What is the one line in any song

Come Out Ye Black & Tans​

I was born on a Dublin street
Where the Royal drums do beat
And those loving English feet
They walked all over us
And every single night
When me da would come home tight
He'd invite the neighbors out with this chorus
Come out you black and tans
Come out and fight me like a man
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell her how the IRA
Made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra

You know, sometimes in a thread you get something that sparks curiosity to find out more, as your reply has done. Lots of history, inclusive of the meaning of Black and Tans, thanks!!
 
For depth and profundity it's hard to go past Fred Durst

"And where you gonna run when your starin' down the cable of a
mic pointed at your grill like a gun?"

"People in the house put them hands in the air
Cuz if you don't care, then we don't care
One two three times two to the six
Jolts in for your fix with the Limp Bizkit mix"
 
There are places I’ll remember all my life, though some have changed – some forever – not for better. Some are gone and some remain. All these places have their moments, with lovers and friends I still can recall. Some are dead and some are living. In my life, I’ve loved them all.”
Champion @twentyforty - it's playing in my head and I can't stop it.
Such a great song.
