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

So welcome to the free for all, the smash and grab, the freeloaders ball
Where everything is here for us if we scream, shout, make a fuss
There's nothing that we can't afford with a poisoned tongue and a sharpened sword
Spoilt children in a row - no one dares to tell them no

New Model Army- Great Expections. The whole song has great lyrics.

death and decay cadaverous smell
for us there is neither heaven nor is there a hell
and only the stigmata could be able to betray the sombre existence of the former days
after the dead lovers kiss, you fall into a dream,
and with your second birth, your a prince in our mournful realm
a day when a million suns are killing with their shine
the cold dark crypts are saving me and myne. me and myne. me and myne

Artist-Sopor Aeternus:
Track- Dead Souls
CD - "Es Reiten Die Toten So Schnell"
