U2's "One" named favorite British song lyric

U2 nabbed the top spot in a poll about song lyrics, but it wasn't even for the best line of the song, IMO.

LONDON - The Irish band U2 has given Britain its favorite song lyric, according to a survey released Monday.

The line "One life, with each other, sisters, brothers" from the 1992 song "One" topped a poll conducted by music channel VH1.

Runner-up was the downbeat "So you go and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, and you go home, and you cry, and you want to die" from The Smiths' "How Soon is Now."

Everyone knows that the best line in "One" is: "Have you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head."

That Smith's lyric is a particularly good one, although perhaps one of the saddest. Both of these songs are available in my karaoke catalog.
