Best KOL One-Liners

[the rice tree]

I thought there was a thread like this somewhere, but I searched back a couple pages and still couldn't find it, so here goes...

Favorite quips and lines from song lyrics! I like these because sometimes it seems like the shorter they are, the more profound.

List away...

Fingers in the dirt, spittin out his teeth

I bought you some flowers

I'm too young to feel this old

[rockchick26]

Probably my all time favorite funny one-liner lyric:

"You talk about my baby,i could flip her upside down and I could mop this place!"

Hmmm wonder if Caleb has ever done that with Lily?!

[errylou]

hand over your heart lets go home...

begging for a bite... (mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm)

all wrapped up in being nineteen... (perhaps i just like it because i am 19 *shrugs*)

hahahah yeah i did! and then today i was listening to the words thinking what they had to do with the song, coz they didnt make sence to me, and then it clicked in my head and i was like OHHH!
and then i just started laughing my head off.

[errylou]

nyaw... i have to admit i did laugh when i first heard it... i felt myself blush a little too... and looked around to see who might have been in vicinity of my car and heard it... ...

the four year old i look after sings 'in bed while i'm driving'... thank god...

[caity]

ahahahahha thats so cute!
yeah, i'm wondering what all the little children say when they sing along...hahahah

Wasted Time - i know all about the games you play, shakin your apple right in my face, only when you know that i'm beggin for a bite

I love Happy Alone so much -

On our way, so it seems, blooming flowers waltz before me
Rollin' numbers, passing time, got to get outside the city,
In the morning all will see, just how crazy young love can be
On our own away again, don't get down my darlin'


i love to watch you when you're dancing
when they shine them streets, they're gonna find our song

*it won't take long, livin in the city waiting for the summer to come < i like when Caleb adds that into live versions after that verse

Least there's a record that I love to play, dreaming bout a place I'll never see
(I even have the last part of that line engraved on my iPod, the whole line wouldn't fit)

All of milk but especially - called and I called but I can't get through, said he's on his own but his own is you

Genius - Fuck you and your flashbulbs, snappin' my picture again

Razz - Lord have mercy, shake is falling through your hands

Four Kicks - she's a lovin on the boy from city, I be lovin him under my shoe

Rememo - On a plane, on a plane, off to see the city girls again, only bringin what to carry on just so that you I won't be long
Honestly, I can see, the gigglin virgin over lookin me, tryin to put together what to say, although it wouldn't matter any way

Wasted Time - I'ma get your mama, I'ma get your pa, I'ma tell everybody just a what I saw

The Runner - Burning up railroad, railroad from hell to maine

Camaro - when I bite on that smile

Arizona - she shakes like a morning railway

My Party - you're talkin bout my baby, I could flip you upside down and I could mop this place

Trani - pack of smokes and a little bump of cocaine, helps you feel not so strange

I Want You - the black cat with the gift down below, a choke and gag, she spit up and came back for more (the way he sings it )

Cold Desert - hand over your heart lets go home
I never ever cried when I was feeling down, I've always been scared of the sound (one of his most amazing lines ever imo)

Manhattan - we're gonna show this town how to kiss these stars
...To name but a few

Taper Jean Girl "aha shakeee taper jean girrrrrl with a motel fayuuucee"

Rememo "the giggling virgin over looking me"
