Best Line in a Song

[FurCoat]

Soon I discovered that this rock thing was true
Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil
Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet
All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world
So there was only one thing that I could do
Was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long

-Ministry

 

[FurCoat]

Because you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
'Cause we're them old boys raised on shotguns
We say grace, and we say ma'am
If you ain't into that, we don't give a damn

-Bocephus

 

[FurCoat]

I'd have every girl child sent to Georgia to learn to smile
And talk with that Southern accent that drives men wild

-Bocephus

 

[FurCoat]

I was drunk the day my mama got out of prison
And I went to pick her up in the rain
But before I could get to the station in the pickup truck
She got ran over by a damned old train.

-David Allen Coe

I have spent many a night in my youth singing this song along with a bar full of drunks, in perfect harmony I might add. Some of you know the type of seedy joints I'm talking about, The ones the serve beer in a red solo cup...for everyone's safety.

 

[jguss]

You could have a steam train
If you’d just lay down your tracks
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back

[Skatutakee]

If you give me weed, whites, and wine
And you show me a sign
Then I’ll be willin to be movin

 

[elessar]

It's faster horses,
Younger women,
Older whiskey,
More money.

-Tom T Hall

 

[pantsBoots]

"And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine."

 

[jaytex1969]

The power-mad freaks who are ruling the earth
Will show how little they think you're worth
With animal lust they'll devour your life
And slice your word to bits like a knife
One last day burning hell fire
You're blown away
If the man with the power
Can't keep it under control
Some heads are gonna roll

-Judas Priest

[dino]

We gotta stay cool tonight, Eddie
'Cause man, we got ourselves out on that line
And if we blow this one
They ain't gonna be looking for just me this time

 

[cosmicfolklore]

But there's a vantage point... and it takes some time to find... where you can see how all the pieces fit... as you watch 'em fall apart...

Willie Nelson and Bonnie Raitt

 

[cosmicfolklore]

I can call you Betty, and Betty, when you call me, you can call me Al...
Call me...
Na na na na, na na na na
Na na na na, na na na-na na-na
Na na na na, na-na na-na na na
Na na na na, na na na na

 

[CoffeeAndBourbon]

They knew all the right people they took all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties they paid heavily bills
There were lines on the mirror lines on her face
She pretended not to notice she was caught up in the race

 

[CoffeeAndBourbon]

Well, show me the way
To the next whisky bar
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why

The Doors

 

[cosmicfolklore]

I've tried to listen to that damned PFish band, but they have the worst lyrics in the history of music and they sound like someone tied all of their instruments to the back of a truck and dragged them through the parking lot. If anyone likes this band, I'm sure there's a 12 step program that can help.

The muscles flex the mother's ring
She fastens children to her king
and sends him down the crooked street
When he returns, the birth's complete

WTF???

 

[cosmicfolklore]

The Grateful Dead have some great lyrics, but also many of them give me a WTF response also. I am actually surprised that no one has posted any of their lyrics on any of my lyric threads. But, this one creeps me out...

Talk about your plenty, talk about your ills, one man gathers what another man spills...

Makes me think of hippies out gathering urine from the bathrooms at concerts, or worse... blech. But, I'd probably like this group more if they could keep a song down below 15 minutes long.

[boatme99]

Well I don't want dream forever
In the shadow of your leaving me

So I light another cigarette
And try to remember to forget.

 

[boatme99]

If you chew tobacco and wish upon a star
You'll find out where the scarecrows sit just like
punchlines between the cars

 

[captainsousie]

I've no more ****s to give.
