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

"Never Blame the Rainbow for the Rain"

From "Never Blame the Rainbow for the Rain" by the Moody Blues
Oh, and of course let's not forget:

"All You Need is Love"

by Mr. Lennon

Is there any other philosophical lyric in a song more concise and to the point than this? I'd like to know if so.

I think when John Lennon wrote this song and title, his destiny as a musical and cultural icon was sealed......
"Now I ain't what
You call a city slicker
My claim to fame's
To be a slitty licker"

"Pandora's Box"--Aerosmith
"But ev'ry time Pandora comes my way
I get high, can't explain the sensation
To get it on I've got to watch what I say
Or I'll catch hell from womens' liberation"

"Pandora's Box" (continued)--Aerosmith
"Well I called the TV doctor
He came over right away
He said to see what he could do he'd have to haul my tube away
I said 'No that will never do
If you don't get the picture
I'm gonna do some work on you!'"

TV Mama--Johnny Winter
