Best line in a song?
unlike "Best Lyrics?". cos I am just looking for the one line you think rules the ass off all others?
My nominations have got to be... "Oh Lord when he shook his head...!" Mr Bojangles - Frank, Sammy, Nina, Robbie. Take your pick. All the greats did this one. But Sammy D's very is the best. "And please don't put your life in the hands, of a rock and roll band..." Don't Look Back in Anger - Oasis. "In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American Dream, at night we ride in mansions of glory and suicide machines..." Born To Run - Bruce Springsteen. "I can hear her heart beat, from a thousand miles..." Crazy Love - Van Morrison i'll think of more as they come to me |

'Open up my eyes, Flooded with daylight, another sleepless night turns colour black and white' Finch - Three Simple Words 'Every generation blames the one before' Mike and the Mechanics - In the Living years 'You win some, Lose some, Its all the same to me' Motorhead - Ace of Spades 'Cause It's always raining in my head, Forget all the things I should have said' Staind - Epiphany 'Shes my Cherry Pie, put a smile on your face ten miles wide' Warrant - Cherry Pie 'Please don't say we'll never find a way, And tell me all my love's in vain' Derek and the Dominoes - Layla 'Bring you to a simmer, Right on time, Run my greasy fingers, Up your greasy spine' Alice Cooper - Feed my Frankenstein But even after all that the best thing I've heard in a song is Apache by the Shadows for the simple fact that the music is so good they didn't need to add the words. |

Song lines that can't get old...I think
The whole song of Disciple by Slayer, unbelieveable, hard to pick out just one line from that. "Moving on is a simple thing, what it leaves behind is hard" - "A Tout Le Monde" - Megadeth "My pistol is loaded, I shot Betty Crocker. Deliver Kernal Sanders down to Davey Jones locker" - "Rhymin and Stealin" - Beastie Boys. (I always thought it was "ADRENALINE, LODDY, i said, BABY CRACKER!) "You don't know what its like to be in me, you don't know what I survived and you never would believe" - "Pig Society" - Dope. The end of Latarelus by Tool "Dont think your having all the fun, you know me, I hate everyone" - "Wish" - Nine Inch Nails. "Its the guy from the hamburger train, mate" - "Hamburger Train" - Primus. "I feel the dream in me expire, and there is noone left to blame it on" - "Fine Again" - Seether. |
