Tool - Lateralus
“We’ll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one’s been”
Pink Floyd - Dogs
“And it’s too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around”
Zappa: “Let’s Make The Water Turn Black”
We see them after school in a world of their own
To some it might seem creepy what they do
The neighbors on the right sat and watched them every night
I bet you’d do the same if they was you
Well, since we’ve abandoned the “single line” concept, here’s favorite stanza from Donovan’s “Happiness Runs”:
Little pebble upon the sand
Now you’re lying here in my hand
How many years have you been here?
Little human upon the sand
From where I’m lying here in your hand
You to me are but a passing breeze
Also Chuckie the B:
Marlo Venus was a beautiful lass
She had the world in the palm of her hand
She lost both her arms in a wrestling match
To meet a brown eyed handsome man
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse, Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone, I cannot put my finger on it now
Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb
Post/user name alert
More Neil…
But every junkie’s like a settin’ sun
The Needle and the Damage Done
A dreamer of pictures, I run in the night
You see us together chasing the moonlight
Cinnamon Girl
Hello cowgirl in the sand
Is this place at your command
Cowgirl in the Sand
He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Cortez the Killer
“A marvel to be seen, dysentary green.”
“Last night I saw a naked cowgirl. She was floating across the ceiling.”
ZZ Top - My Head’s in Mississippi
Speak for yourself
A beautifully tragic song.
I’ve seen the needle and the damage done.
In a similar vein.
Needlework the way, never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Metallica
There was also a locally-played remake of “Love Shack” called “Butt Crack.”
From that number, I thought the following image was quite vivid:
Did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake?
ACK I just got Micheal McDonalded. My goodness. Give me a sec, here…(oofed)
I’d opt more for the Springsteen Bruce, along with Niel, Joni, Bob, Beatles, and several more that could easily warrant their own thread.
The greatest thing Kris Kristofferson ever did - penning that.
In stiff competition, of course, with Not when he looked so fierce from “Bungalow Bill”.
and fly stuff
I guess ya got me under your magic spell
Right between heaven and hell
– JW, “Can’t You Feel It” (Featuring what may well be the happiest, feel-good guitar solo of all time.)
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letterbox is another line (or fragment of?.. certainly stands fine on its own) that I like from “Uni”.
Captain Beefheart:
A squid eating dough in a polyetheylene bag is fast and bulbous. Got me?
and
When I’m dancing with my love
The shadows flicker up above
Up above the shadows do the candle mambo.
Not the Dope’s biggest Cat Stevens fan, probably, but I always thought “Sad Lisa” had some fine stuff, like:
She sits in a corner by the door
There must be more I can tell her
If she really wants me to help her
I’ll do what I can to show her the way
And maybe one day I will free her
Though I know no one can see her
Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa
Some consider that overwrought in a “precious” way (Paulene Kael opined “mushy-minded lyrics”) - I actually thought that was just really straightforward sublimity. Also the fine way CS sung it.
Lately when I smell you, baby, oh my goddamn.
– Butthole Surfers, “Lady Sniff”
Hour by hour
day by day
love leaks out
and goes away.
-The Residents " Love Leaks Out"
To be fair, Zevon warns Jim that his lungs may be ripped out if he doesn’t keep his distance. So, its not a “violence against women” song at all. That’s really a stretch, IMHO.
Not even my favorite lines in that song! I’d nominate:
They haunt this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of burned-out Chevrolets
And this savage line from Bernie and Elton:
Mongrels who ain’t got a penny sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground
And of course Mr. Berry:
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news
You guys left out - Roy Orbison singing for the lonely. Hey, that’s me and I want you only.
Thank you! That was powerful and cathartic. The reason Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is my favorite movie. Catharsis.
I wanted to quote the whole song, but was restricted by the parameters set forth in the OP. All we need, though, is a few more folks to come through with individual lines and we’ll get most of Thunder Road covered! 
From the live version of “Ballad of a Thin Man” on Before the Flood: “You should be made to be wearing a telephone.”
