What is the best lyric ever?

Answer 1

A wop bop a loo wap a lop bam boom -- in my opinion.

Answer 2

I'm mainly a classic rock kinda guy, but when I heard these lyrics, I was amazed. EVERY single time I listen to this song it gives me chills. Possibly the best I've ever heard:

Think about the love inside the strength of heart
Think about the heroes saving life in the dark
Climbing higher through the fire, time was running out
Never knowing you weren't going to be coming down alive
But you still came back for me
You were strong and you believed

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong. Believe.
Be strong. Believe.

Think about the chance I never had to say
Thank you for giving up your life that day
Never fearing, only hearing voices calling out
Let it all go, the life that you know, just to bring it down alive
And you still came back for me
You were strong and you believed

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong. Believe.

(Again today, we take into our hearts and minds those who perished on this site one year ago, and also those who came to toil in the rubble to bring order out of chaos, to help us make sense of our despair)

Wanna hold my wife when I get home
Wanna tell the kids they'll never know how much I love to see them smile
Wanna make a change or two right now
Wanna live a life like you somehow
Wanna make your sacrifice worthwhile

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong. Believe.

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong. Believe.

Think about the love inside the strength of heart
Think about the heroes saving life in the dark
Think about the chance I never had to say
Thank you for giving up your life that day

(The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here)

*Obviously it's an amazing song about 9/11. It's called "Believe" by Yellowcard.

Answer 3

I want to be as free as the spirits of those who left
I'm talking Malcom, Coltrane, my man Yusef
Through death through conception
New breath and resurrection
For moms, new steps in her direction
In the right way
Told inside is where the fight lay
And everything a ni**er do may not be what he might say
Chicago nights stay, stay on the mind
But I write many lives and lay on these lines
Wave the signs of the times
Many say the grind's on the mind
Shorties blunted-eyed and everyone wonderin' where I'm
Bush pushing lies, killers immortalized
We got arms but won't reach for the skies
Waiting for the Lord to rise
I look into my daughter's eyes
And realize that I'ma learn through her
The Messiah, might even return through her
If I'ma do it, I gotta change the world through her
Furs and a Benz, gramps wantin 'em
Demons and old friends, pops they hauntin' him
The chosen one from the land of the frozen sun
When drunk nights get remembered more than sober ones
Walk like warriors, we were never told to run
Explored the world to return to where my soul begun
Never looking back or too far in front of me
The present is a gift
and I just wanna BE

Answer 4

I love this lyric from Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man":

"Then take me disappearing
Through the smoke rings of my mind,
Down the foggy ruins of time,
Far past the frozen leaves,
The haunted, frightened trees
Out to the windy beach,
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow."

Answer 5

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

By the Beetles, great song.

Answer 6

Best line in rock and roll ever to me is from Faster Pussycat from the song House of Pain.. It says. "I didn't write these pages, but my scripts been rearranged" Most profound lyrics ever.

Answer 7

Being a true romantic it has to be from the film "Moulin Rouge"

:- "The Greatest Thing You`ll Ever Learn, Is Just To Love, And Be Loved In Return."

Answer 8

Recently I was impressed by an Oasis lyric- "Eyes which have seen such beauty can never go blind". I'm not saying it's the best ever, but it blew me away when I heard it, and you can't often say that.

Answer 9

these are truly great:

We're not the first, I hope we're not the last
'Cause I know we're all heading for that adult crash
The time is so little, the time belongs to us
Why is everybody in such a ******* rush?

Make do with what you have
Take what you can get
Pay no mind to us
We're just a minor threat

WE'RE JUST A MINOR THREAT

Early to finish, I was late to start
I might be an adult, but I'm a minor at heart
Go to college, be a man, what's the ******* deal?
It's not how old I am, it's how old I feel

Take your time
Try not to forget
We never will
We're just a minor threat

WE'RE JUST A MINOR THREAT

Answer 10

There is a blooper recording of Elvis singing Are You Lonesome Tonight where the proper line is "Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there" -- But in a live performance, he said "do you gaze at your body and wish you had hair" --- Then he cracks up for the rest of the song, the band keeps playing, and the Jordanairs keep oooohing, but Elvis just laughs like crazy, getting in a few lines here and there. It's great!!

Answer 11

My daughter! Her name is Lyric. Also; "F__k smiling glad hands with hidden agendas" is one of my favorites by Tool. Reminded me of the last President's address!
