Its not one line I know... but the last few lines of the The Drifter - Ray Pollard is just out of this world, as is the whole of the song as a matter of fact!

The end is the part of the tune that i reckon reaches its highest emotional intensity, if you dont feel a little of the gut wrenching emotions from it then you certainly ain't human!

 

"oohh I'm just a drifter I go from town to town, I'm just a drifter but I wasnt always down,

cos once i had a girl by my side, a love so strong that money couldnt buy no, no, no

but heaven called and took her away, out of my arms and left me to wander..."

 

 

All the lyrics to the whole song just get to me everytime, always has done...sheer emotion...

Then my mouth wrote a cheque

We're just walking along the beach,

passing dreams we thought we'd never meet,

seeing strangers and calling out "Hello",

We'll sift sand then we'll hold hands

and I'll kiss your lips,

Along the beach

....I rehearsed and planned to send you away

But the words I rehearsed came out in reverse

Instead of sending you away I begged you to stay

Brilliant!!!!

Part one and part two, and three if we have time, now

I'd rather leave while I'm in Love while I still know the meaning of the word

not just one line 

 

" Can you imagine a place where all that matters is the music

   D.J. plays and the party people lose it

   Singing ,Spinning and dancing around

   I like the soulful sound of the underground

   No pressure 

   No fear

   Nobody's in your business

   Nobody really cares

   Everyone is special and your the same

   Welcome to the Sanctuary "

This old heart of mine always keeps me cryin'
The way you're treatin' me leaves me incomplete
You're here for the day, gone for the week
But if you leave me a hundred times
A hundred times I'll take you back
I'm yours whenever you want me
I'm not too proud to shout it, tell the world about it 'cause I
I love you-ou-ou

Just a bunch of fellas from the poor side of town
Under the streetlamp is the happiness we found
In a neighbourhood where most every things rundown
So all we've got to make it to the brighter side of town
