Best lines in a song


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
128x128sfar
So welcome to the free for all, the smash and grab, the freeloaders ball
Where everything is here for us if we scream, shout, make a fuss
There's nothing that we can't afford with a poisoned tongue and a sharpened sword
Spoilt children in a row - no one dares to tell them no

New Model Army- Great Expections. The whole song has great lyrics.
"A soap impression of his wife which he ate and donated to the National Trust" (Lennon)

"And if you love him
Oh be proud of him
Cause after all he's just a man"
One of the most unappreciated indictments of an entire gender in popular music
"you dont get something for nothing you cant have freedom for free, you wont get wise with the sleep still in your eyes no matter what your dream might be" 2112 RUSH
"...and the poets 'round here don't write noth'in at all, they just stand back and let it all be."
Jungleland, Springsteen
