Best single line lyric in a song?

Tons of lines from Joanna Newsom songs:


I will swallow your sadness and eat your cold clay
Just to lift your long face



Blows rain upon the one you loved
And though you were only sparring
There's blood on the eye, unlace the glove
Say, honey, I am not sorry



If I knew you, once,
now I know you less,
In the sinking sand,
where we've come to rest,
have I had a hand in your loneliness?



I wasn't born of a whistle
Or milked from a thistle at twilight
No, I was all horns and thorns
Sprung out fully formed, knock-kneed and upright



My love, I swear by the air I breathe:
Sooner or later, you'll bare your teeth
I need to dig out some Joanna. :heart:

Marilyn Manson 'saint'

I've got an F and a C and I got a K too
And the only thing missing is a bitch like you
 
hey...

As I was saying to Kippies, for me it's either "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die" by Johnny Cash or "two lovers missing the tranquillity of solitude" by The Jam.

What you got?


"I ain't trying to get over, I don't need what you got...
just trying to keep whats mine and yeah it ain't a lot,
then POTUS talking steak--, giving nuttn but shit--;
"Don't ask if I remember because I never forget!"
RISE UP!!!
