one-liners

Feb 15, 2011 10:52

SERIOUSLY, I keep planning to start posting more regularly and, like, write about real life and stuff.

Then real life keeps happening.

So, today: one-liners.

I really love those single lines in a song that just jump out and grab you by the throat, every time. All on their own.

Two of mine:

Oh, I remember when first we kissed
it was nothing at all
like a wrecking ball

- Gillian Welch, Wrecking Ball

(and everybody knows I love this one)
she stands there in her doorway smoothing out her dress
and says 'this life is a thump-ripe melon,
so sweet and such a mess'

- Greg Brown, Rexroth's Daughter

What about yours?
