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

"The killer lives inside me: yes, I can feel him move.
Sometimes he's lightly sleeping
in the quiet of his room,
but then his eyes will rise and stare through mine;
he'll speak my words and slice my mind inside.
Yes the killer lives.
Angels live inside me: I can feel them smile...
Their presence strokes
and soothes the tempest in my mind
and their love can heal the wounds
that I have wrought.
They watch me as I go to fall
- well, I know I shall be caught,
while the angels live.

How can I be free?
How can I get help?
Am I really me?
Am I someone else?"

Man Erg - Van Der Graaf Generator
Judith by A Perfect Circle.

"You're such an inspiration for the ways in which I'll never ever choose to be."
"Now there's a charge for what she used to give for free" from "My Home Town" by Tom Lehrer.

Another by Lehrer:

"When the world becomes uranius, we will all go simultaneous" from "We Will All Go Together When We Go"
She's got eyes like crystal waters, lips like sherry wine, a body like fine brandy and a soul like turpintine. Oh mama you treat your daddy so damn mean. When I ask for water she brings me gasoline. She brings me gasoline. David Bromberg
