Best ending line of a song

[arlenm]

Call it "Peace" or call it "Treason"
Call it "Love" or call it "Reason"
But I ain't marchin' anymore,
No I ain't marchin' anymore.

I Ain't Marching Anymore
Phil Ochs

"Forgive me God we hang him in thy name"!

The Strawbs, "The Hangman and the Papist"

[Troisnoir]

Actually, the Buffet line is:

The sea's in my veins, my tradition remains, I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer...

And it's from Son Of A Son Of A Sailor, not Manana, but funny you should mention it:

One of my favorite last lines actually is from Manana:

"And I hope Anita Bryant never ever does one of my songs..."

[DocCasualty]

"Anyway the wind blows . . ." Bohemian Rhapsody Queen

And the tam-tam at the end is kickass!

[Paully]

And me, I'm flyin' in my taxi
takin' tips and gettin' stoned.

"We are fools to make war on our brothers in arms." Dire Straits

"Oh I like you too and to tell you the truth, that wasn't my chair after all."
George Strait

'Cause if my baby don't love me no more,
I know her sister will!

Excellent ending line to an excellent song from a superb album. Harry Chapin was a huge part of my musical upbringing. He was such a gifted storyteller.

And in my best behavior
I am really just like him
Look beneath the floorboards
For the secrets I have hid

A lot of these posts are not ending lines of songs at all..........just favorite lines. Duh!

But how about:

"So, I lit a fire, isn't it good, Norwegian wood."

Iron & Wine - "Trapeze Swinger"

So please remember me, finally
And all my uphill clawing
My dear, but if I make the Pearly Gates
Ill do my best to make a drawing
Of God and Lucifer, a boy and girl
An angel kissin on a sinner
A monkey and a man, a marching band
All around the frightened trapeze swinger

[Jerry D]

Or verses, not lines. Geez!

[James_214ce]

"Its a strange situation, and a wild occupation, livin' my life like a song."
