Thread Name: best single lines in songs
Subject: RE: best single lines
'getting high on the beer and the atmosphere of a good time' 'cigerette smoke and bad jokes hang in the air' 'all the songs we hate, but we sing them anyway.' all from 'Ginnie' by Fairport Convention. a song that means a lot to me as it so perfectly describes the best possible times and reminds me of sitting listening to my brother playing/singing it....

'she'd feel alone in a crowded room. cry when ever she heard a happy tune' - 'Julie' by the Levellers, another great song. and perhaps the greatest of all the Levellers songs -

'theres only one way of life, and thats your own.'

oh yes, and for the cynic in you... 'every silver lining has a cloud.' ! - 'smile' by the Supernaturals, that one line redeems what would otherwise be a rather naff band!
