There has been a long-running thread here of 'Best quotes' but maybe it would be interesting to find out folks' favorite lines from songs. To keep it on some sort of track, let's have a few ground rules.
- Attribution is required, who sang it (or wrote it) and where can we hear it? - Shorter is better, four lines maximum, a verse. These should be words of wisdom that can be summoned for inspiration in social emergencies. - If you're an opera fan, you're welcome to post in Italian, just don't expect many high fives from the monolingual among us.
I'll throw out a couple for starters:
When you're rockin' and a rollin' you can't hear your momma call. Little Richard - Good Golly, Miss Molly
All I want in this life of mine is some good clean fun. All I want in this life and time is some hit and run. Little Feat - Fat Man in the Bathtub

"Disappointed Promises Promises Old tired Worn out second hand sentences One thing With you is certain Youre a really sad person So sad
Disappointed a few people When friendship reared its ugly head Disappointed a few people Well, isn't that what friends are for"

"Is there a flame in the dark? is there a bright heart star? These creatures look the same now We freeze wherever we are We wake alone in the blackness We sleep whenever we fall One dream all around us This big hush infects us all"
