    Default Best Musical Line/Verse

    Well, what with all the other best line threads, I thought this would be appropriate. I can't think of many right now, but I think this might just take the cake:

    You run and you run to catch up with the sun
    But it's sinking
    Racining around, to come up behind you again
    The Sun is the same in a relative way
    But you're older
    Shorter of breath, one day closer to death

    -Time, Pink Floyd.

    Right now, I'd have to go with:

    This haunted face
    Holds no horror for me now:
    It's in your soul
    That the true distortion lies.


    But musicals have loads of zingers by their very nature. Some of the rhyming schemes in "Sweeney Todd" make me weak in the knees.
    Don't blame me. I voted for Kodos.

    This is my favorite verse in all of music:


    I made this half-pony, half-monkey monster to please you
    But I get the feeling that you don't like it
    What's with all the screaming?
    You like monkeys
    You like ponies
    Maybe you don't like monsters so much
    Maybe I used too many monkeys
    Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony
    Making a gift for you?
    If you like what I have to say, please check out my GMing Blog where I discuss writing and roleplaying in greater depth.

    I have always enjoyed the lyrics from Time, especially the "one day closer to death" part. I'm not sure I'd call it the best ever, however. This is a tough call, but I'd have to nomiate all of Like A Rolling Stone. Amazing lyrics the whole way through, only made better when you hear Dylan snarling them. Every time I hear that song I somehow appreciate it even more.
