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

[whiskeytown]

my bud Bill Mallonee wrote these lines in the song Resplendent - (Emmylou Harris sang backup on it)

Honey we're all resplendent, yah honey we are all thrift store
Like a wino with a twenty dollar bill, forever and eternally yours"

There's a line from a Townes Van Zandt tune called My Proud Mountains that almost chokes me up when I sing it - (practicing for a TVZ tribute show in Mpls in March) - I think it summarizes up my life pretty well.

Well, I sometimes went hungry, with my pockets all bare
Lord, I sometimes had good luck, with money to spare"

Xzibit, "LA Niggaz"

"You'll catch a flatline dead on the floor,
better than yours driven away gettin head from a whore."

[ilya]

see me in the street
your jewelry you can keep it
that'll be our little secret

and pretty much every j-ro lyric ever

oh, and

"Oh -even your mother is a crook/people are shiny like a brand new book
but if -I get/you take- a closer look
there's [censored] on every -road you took/hand you shook
You don't believe me?
Read the book/ Look at your hand." sung concurrently

[edfurlong]

I ain't the one, the
one to get played like a pooh butt

[Annorax]

She don't like losing, to her it's still a game
And though she will [censored] up your life,
You'll want her just the same, and now I know
She has a built in ability
To take everything she sees
And now it seems I've fallen, fallen for her.

I sat here for ten minutes trying to decide, and couldn't come up with any that stand out over the others.

But I was reminded of a story from my youth. It was the mid-80's, and I was down at the local poolroom, waiting for the rest of the regulars to arrive so we could start our afternoon game of Hearts. One of the old guys says, "I watched 'Saturday Night Live' last night. They had this guy Hammer as the musical guest. He kept singing, 'Too legit, too legit to quit! Too legit, too legit to quit!' I kept waiting for the next verse, but that was it, the same line over and over. 'Too legit, too legit to quit!'

"This guy's another Ira Gershwin!"

The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older.
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

I could fill this thread with hundreds of Dead and Floyd lyrics.

We could drive through the city no doubt, but don't say my car's topless
say the titties is out
