Memorable Lines from any song

[Fko Lrrtok]

Is there any lines from songs past and present that really connect with you, or make you laugh, think, cry, or just that you think are quirky or even offensive.
What lines from a song have stuck with you over the years and and have affected you in the past or still do now.
I'll start with a few:

"You were pumping iron while I was pumping irony"- Heaven Knows, Robert Plant.
"If you leave me can I come too"- If you leave me can I come too, Mental as anything.
"Too much tripping and my souls worn thin"- Big Empty, Stone Temple Pilots.
"Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do"- Imagine, John Lennon.
"How can I go forward if I don't know which way I'm facing"- How, John Lennon.

It's really hard to pick, but here's a quick (define quick) list off the top of my head.

"Is something wrong?, she said. Of course there is. You're still alive, she said. and do I deserve to be? Is that the question? and if so, who answers?" - 'Alive' by Pearl Jam
"Does anyone know where the love of god goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?" - 'The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald' by Gordon Lightfoot
"No, his mind is not for rent, to any god or government; always hopeful yet discontent, knows changes aren't permanent. But change is" - 'Tom Sawyer' by Rush

Ah yes thank-you for reminding me of another:

"There must be some mistake I didn't mean to let them take away my soul am I too old is it too late".- 'The Show must go on' by Pink Floyd

"Hold for the last time then slip away quietly. Open my eyes, but I never see anything."

and

"Sitting out on a palm beach road, I'm so drunk and the car won't go, my crazy eyes keep looking out to sea, Sunday drivers cruisin round, wish they'd all go back to town, what do they expect to find, sure as hell aint peace of mind." -'Deep Water' by Richard Clapton.

[Fko Lrrtok]

"Diamonds scattered out to sea, the sun keeps laughing down on me, this crazy horse is trying to chase the wind."-Capricorn Dancer, Richard Clapton.
