What's your favorite lyric from a song?

I recently found this one, on the subject of (ruefully) growing older. Transcribed as best as I can decipher:

I'd say that time is on a rude crusade
taking all that I'm annually owed
my ration of days
grows painfully shy
the rain
cannot turn the other way
one day
turns a skip into a sway

Oh, and by the way, Happy Birthday

from "Happy Birthday, Baby" by Elbow Bones and The Racketeers (AKA Kid Creole)

This lyric from Rainy Day Man, sung by Bonnie Raitt on her Streetlights album, is a great turn of a phrase and the way she sings it makes it delightful.

"Now simple pleasures they all evade you
Store-bought treasures none can save you"

As I pursue this hobby on the equipment purchasing side sometimes it is easy to forget that the simple pleasure of listening to music is the goal, not just buying better stuff.

"If I ventured in the slipstream
Between the viaducts of your dream
Where immobile steel rims crack
And the ditch in the back roads stop
Could you find me?
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
To lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again"

Beginning of Astral Weeks. Van Morrison

They put a sign up in our town,
If you live it up, you won't live it down,
So she left monte Rio son,
Just like a bullet leaves a gun.

Tom Waits, hold on.
