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
Tell me pretty baby where did you stay last night Tell me pretty baby where did you stay last night When you come home this morning honey, your clothes didn't fit your right
"Isis"- Bob Dylan. This song has a lot of great lines but as a cyclist this one comes to me often. " I came in from the east with the sun in my eyes. I cursed it one time and I rode on ahead."
