautiful woman! You only call her a bitch 'cause she won't let you get that pussy"
-Aesop Rock, "Daylight"

not necessarily my favorite, but very quotable, and i didn't feel like thinking hard

[NoahSD]

If I could forget myself,
find another lie to tell--
If I had a soul to sell,
I'd buy some time to talk to my brain cell.
-Beck, "Elevator Music"

A little later in the song:

"Everybody working hard til the yards all clean.
The dishes wash good in the washing machine.
Then you brush your teeth, and you comb back your hair;
you drive your vehicle like you just doesn't care."
