Who's got a cool 1 liner in a song.
Not entire verse, not entire chorus or bridge

Just a cool 1 liner in a song.

I'll start.
Artist - Metallica
Written by - James Hetfield.
Song title - No Leaf Clover.

"And it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of the tunnel is just a freight train coming your way"

Think about that line.

My interpretation of that lyric is.
We have all felt like that in our lives, where everything feels hopeless, when you feel like you finally worked your way through somthing difficult, and you think you finally did it, you can see the light, you get your hopes up.
Then oh no Wrong.
you find out that your still fucked.

I think that is one hell of a song lyric.

I'd love to hear how you interpret that lyric, and what's a 1 liner from a song that you love that has a bit of meaning.

Everclear - Heroin Girl

'I used to know a girl, she had 2 pierced nipples and a black tattoo"

Reminds me of Uni every time I hear that song.

Yeah I know this goes against the thread .. but sorry, every lines a fave .. plus awesome guitar progression and cords ..

John Lennon’
Norwegian Wood ..,

I once had a girl
Or should I say she once had me
She showed me her room
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?

She asked me to stay
And she told me to sit anywhere
So I looked around
And I noticed there wasn't a chair

I sat on a rug biding my time
Drinking her wine
We talked until two and then she said
"It's time for bed"

She told me she worked
In the morning and started to laugh
I told her I didn't
And crawled off to sleep in the bath

And when I awoke I was alone
This bird had flown
So I lit a fire
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?

Sunday morning coming down.
Kris Kristofferson.

Well, I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
So I had one more for dessert
Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt

My Way - Frank Sinatra

"For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels"

Metallica song : Disposable heroes.
A very meaningful pre chorus that's accompanied by a great James Hetfield riff and Cliff Burton bass line.

*Soldier boy, made of clay
Now an empty shell
Twenty one, only son
But he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
Do just as we say
Finished here, greetings death
He's yours to take away*

Plenty of AC/DC or the Angels, but

After almost 43 years of marriage

Meatloaf - Paradise by the dashboard light

The first 6 minutes or so are about what I recall

But then my reality hits......

So now I'm praying for the end of time
to hurry up and arrive
Coz if I've got spend another minute with you
I dont think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise
Or forget my vow................
