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.

If my colors all run dry
Yes if I ever lose my eyes

Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits." Tool -(Ae)nema
