What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...

"What goes on in Detox Mansion
Outside the rubber room
We get therapy and lectures
We play golf in the afternoon"

- Detox Mansion by Warren Zevon -  
Post removed 
"Mama looked down and spit on the ground every time my name gets mentioned
Papa said "Oy! if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention"

- Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard by Paul Simon -
"They called me up in Tennessee
They said "Tammy, stand by the JAMs"
But if you don’t like what they’re going to do,
You better not stop them ’cause they’re coming through
(bring the beat back)
(Hey hey)
All bound for Mu Mu Land (justified!)
(Hey hey)
All bound for Mu Mu Land (justified!)
Mu Mu Land
Mu Mu Land
All bound for Mu Mu Land
They’re Justified, and they’re Ancient,
And they drive an ice cream van.
(just roll it from the top)
They’re Justified and they’re Ancient,
With still no master plan."


The trip of a lifetime for Tammy Wynette who later said,

"I really don’t know why they (KLF) chose me. I was apprehensive at first, but I’m really excited with the way it’s all turned out", Wynette said. "Mu Mu Land looks a lot more interesting than Tennessee.... But I wouldn’t want to live there."
Some great lines stay in the memory from the Sex Pistols ’The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle’, but the best might be the intro,

"People said we couldn’t play
They called us foul-mouthed yobs
But the only notes that really count
Are the ones that come in wads"

Another example of a great song coming at a bad time for the band.
The outro still kicks hard 40 years later,

"Elvis Presley died in 1959
Chuck Berry you’re a big ugly fucker (?)
Ian Dury Cockney Fraud
Mick Jagger white nigga
Bob Dylan got a parking ticket stuck to his arsehole
David Bowie you are a bloody cunt

Rod Stewart‘s got a luggage label tied to his tonsils
Elton John hair transplant
Sid Vicious Rock and Roll Cliché
Paul Cook bare bones
Johnny Rotten he’s got his knickers knotted (?)
Rock and roll swindle
Swindle
It’s a swindle!"
