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
"And they drink to a friend they call lonlieness, and its better then drinking alone" (Billy Joel - Piano Man)
Hike up your skirt a little more and show your world to me. Dave Matthews Band

Running in to you like this without warning, is like, catching a sniff of tequilla in the morning. Crash Test Dummies

I'm only hanging on, to watch you go down, my love. U2
How about:
wang dang sweet poontang
The Nuge

but seriously my favorite

So you think you can tell
heaven from hell
blue skies and pain
can you tell a green field
from a cold steel rail
a smile from a vail
do you think you can tell

Pink Floyd, Wish you were here
The Houston sky was changeless
We galloped through bluebonnets
I was wrestling with an angel
You were working on a sonnet
You said, 'I believe the seraphim
Will gather up my pinto
And carry us away, Jim
Across the San Jacinto
My ride's here...'

Warren Zevon
