Best ending line of a song

[KCharlesD]

God is in His heaven and we all want what's His
But power and greed and corruptible seed seem to be all that there is
I'm gazing out the window of the St. James Hotel
And I know no one can sing the blues like Blind Willie McTell

Bob Dylan, Blind Willie McTell

[Jukie]

I love you still--You win again.

[Long Jon]

Wop bop a loo bop a lop bam boom!


Little Richard - Tutti Frutti

[SongwriterFan]

"For all the right reasons I've never been so wrong"

[Bronsky]

I suppose that he froze when the wind took your clothes and I guess he just never got warm
But you stand there so nice, in your blizzard of ice, oh please let me come into the storm

"One of us cannot be wrong" being the closing track, this is the last stanza of the album, which I think is pretty cool.

[jomaynor]

"...out of kindness, I suppose."

Simply because that's the last line of a brilliant song.

[ghale]

Not the last line of the song, but the last line of the last verse, does that count? Lol
Meet me on my vast veranda
My sweet untouched Miranda
And while the seagulls are crying
We fall but our souls are flying

-The Decemberists "We Both Go Down Together"

[Steve DeRosa]

"...to an old forgotten soldier the dawn will come no more,
For the old man has come home from the forest..."
- Gordon Lightfoot

[Fire&Rain]

Some more from Gordon Lightfoot:

"Like a toy ship on a mill pond she burned all through the night
Then slipped 'neath the waves in the mornin'..."

-- Ballad of Yarmouth Castle

"For there was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run
when the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun
Long before the white man and long before the wheel
when the green dark forest was too silent to be real
when the green dark forest was too silent to be real
And many are the dead men too silent... to be real"

-- Canadian Railroad Trilogy

[M19]

From Jackson Browne's "Your Bright Baby Blues:

Baby if you need me
Like I know I need you
There's just one thing
I'll ask you to do
Take my hand and lead me
To the hole in your garden wall
And pull me through

[M19]

All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

[Mycroft]

Aaoooooo!
Werewolves of London!

My long ago deceased friend, Jim Ringer, on his "Endangered Species" album...

From the song "Still Got That Look" the great last line -

"He used to take acid and now he loves god, but he's still got that look in his eye."

The whole album is rather dark. Great lyrics and visualization though. That last line is quite a curveball.
