favorite line from a song?

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say, women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean you'll know
you will know
 
Everything's fucked up
It's all crashing down
And it takes a worried man
Now, to sing a worried song.
 
(more Leonard Cohen for this thread...)

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
...
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows

And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows
 
Now it's guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music
Lonely, lonely streets that I call home
Yeah my guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on
 
I've seen the nations rise and fall,
I've heard the stories, heard them all.
Love's the only engine
of survival.
 
I'm sick of walking on your landmines;
I'm sick of falling on your trip lines.
I'm gonna take another ride
And turn it around;
It's time for you to realize that
I'm gonna get out on the last train;
I'm gonna catch it on the fast lane.
I'm gonna put it in your mind and turn it around;
I'm gonna draw it on the line.
 
I once was lost but now I'm found
The music washes over and you're one with the sound
Well, who shall inherit the earth? The meek shall
And, yo, I think I'm starting to peak now, Al
And the man upstairs, I hope that he cares
If I had a penny for my thoughts, I'd be a millionaire
We're just three emcees and we're on the go
Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego!

I've got money like Charles Dickens
I've got the girlies in the Coupe like the Colonel's got the chickens
 
She said,
"Listen here young lady
All that matters is what makes you happy
But you leave this house knowing my opinion
It won't make a difference if you're not ready."
 
When it feels like the world's gone mad
And there's nothing you can do about it
No, there's nothing you can do about it
When it feels like the world's gone mad
And there's nothing you can do about it
No, there's nothing you can do about it

So tell me what's the news
And what is it you want me to see
We're lying to ourselves
And dancing by the light of the screen

World Gone Mad, Bastille
 
Got my laundry on the back seat,
My itinerary too,
Don't you just wish
You could make half the speed I do?

Knopfler
 
'Til now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
 
tl;dr but doubt this is anyone's specific...

Said I seen you today you was standin' on a corner
Leaning up against a post
I said but I'm tired
I've been walkin' all day

Has become a family joke. When wife asks me to do something, I invoke the above line from George Thorogood's version of House Rent Blues.

While driving through Canada late at night, wife was snoozing. On the radio was Norman Greenbaum's 'Spirit In The Sky'. She wakes up in a startle and yells,

"Cheese Sauce!"

WTF? Had to drag out a CD and replay. Yup, "...gotta have a friend in Jesus", did a Mondegreen in her sleepy state.

Bought her a bumper sticker to commemorate the moment,

HONK if you love cheese sauce
 
Panic in Detroit, I asked for an autograph
He wanted to stay home, I wish someone would phone...
 
Yeah, you know I love you
I'll do anything you tell me to
Yeah, you know I love you baby
 
Throw it out and keep it in
(I don't know why)
Have to have poison skin
(I don't know why)
Stay
Stay away
Stay away
Stay away
