Great one liners...

[paul darwin]

Please don't confront me with my failures, I had not forgotten them.

[Markus S]

One of my fave one liners is the title of a T-Bone Burnett album: My life and the women who lived it

 

[ex brickie]

You like to think you're king but you're really a pawn

The Jam - When You're Young

 

[Still]

Insured beyond the grave, protection on your soul …

The Louvin Brothers

 

[gordon]

got drunk and barfed on my shadow - fidlar

 

[RickyC6]

I said I'm so happy I could die/she said drop dead then left with another guy.

 

[vince rocker]

We got this far without any Bob?

She knows there's no success like failure
And that failure's no success at all

 

[wwelly]

"Three words: Cage, Wheel, Hamster
'ere, here's a bit of cheese - nibble the bastard!"

Sleaford Mods - Under the plastic and NCT

 

[RBrinsdon]

You beat me to it vince rocker,

But I was going with:-

"The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face"

 

[stephen bennett]

A long one, but lovely from Paddy McAloon from Cruel.

If I'm troubled by, every folding of your skirt,
Am I guilty of every male-inflicted hurt?
But I don't know how, to describe the modern rose
When I can't refer, to the shape against her clothes
With the fever of purple prose.

"I'm Miss World,
Somebody kill me."

Hole

 

[glancaster]

"Teenage angst has paid off well,
Now I'm bored and old."

"I tried hard to have a father,
But instead I had a dad."

Both from the same song, remarkably ('Serve the Servants' by Nirvana). And there's more where these came from.

Hindsight is perfect of course, but it does seem clear that Kurt was not a happy bunny.

born to grow and grown to die .. Townes

 

[JamesJamerson]

"Everytime we say goodbye, I die a little"

Cole Porter.

 

[Big Tabs]

Hi,

"I don't know karate, but I know KA-RAZY!!!! (yes we do!!)"

James Brown - The Payback.

Dean

I thought the line was

" I don't know Karate, but I know Ka-Razor.."

which to me is a better line - have a listen again....

 

[kasperhauser]

"But there isn’t words yet for the comfort I get from the gentle lunette at the top of the nape of the neck that I wake to"

 

[Joe Hutch]

'Janette Fletcher is strange, but not in a horrible way'

The Fall, High Tension Line

 

[gassor]

"Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and ...

Now, now you say you love me"


Arthur Hamilton

 

[Joe Hutch]

Sometimes instead of Arthur Lee
I'd much prefer some Arthur Lowe

HMHB 'Mate of the Bloke'

 

[gassor]

"I'm Miss World,
Somebody kill me."
