Best line in a song?

[Avenger]

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

Her clothes were packed in boxes with some pots and pans, books and a toaster.
Just then, a mouse scurried across the floor.
We started laughing until it didn't hurt.
- "Album of the Year" (The Good Life)

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way.
- Pink Floyd (Time)

And after a while
You can work on points for style
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye and the easy smile
You've got to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their back on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in...
You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
You know it's gonna get harder, harder and harder... as you get older
And in the end you'll pack up
Fly down south
Hide your head in the sand
Just another sad old man
All alone, dying of cancer
