Best single lines in rock lyrics

“If people were cars
I’d be covered with scars”

Shivaree - Bossa Nova

From that same song:

Well I think I hate you
Isn’t this fun?
You’re gonna shoot
And I darling loaded the gun

Did you hear what I say?
You can’t fall down the stairs
Two times the same way

Stop singing that song
I’ll stand hard like a tree
Yeah, you make me sick
You red razor nick
get your hot hands off me

Hit a bump and somebody screamed
You should’ve heard just what I seen

  • Bo Diddley

From The Warning

If karma doesn’t hit you, then I will
Animosity

I’m not in danger, I’m the danger now
Evolve

This love was just too much to take
The words come out like razor blades
Copper Bullets

Turn up the future, forget about the past!

AC/DC

We all know success when we all find our own dreams
And our love is enough to knock down any walls
And the future’s been seen as men try to realize
The simple secret of the note in us all

Pure And Easy / Pete Townshend

Out of college, money spent, see no future, pay no rent. All the money’s gone, nowhere to go-

The Beatles, You Never Give Me Your Money

Don’t feed the people but we feed the machines

Rush, “Territories”

Guess I have to break the news, that I got no mind to lose

The Ramones - Teenage Lobotomy

Now I guess I’ll have to tell em
That I got not cerebellum

I get the joy of rediscovering you.

“Faithfully” by Journey

Now I have to get up off my knees because I have some shopping to do

“Do you Take This Man?” by Diamanda Galás

Oof…

I thought I had a quiet place
Where I could learn how to catch my childhood dreams
But on my left and to my right they keep on shouting
While I’m just stuck here in between

Renegade / Steppenwolf

Actually, it’s the Blues, but nevertheless, a great line.

“Went back to the house

Opened up the door

She took everything

And the dog took a shit on the floor.”

Keb Mo - The Worst is Yet to Come.
