This thread is a search for the best lines/quotes from songs ever written. List them in replies. To start the thread off, I nominate the obligatory Johnny Cash line "I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die" (from Folsom Prison Blues).

Long you live and high you fly,
But only if you ride the tide.
Balanced on the biggest wave,
You race toward an early grave.

It's from "Breathe", the second track on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. |

"I can't stand little girls - BIGGER ONES ARE BETTER!" - Father Christmas Do Not Touch Me by The Goodies. You wouldn't get away with releasing a song like that these days...

"Take a day
Plant some trees
May they shade you from me
May your children play beneath"
Blank Page - The Smashing Pumpkins
"I can't go on digging roses from your grave
To linger on beyond the beyond
Where the willows weep
And the whirlpools sleep
You'll find me
And the night mare ride on with a December black psalm."
Behold! The Night Mare - The Smashing Pumpkins
