Best single line lyric in a song?

You might not ever get rich
But let me tell you, it's better than diggin' a ditch.
 
Guns and Roses Night train

I got one life left in a nine live cat, I got a dog eat dog sly smile.

I got a Molotov cocktail with a match to go, I smoke my cigarette with style.
 
You're all just pissin' in the wind
You don't know it but you are.

And there ain't nothin' like a friend
Who can tell you you're just pissin' in the wind.
 
The were surprised to see us so the greeted us with palms
They asked for ammunition, acts of contrition and small arms
 
Grew a mustache and a mullet
got a job at Chick-Fil-A
Sighting artistic differences
The band broke up in May
 
You're hard to get to know, but you're easy to spot in a crowd.
 
best at the moment

We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be okay.

Leonard Cohen-Sisters of Mercy

I don't want another heartbreak
I don't need another turn to cry, no
I don't want to learn the hard way
Baby hello, oh no, goodbye
But you got me like a rocket
Shooting straight across the sky
 
one more cup of coffee
for the road
one more cup of coffee
before I go

to the valley below
 
"I'm runnin' hot but there's nowhere to go"

"Walk that walk hopin' nobody knows"

"She was rich but I was beautiful"
 
There were bells on the hill
But I never heard them ringing,
No, I never heard them at all
Till there was you.
 
I always hear the Beatles version.

I have heard both. At one point I could sing the entire score of the Music Man.

My white knight, not a Lancelot, nor an angel with wings...

Slide of hand, twist of fate, on a bed of nails she makes me wait
