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
Yes...Crash. It's a great cd. Dave Matthews has so many great lines, but that one always sticks in my head.
"Her skirt it swayed as the guitar played / her mouth was watery and wet" - Bob Dylan I DON'T BELIEVE YOU (SHE ACTS LIKE WE NEVER HAVE MET)
"I Shot my mouth off and he showed me waht that hole was for"

The Prenders "Tattooed Love Boys":

I ran twenty doors
Around the house, black and blue
Between love boys
Tore my knees up getting tattooed
Cause I needed, to find out what the thing was for
Been reading, a man time came to explore.

I went apewire
Cause I thought, like I like it
Little tease, but I didn't mean it
But you mess with the goods doll, you gotta pay.

A good time was guaranteed for one and all
With tattoos, target practice in the hall
While waiting for their number to get called
While I, I, I found what the wait was about.

I was a good time
Yeah, I got pretty good
Changing tires, upstairs bro.
I shot my mouth off and he showed me what that hole was for.

Now I see you, all impressed and half-undressed,
You got paint stick, all over the scars, lumps and bumps
Tattooed love boys got you where I used to lay
But ha ha, too bad
You know what they say.

Stop sniffling
You're gonna make some plastic surgeon a rich man
Oh, but the prestige and the glory
Another human interest story
You are that.
"Seen a shootin star tonight, and I thought of you." (by the greatest songwriter ever)
Each man has his price Bob And yours was pretty low

AND

You've got to be trusted by people that you lie to
so when they turn their backs on you,
you'll get the chance to put the knife in.

Roger Waters
