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.

From Kevin Gilbert's Tea For One, 

 

Caught in the pouring rain he crouches beneath her awning
And there through the screen spies his lady of esteem
Not alone
And there's rapture on her face
Within a man's embrace

I hate graveyards and old pawn shops
For they always bring me tears
I can't forgive the way they robbed me
Of my childhood souvenirs

“This really blew my mind
The fact that me, an overfed long-haired, leaping gnome
Should be the star of a Hollywood movie”
