Best Lines in a Song (Lyrics)

Here are some of my favorite lyrics:
  • "When he's underwater does he get Wet? Or does the water get 'him' instead?" ("Particle Man", They Might be Giants) I love the general weirdness of it, and how there's almost some actual science involved.
  • "First thing I remember I was lying in my bed, cou'dn't have been no more than 1 or 2." ("Late in the Evening", Paul Simon) Great ambiguity: are we talking about 1 or 2 am? or 1 or 2 years of age?
  • "I want a song that's indelible
    Like manimal " ("Wind Up", The Foo Fighters)
