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
"...give it to me any way you can, any way you want to do it, I'll take it like a man..." Toni Basil, "Mickey". Think about it. The first woman to ever offer this on top-40 radio!
Peter Gabriel -Biko

You can blow out a candle
But you can't blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher
Billy Joel-Only the Good Die Young

"I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints"
Father, I want to kill you.
Mother, I want to... AAAAYYYEEEEEAAAAAAIIIII

This is the end/ my only friend, the end.

Doors: The End

She left a lipstick letter on the mirror, shattered on the bathroom floor.
All I could put back together was '...never see me no more".

Delbert McClinton: When Rita Leaves
Welcome to truth custom made, come in and have some lemonade
Reality will re-adjust while we evade (77's - Ba Ba Ba Ba)
