favorite lyric LINES in a song

THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN THE 'FAVORITE LYRICS' THREAD

what are the most memorable one-liners in a song? these are ones that i keep saying in my head over and over and over ...


"we be to rap what key be to lock" -- butterfly (in digable planet's "rebirth of slick")


"fucked so many ho's i'm in the hall of fame" -- kid rock (in kid rock & eminem's "fuck off")

"if your ass is a chinese restaurant I'll have the poo-poo platter" -- jimmy pop ali (opening to bloodhound gang's "i wish i was queer so i could get chicks")

"life's short and hard like a body-building elf " -- jimmy pop ali (in bloodhound gang's "lift your head up high and blow your brains out")

"so what if I'm not the smartest peanut in the turd" -- jimmy pop ali (in bloodhound gang's "three point one four")

"i was lonelier than kunta kente at a merle haggard concert that night I strolled on into uncle limpy's hump palace lookin' for love." -- jimmy pop ali (in bloodhound gang's "a lapdance is so much better when the stripper is crying")

 

Take a look to the sky just before you die. It's the last time you will

-Metallica - Fade to Black

Got some death to do.

-Metallica - Sanitarium

I am the ambassador, I'll kick your assitor

-Vandals - Eurobarge

What do you mean I don't support your system, I go to court when I have to.

-Megadeth - Peace sells

 

I always liked this pile of words

Prince,"Gett Off"

"-In my paisley crib
Whatcha want 2 eat? "Ribs"
Ha, toy, I don't serve ribs...
U better be happy that dress is still on
I heard the rip when u sat down

Honey them hips is gone
That's alright, I clock 'em that way
Remind me of something James used to say...

"I like 'em fat"
"I like 'em proud"
"Ya gotta have a mother for me"

Now move your big ass 'round this way
So I can work on that zipper, baby
Tonight your a star
And I'm the big dipper"

 

These 2

"Sign O the Times mess with your mind
Hurry before it's 2 late
Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby
We'll call him Nate... if it's a boy"

or..

"Built like she was
She had the nerve 2 ask me
If I planned 2 do her any harm

So, look here
I put her on the back of my bike
And-a we went riding
Down by old man Johnson's farm

I said now, overcast days never turned me on
But something about the clouds and her mixed

She wasn't 2 bright
But I could tell when she kissed me
She knew how 2 get her kicks"...

Everybody join in now...

She wore a Raspberry Beret...

 

Good call. I dunno if I'd quote so much BHG though



Stop the bus
I wanna be lonely
when seconds pass slowly and years go flying by
You gotta stop the bus
I get off here
enough's enough
and I'm leaving this factory
-Ben Folds Five, Jackson Cannery

Re: Re: favorite lyric LINES in a song

Someone write this down. Mag and I actually agree on something.

 

"blah blah blah...skip over all your posts, except for not really, of course." Step two in recovery from dealing with me apparently is redemption.

 

'You can spend all your time makin' money.
You can spend all your love makin' time.'
