favorite line from a song?

i'm sorry for what you have learned
when you feel the tables turn
to run so hard
in your race
now you found who set the pace
the landed aristocracy
exploiting all your enmity
 
The Mississippi delta
was shining
like the national guitar
 
A beach is a place where a man can feel
He's the only soul in the world that's real
 
I still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my face
And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see you
Walkin' on the back roads, by the rivers flowing gentle on my mind
 
i never was good at sleeping while the moon was full

my view tonight...

Baggage car goes quickly by, I see my case and I start to cry
Stumble to the lounge to be alone
While I'm trying to get some rest, bite my lips and try my best
To fight the pain that's making me leave home
 
Sinking by the Cure from 1985...so odd to have the same song hit SO differently as time passes and you better understand the lyrics at a far deeper level:

I am slowing down
As the years go by
I am sinking
So I trick myself
Like everybody else
The secrets I hide
Twist me inside
They make me weaker
So I trick myself
Like everybody else
I crouch in fear and wait
I'll never feel again...
If only I could remember
Anything at all
 
We can't do it over
They say it's now or never and all we're ever gettin' is older
Before we get to heaven, baby let's give 'em hell
We might as well
'Cause we don't know when we're done
So let's love hard, live fast, die fun
 
You on that bullshit, I'm on that dirtbike
I'm on that 12 o'clock, you on that road rash
You on that credit line, I'm on that cold cash
 
he says baby
don't listen to what they say
there comes a time when you have to break away
he says baby
there are things we all cling to all our life
it's time to let 'em go, and become my wife
 
But if you think that Jesus Christ is coming
Honey you've got another thing coming
 
Why is it that anything on this Earth
We do not understand
We are pushed down on our knees
To worship or to damn?
