Subject: RE: best single lines
Too late, but never mind.
I hear the noise of wings.
If ever you heard a little dog bark
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with His heel
She makes a small hole in the frost on the window
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet delta dawn.
And Mary gathered cherries while Joseph stood around.
And pass as light by him as he can by me
First flower of their wilderness, star of their night
Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun.
Till the rain comes tumbling down.
Follow me, follow me home.
I'll pass the time like some machine
There'll be no policemen there
And painted rooms are bonny
And now I have lived, I know not how long
Tie my bones to his back, turn our faces to the west
Amid these dark satanic mills
If I were a woman as I am a man
It will all come right by tomorrow night
Die Liebe dauert oder dauert nicht
And turns to set the mirror gently face down on the stove
Unsre beiden Schatten sahn wie einer aus.
And some of them will marry, and one will marry me.
Give motherlove and lumpytums.
With smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go
Seduced a maid who hanged herself one Monday in her garters.
Just need you, baby, when the summer come.
I'm tired of living and scared of dying
The silent stars go by.
Alas! It was to none but me.
Trudno vyskazat' i ne vyskazat'
Your face will shine through all our tears
And in the fight that followed
But not so little boys
Cool Colorado rain
This world is a world of lies.
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
Rozhenkes mit mandeln
Put my boots on tall, read the writing on the wall
Rocks the cradle and cries
We weren't lovers like that, and besides, it would still be all right.
Greasy rails, red clay trails
I'd say snow's what we've got.
Chickens crowing on Sourwood Mountain
Sweated in the sun that was hot at dawn
Sweet whips ding dong
Let the 2:19 ease my troubled mind
She said she'd meet me when I come
Oh, when will we ever learn?
