I oughta have my f***ing head examined for screwing with a skank like you.
But it wasnt like I really fell for you, I was just cold and empty through and through... (Blood For Blood, So Common, So Cheap)

All you numbers in the cell block:
All you sweating in the detox:
To all you hoods that are dodging cops
And to all you bleeding from a broken heart
You know youve got a brother here. ... (Blood For Blood, Hanging on the Corner Blood)

"Time Flies Like An Arrow, Fruit Flies Like A Banana" - Groucho Marx (OK, it's not a song lyric but it should have been!)

Not a lyric either but my favourite Groucho line is: 'I would have beaten him to within an inch of his life but I didn't have a ruler.'

They can be incisive or deep and meaningful, famous/published or your own originals. Quote your sources and no plagiarism after the fact please!

I'll start with:

"What do you mean I'm not kind? Just not your kind." (Dave Mustaine, Megadeth)

"It doesn't matter what you say.... ' cos they'll always find some meaning in it anyway." (Henry Rollins, The Rollins Band)
[/quote]
"What d'ya mean i don't pay my bills! Why do you think i'm always broke?!" (Dave Mustaine, Megadeth)

Still my favourite;-

Stranger from another planet, welcome to our hole
Just strap on your guitar, and we'll play some rock'n'roll
(Stranglers, (Get a) Grip (on yourself)

I also like:-

Adam Chance and Zorro, take them with a pinch of salt,
Sad about tomorrow, sorry, but it's not my fault
(The Damned, History of the World part 1)

In similar vein:-

You want me to beg forgiveness, tender an apology
It's not my fault and you're not getting one from me
(Husker Du, Sorry Somehow)

and also:-

Black Shuck-that dog don't give a f***!
(The Darkness, Black Shuck)

My personal favourite of this genre:

Far away across the field the tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees to hear the softly spoken magic spells.

Pink Floyd - Breathe (reprise)

"come down off the cross, we can use the wood
come on up to the house"

Tom Waits - Come On Up To The House

"Bury me at sea where no murdered ghosts can haunt me
if I rock upon the waves no corpse can lie upon me"

The Pogues - If I Should Fall From Grace With God

"The deeper the water, the cooler the stream,
the thicker the lumber, the stronger the beam"

Chris Murray - We Do The Ska

Como no me satisfizo la experiencia sexual
Se me hincharon los vapores, me converti en huracan.
Di unas tres o cuatro vueltas y a la quinta me canse.
Este cuarto es muy pequeño para las cosas que sueño.

Mecano, Aire.

Just one example of their brilliant lyrics. I'd quote the whole of Stereosexual but it wouldn't be "1 or 2 lines", and it'd get me in trouble with the PC brigade.

Cleaned my teeth, put on my best clobber,
Tonight's the night I'm going to knob her
Vauxhall Viva's covered in rust,
But you can't shag a bird on a 29 bus ... Beer and Sex and Chips and Gravy Macc Lads

Extra kudos for using a kazoo in the song

Ace. I'd forgotten all about the 'Ladds from Macc'
