Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You?

For some reason, certain arrangements of basic parts of speech attached to pitch and cadence got themselves permanently attached to my (remaining) brain cells.  

What are your favs?

Here's my Top 3.

#1:

"Her teeth were like the stars above because they come out every night." Homer and Jethro, Live at the Country Club (Side one)

#2:

"They'll never forgot you, until somebody new comes along."  (I think you know this one)

#3:

I had an internal UFC level battle going on in my head for this position, with no less than 11 contenders duking it out.  So, I just gave up, and passed the baton to you guys.

I can explain it to you

But

 I can't understand it to you

From a song I might write some day

"Of All Time" is a tall ladder, and crowded near the top, but there are some I find poignant, interesting, and funny, like,

"ya can't call it cheatin', 'cause she reminds me of you"

"Cheatin'", by the Gin Blossoms, from New Miserable Experience

Good one.  He may have a point there?

Probably more of a justification.  However, the "you" in that line probably doesn’t agree with the conclusion. But hey, when you’re a rock star - stuff happens. devil

“And I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
There’s only one bed and there’s only one prayer,
I listen all night for your step on the stair.”

Leonard Cohen Tonight Will Be Fine
