favorite line from a song?

And on a pretty Sunday morning
a bunch of pretty Baptist girls
linked their pretty hands and sang:
Life is shit, life is shit
The world is shit, the world is shit
and this is life as I know it.
this is life as I know it.
 
Watch the news and be afraid
Should they tell you who you should hate?
Well...
Doesn't matter what you believe
It looks the same when you bleed
 
This Rhyme makes me happy.

"The conquering worm
The slithering germ
Lost in black sleep
I see how the gods weep
The horror of Madness
The terminal sadness
The cool air of mourning
Gave me the warning"
 
Pick up your feet
Got to move to the trick of the beat
There is no elite
Just take your place in the driver's seat…
 
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know, you're alive
 
Clowns to the left of me!
Jokers to the right!
Here I am stuck in the middle with you.
 
She's a kindhearted lady.
She studies evil all the time
She's a kindhearted woman!
She studies evil all the time
 
This is a little more than a couple of lines, but I think y'all will appreciate it all the same. This is from "New Sensations" by Lou Reed:

I took my GPZ out for a ride
The engine felt good between my thighs
The air felt cool, it was forty degrees outside

I rode to Pennsylvania near the Delaware Gap
Sometimes I got lost and had to check the map
I stopped at a roadside diner for a burger and a coke

There were some country folk and some hunters inside
Somebody got themselves married and somebody died
I went to the jukebox and played a hillbilly song

They were arguing about football as I waved and went outside
And headed for the mountains feeling warm inside
I love that GPZ so much you know I could kiss her

So much misery, so much indifference
To so much suffering, we can become tempted
By appeals to hatred
This world ain't nothing more than what we make of it
 
Don't you know that I could make
A dream that's barely half-awake come true
I wanted to say
But anything I could have said
I felt somehow that you already knew
Coming up close
Everything sounds like welcome home
Come home
 
Father Christmas give us some money
Don’t mess around with those silly toys
We’ll beat you up if you don’t hand it over…
 
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river.

(Jus' a drop of David Gilmour for you all. 'Division Bell')
 
to 2021:

You're s'posed to hold me down,
But you just holding me back

And that's the sound
Of me not calling you back

We've paid in hell since Moscow burned
As Cossacks tear us piece by piece
Our dead are strewn a hundred leagues
Though death would be a sweet release.

Save my soul from evil, Lord
And heal this soldier's heart
I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord
I'm done with Bonaparte

"Done with Bonaparte" - Mark Knopfler

"Golden Heart", the album, has to be one of the absolute best compositions/albums Knopfler has written.
