umm yeah im gonna change my answer i had before to....

"Kyjuan, where you getting dem colors, are you dyin them?"

"If anybody ever had a heart, he wouldn't be alone.
He knows she's been here too few years to be gone."
--Matchbox Twenty "Hang" from Yourself or Someone Like You (1996)

"In my eyes you do no wrong,
I've loved you for so long
And after all is said and done,
You're still you."
--Josh Groban "You're Still You" from Josh Groban (2001)

"Honest is easy
Fiction is where genius lies
Cause it’s easier sometimes
Not to be involved
Somehow I make you believe
Believe
When I speak I cross my fingers
Will you know you’ve been deceived?"
--Guster "Demons" from Goldfly (1997)\

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

much love

"I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die."

Johnny Cash, Folsom Prison Blues

By itself, the line seems like an odd choice, but set in the context of the song, it carries great meaning. The narrator of the song is longing to be free of the prison he is in, riding away on the train he hears outside. But, because of what he's done, he knows he can never be free. Violence is pointless, and there will be consequences.

-Leonidas

"Confronted with the choice, the American people would choose the policeman's truncheon over the anarchist's bomb."
-Spiro T. Agnew

"Those who would sacrifice liberty for safety deserve neither."
-Benjamin Franklin

(They're both right.)

I have many favorites, but here's a good one:

"Gonna kick off my shoes and run in bare feet,
where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet.
Going back to the well, gonna visit old friends,
gonna feed my soul.......where the blacktop ends."
- Keith Urban

"Cry Havoc! And let slip the dogs of war." - Shakespeare's Julius Caesar

"i know there's little use in crying
it's more wide awake and dying then i'm used to"
howie day - ghost

"And all the "Best Deceptions" and "Clever Cover Story" awards go to you."
dashboard confessional - the best deceptions

here is a list of my favourite lines of some songs

"Even when I pack my bags
This something always hold me back"
- Foolish by Ashanti

"You are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie"
- Angel by Sarah McLauclan

"If there's one spark of hope left in my grasp
I'll hold it with both hands."
-I Still Believe by Mariah Carey

"If a great wave should fall
It would fall upon us all
And between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own"
- Wherever You Will Go by The Calling

"A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you"'
- I Knew I Loved You by Savage Garden

"You gave me faith to find my dreams
You'll never know just what that means"
- You've Got A Way by Shania Twain

A phrase in a song catches me every once in a while. Recently, I heard of this line in a song.

But even soldiers need a quiet place to rest.

I feel so introspective tonight
thinking ahead about my final hindsight

If this feeling was a chemical, I don't think it would be allowed.

And I wonder,
If everything could ever feel this real forever,
If anything could ever be this good again.

That is a great line/song! When I was younger, my dad used to put on Johnny Cash's songs allll the time, and to this day I still absolutely love them (my favorite being "Orange Blossom Special.") But to stick to the topic...

One of my favorite lines is from "Closing Time" by Semisonic-

"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end."

I have a few more, but I am pressed for time right now. I'll add later...

-Bob Dylan, 'Shelter from the Storm'

"Time is an ocean, but it ends at the shore...you may not see me tomorrow."
-Bob Dylan, 'Oh Sister'

"Mama put my guns int he ground, i can't shoot them anymore. That long black cloud is coming down, feels like i'm knocking on heaven's door..."

What does it take to be a superhero in my world?
Make no mistake that these villains always get the girl
We can escape, then we'll skate away from all of this
But no one ever does
-Something Corporate, Straw Dog

we're all soldiers in the war / tell me what are we fighting for?-alana davis, "save the day"

"We belong in a better world, free from all the suffering."- relative sight..better world

"Want to vanish inside your kiss, everyday I love you more and more." Come what may from Moulin Rouge

Please inset your punch line here (.................) any one will do

There's a light in my eyes it's too bright to see
And a pain in my heart where you used to be
Guess I was wrong to assume that you were waiting here for me
There's a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me
