It must seem infinitely random but I'm looking for a song title or lyric relating to lines, specifically people standing in line, for the title of a reaearch paper about people choosing from a selection of lines. I did a search of my iTunes and came up with only three ("They Just Keep Moving The Line," "Line Upon Line" and "There's A Fine Fine Line"), none of which are really appropriate. I cannot think of any specific lyrics either.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

"The Line" from Grind has every reference, metaphorical and literal, to lines.

The opening song of William Finn's "Romance in Hard Times" is called Standing in Line.
It's sung by the denizens of a soup kitchen during the depression.

"Back of the Line" from Take Flight, though it is a little long.
(No pun intended...)
