There are many, but this is always the first one that comes to mind.

"And we'll fill in the missing colors in each other's paint by number dreams" - The Pretender, Jackson Browne

Every time I hear this line, I think "Man, that's good!"

It doesn't really matter if I'm wrong, I'm right
Where I belong I'm right
Where I belong...

"God only knows God makes his plan
The information's unavailable to the mortal man
We're working our jobs collect our pay
Believe we're gliding down the highway
When in fact we're slip slidin' away"

This was my first thought too! Some others:

Neil Diamond

Love that's only slightly soiled,
Love for sale"

Default Favorite line from a song

Crawled with the zeros
And stood with my heroes
But I still have a long way to go

Just a couple:

"Red hair and black leather, my favorite color schemes"
Richard Thompson, Vincent Black Lightning

""Good evening to you, Mister", the bounty hunter said,
"You don't know me but I know there's a price upon your head.""
Mick Cross, The Bounty Hunter


Many of my other favorite lines have already been covered by others.

We stood at the alter
the gypsy swore our future was right
But come the wee wee hours
Well maybe baby the gypsy lied

All the Federales say
They could have had him any day
They only let him go so long
Out of kindness I suppose ...

1. "Out there in the spotlight your a millon miles away,
Every ounce of energy you try to give away,
As the sweat pours from your body like the music that you play."...Bob Seger from "Turn The Page".

2. "Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom? "Cause all I ever have: Redemption songs."...Bob Marley from Redemption Song

3. "heart of my own heart whatever befall, still be my Vision O Ruler of all."...Eleanor Hull from the hymn "Be Thou My Vision".

Edit note: I do a cover of TTP on my YTC: http://youtu.be/xhEhiDn0kCE and I quote #3 in the "about" section of my YTC as well.

"Holding on in quiet desperation is the English way..."

Roger Waters...


"If you can fall for chains of silver
You can fall for chains of gold
And you can fall for pretty strangers
And the promises they hold

You promised me everything
Yeah...you promised me through thick and thin
And now you say oh that Romeo
Ya know I used to have a scene with him..."

Mark Knopfler...


"Your the one...your the one
That made me cry
Yes your the one...that laughed at me
And said goodbye

Now your the one...your the one
Thats feeling blue
So hows it feel...now that your the one
It's happening to..."

Dwight Yoakim

Kind Regards
duff
