I just couldn't pick one. :|
Just wait till tomorrow I guess that's what they all say just before they fall apart
Regret
I wish Barney still wrote lyrics like
To buy a drink there, its so much more reasonable I think i'll go there when it gets seasonable
Sooner than you think
most powerful probably: 'avenues all lined with trees picture me and then you start watching ...'
WATCHING FOREVER !!!! 
Some people look down on me, I hope they like what they see.
The entire Fine Time "cool chick" speech
Life is strange and life keeps getting stranger every day
Love is the cure for every evil love is the air that support the eagle
Good times around the corner, I swear it's getting warmer
there will be more, lines are what it's all about with NO...cos very often an entire song doesn't make total sense, but 1 single couplet...can blast a hole in your life.

And your own choices Mr H.?
These should be on our member profile pages! ;)
"How many times before could you tell I couldn't care?"
Great complement to the melancholy music; it's one of those great lines that could only be delivered at the end of a crumbling relationship and both parties know it.
"You caught me at a bad time, so why don't you piss off"
from their supposed 'ballad' "Your Silent Face"
There is no room to move Or try to look away But remember, life is strange And life keeps getting stranger every day...

I like "When you turned your back on me, I knew we'd get nowhere"
I love the Ceremony lyrics which is weird because the first verse doesnt seem to make any sense whatsoever

But that would make two lines, you greedy bastard.

Hold on, whats your definition of a line? Because technically a whole song could fit into one line if you wrote really small on a big peice of paper and used /s to seperate verses. I reckon a line means a phrase or one idea, because "Life is strange" could by your definition be one line, but without "and life keeps getting stranger everyday" that first lyric isnt very interesting.
See?
That one from State of the Nation about "I don't kiss when you're around".....always gets voted one of their worst ever, but it's probably my favourite. In fact, I really, really like the SoTN's lyrics.
Dunno why, 'cos they're shit.
In a world where I'd forgotten you, I've found myself forgotten too
oops it's me being greedy too but there's so many beautiful lines I wish I'd written them myself and I don't agree Barney's lyrics are shite, the man is a genius
