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

Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin' anyway
So don't think twice, it's all right

Bob Dylan
"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
