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

Well...guess depends what you mean by the "best".
Nick Cave with his Murder Ballads takes a cake for some of most disturbing...
Peter Hammill from the times with VDGG was most philosophical; Just the title of one of thier recording: "H to He who, Am the Only One"
I shouted out, Who killed the Kennedys? When after all, it was you and me...

Sympathy for the Devil, The Rolling F&$)ing Stones
"...give it to me any way you can, any way you want to do it, I'll take it like a man..." Toni Basil, "Mickey". Think about it. The first woman to ever offer this on top-40 radio!
