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
sfar
Well, John the Baptist after torturing a thief
Looks up at his hero the Commander-in-Chief
Saying, "Tell me great hero, but please make it brief
Is there a hole for me to get sick in ?"

The Commander-in-Chief answers him while chasing a fly
Saying, "Death to all those who would whimper and cry"
And dropping a bar bell he points to the sky
Saying, "The sun's not yellow it's chicken."

- Bob Dylan, "Tombstone Blues"
death and decay cadaverous smell
for us there is neither heaven nor is there a hell
and only the stigmata could be able to betray the sombre existence of the former days
after the dead lovers kiss, you fall into a dream,
and with your second birth, your a prince in our mournful realm
a day when a million suns are killing with their shine
the cold dark crypts are saving me and myne. me and myne. me and myne

Artist-Sopor Aeternus:
Track- Dead Souls
CD - "Es Reiten Die Toten So Schnell"
(or: The Vampyre sucking at his own Vein)
This from Bjork, one of Natalie Portman's favorite and mine too:

Possibly maybe probably love

How can you offer me love like that?
my heart's burned
how can you offer me love like that?
I'm exhausted - leave me alone!

Possibly maybe probably love

Since we broke up
I'm using lipstick again
I'll suck my tongue
in remembrance of you

I love this girl, she is so crazy and creative it makes me believe she's beautiful.
