"Cause it's a bittersweet
symphony, this life.
Trying to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die."
from Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve
I like it..cause it's so depressingly true.
"I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same." by the Wallflowers.
It's like I know I'm the same person, but in alot of ways I'm different but the same!! huhh!!!!
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy.
"Always remember there is nothing worth sharing like the love that let us share our name"

Sorry..............I just couldn't resist.......there's plenty more where they came from..........
Man, this is tough...
The first that comes to mind is this line from "Fire Water Burn" by The Bloodhound Gang
"But if I go to hell then I hope I burn well,
I'll spend my days with J.F.K., Marvin Gaye, Martha Raye, and Lawrence Welk,
And Kurt Cobain, Kojak, Mark Twain and Jimi Hendrix's poltergeist,
And Webster yeah Emmanuel Lewis cause he's the anti-christ"
(Hope that's not too much?)
Not sure why.... But I always loved that lyric 
There's a few good lines in that song. Here's a link to the censored version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXdLpjmk … re=related
"Sin is a wound that just doesn't bleed; the price you pay for what you concede"
That's mine!
The rich stay healthy, while the sick stay poor - U2 When Love Comes to Town
"Oh, let the world crash love can take it
Oh, let the world go crashing down
Oh, let the world crash love can take it
Love can take a little
Love can give a little
Love can take a little more"
"A Little More" by Skillet
Also...
"Seeing is believing, but belief is not like faith
Faith takes chances, and faith move mountains..."
"Play It Safe" by Dizmas
And daddy did his best, the only thing he could.
He'd just say hold that candle higher son
while mama splits the wood!! 
Mine!!
"Welcome to two thousand three minus twenty five
Oh Say can you smell her for the smoke,
God's still up there laughin' so He's gotta be alive
And who says he can't take a dirty joke?"
- The Year 2003 Minus 25, off the Waylon and Willie album
'Serves Me Right To Suffer', the name says it all on that one. There's something more ironic and painful about the blues when its all your fault, and that song's a great example of how a simple statement can make such an emotional impact.... to me anyway.
I should be so lucky - lucky lucky lucky, I should be so lucky...
Kylie Minogue - I should be so lucky
smell the irony!
I was thinking of an eminem song, a line from " im sorry momma" but I could not type the words in here and if I were to replace the swear words the line would look like this
******* ********** if @*&^* you little @>?:*& nothing
he really does have some great lines in his songs.

I have lots of favorites...here's just one by Gnarls Barkley's "Does That Make Me Crazy":
I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that phase
........
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much
One more by Roger Waters "Hello (I Love You)":
The ghosts are walking by my side
I feel their love, I feel their pride
For I have built a bridge or two,
Bridges between me and you
"The World is your Oyster, but your future's a Clam."
The Jam, taken off the single "When you're young."
and another jam one
If people were meant to live in boxes god would have given them string
to tie around themselves at bedtime, stop their dreams falling through the ceiling.
superb
Ken
Ace stuff. Weller was literally just a kid when he was writing all that stuff as well Ken.
"Whispers in the shadows - gruff blazing voices, hating, waiting.
Hey boy they shout - have you got any money?
And I said, I've a little money, and a takeaway curry, I'm on the way home to my Wife. She'll be lining up the cutlery, you know she's expecting me.
Polishing the glasses and pulling out the cork.
I'm down in the Tube-Station at midnight."
Saw The Jam at the Liverpool Empire in 1978 when I were a youth. On their Apocalypse tour.
The love affair has never left me since that night bud.
not sure which is my fav.....got lots, but i like the line from
the Relient K song "Getting Into You"
"When i've made up my mind, And my heart along with that. To live not for myself but yet for God somebody said,'Do you know what you are getting yourself into'"
A favorite today, because I'm in a silly mood...
From Jim Croce's Roller Derby Queen,
"She was built like a 'frigerator with a head"
And another because I have to sing it so often. From the lullaby I sing each night to my girls, which is John McCutcheon's Featherbed:
"If I was a hair ribbon, and my color it was blue, I'd be ten times as beautiful 'cause I'd be wearing you."
- Zurf
"I got tears in my ears from lying on my back, crying my eyes out over you."
"How can I miss you if you won't leave?"
"You ripped my heart out and stomped a mudhole in it."
And a man comes on the television telling me "how white my shirts can be, but I can't be a man because he does'nt smoke the same cigarettes as me." *Rolling Stones*from "Satisfaction"
Wow... where do I start.
I'm tryin' to remember words to a song nobody wrote
--Jamey Johnsons; That Lonesome Song
She came straight from Heaven, but I know the Devil did, too.
--Trent Tomlinsons; Angels Like Her
Walkin' to the south, out of Roanoake I caught a trucker outta Philly, had a nice long toke, he's headed west from the Cumberland Gap to Johnson City Tennessee...
--Old Crow Medicine Shows; Wagon Wheel
She's a devils angel on a midnight flight, lookin' for lost souls like the one you are tonight
--Buck and Dukes; Devils Angel
I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die...
--The Man in Black
Who's gonna fill their shoes, who's gonna stand that tall?
--George Jones'; Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes
I could go on and on and on.... but, that'll do for now.
