Favorite Line in a Song

Bar none, my favorite single line(s) in any song has to be this one from Concrete Blonde. The song is called Tomorrow, Wendy and the line is:
I told the priest
don't count on any Second Coming.
God got His ass kicked
the first time
He came down here slumming

Favorite Lyric

From Concrete Blonde, Violent, from the album "Group Therapy":

It seems so easy and it looks so clean,
all the shiny happy people in the magazines
but nothing seems to mean what it meant.
A flood of blood and a burning pain
broken hearts and throbbing brains
the message has been sent
and it's violent.

The album came out 4 months after 9/11/01, but the song had been recorded before the event. In the mean time, I think the following lines from "This Perfect Place" on the Planet P Project album "Pink World" have become apropos:

We got the cutest little cameras hanging everywhere, oh yeah.
After a while you'll just forget they're there, oh yeah.
What a perfect place, this perfect place.

My favourtite line is from

My favourtite line is from the Meatloaf song of the same name.

In the land of the pigs, the butcher is king - Meat Loaf, Bat Out Of Hell III

PARADISE BY THE DASHBOARD

PARADISE BY THE DASHBOARD LIGHT - Meatloaf
... I couldn't take it any longer
Lord I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me
Like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore that I would love you to the end of time!

So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do

Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!!!
