The Byrds "Lady Friend" - 'here it comes again just like the last wave i drowned in, here it comes and i'm so far from shore (sure)'.
i was once in a radio studio with Ken and jon from the Posies when they did a cover of that and i pointed out that line and both said they'd never realised the double meaning and they'd been singing it for years.
best opening line; R.E.M. "southern central rain (i'm sorry)" - 'did you never call, i waited for your call'
such a sense of yearning in that.

[QUOTE 2928403, member: 1314"]Billy Bragg nicked that when providing additional lines for Kirsty Macoll's version of A new England:
When at last it didn’t ring I knew it wasn’t you[/quote]
he also nicked the first line of A New England from Paul Simon's 'the leaves that are green'

Carter USM - saw them at Reading in the early 90's... They were absolutely brilliant. They managed to get thousands of shoe gazing goth miserabilsts (myself included) who were there to see the Sisters Of Mercy bouncing around like "happy people"... Bastards

The killing and dying, was all done in vain.
For Willie McBride, it all happened again,
And again, and again, and again, and again.
No Man's Land - Eric Bogle. Not exactly *One* line, but it speaks volumes.
