favorite line from a song?

No regrets, coyote
I just get off up aways
You just picked up a hitcher
A prisoner of the white lines on the freeway
 
I could play nice or I could be a bully
I'm tired and angry, but somebody should be
 
Met him at the back of the bar on Saturday
I said, "I don't drink"
He bought me one anyway
Sometimes I don't wanna act myself
 
Enemies of metal, your death is our reward.
 
A great if troubling song from the Decmerists. "The Rake's Song."

What can one do when one is widower
Shamefully saddled with three little pests
All that I wanted was the freedom of a new life
So my burden I began to divest
 
I've got this feeling
And I got this shovel
Between me and you and it
You're in a little trouble
 
Freddie B.

Back when I was a kid, life was going swell
'Til something happened, blew everything to hell
That night my daddy stumbled in, all pale and weak
Said "A woman up the block just gave birth to a geek."
Mom said, "Sell it to the circus, what the heck!"
Dad said, "Nope, this one's a pencil neck
And if there's one thing lower than a sideshow freak
It's a grit eatin', scum suckin', pencil neck geek."

No one around me knows
Who I am, what I'm on
Who I've hurt and where they've gone
 
good morning worm, your honor
the crown will plainly show the pris'ner
who now stands before you
was caught redhanded showing feelings
showing feelings of an almost human nature.

this will not do
 
If it comes from the whiskey, then pour me a drink
If it comes from the heartache, let me feel the sting
If it comes from the spirits, set 'em loose in this room
Either way tonight it's just me and the truth
