Best rock lyric ever?

[StatesideRambler]

She's livin' in L.A.
with my best old ex-friend, Ray

Operator -- Jim Croce

 

[Tom Bomb]

What's the point of calling shots

This cue ain't straight in line

Cue ball's made of Styrofoam

and no one's got the time​

 

[ThudThudThud]

They got a lot of nice girls
Have mercy
A haw, haw, haw, haw, a haw
A haw, haw, haw
...

La Grange - ZZTOP.

 

[TrevorR]

Here is my heart waiting for you.
Here is my soul. I eat at Chez Nous.

:/

Not Yes’ finest lyric but I do love that song!

 

[DaveKirkpatrick]

It makes no difference who I meet
They're just a face in the crowd
On a dead-end street

 

[TrevorR]

This just popped into my mind...

Cast your mind back ten years to the girl who’s next to me in school
If I put my hand upon her leg she’d hit me with her rule.

Fire Brigade, by The Move

 

[GwenOnBass]

Patty Hearst heard the burst of Roland's Thompson gun and bought it.

If I dare to venture out of the rock genre, and take detour into show and jazz standard tunes, the music and clever lyrics of Richard Rogers and Lorenz Hart always floored me. Ok, I'm done. Lets get back to rock...

Two come to mind;

The future's uncertain and the end is always near. --Doors

So let's leave it alone 'cause we can't see eye to eye
There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy
There's only you and me and we just disagree. --Dave Mason

 

[ErikP.Bass]

Finest day I’ve ever had, was when I learned to cry on demand.

 

[Pork_Chop]

"Oh yeah, life goes on. Long after the thrill, of livin' is gone."

 

[Kustom_Thunder]

The fever that I cought stole my name

 

[Stumbo]

Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

 

[McFly]

"Sadder still to watch it die
Than never to have known it
For you, the blind who once could see
The bell tolls for thee"

 

[ProgressiveDoom]

I like to Rock - April Wine
I wanna Rock - Twisted Sister
For those about to Rock - AC-DC
We were born to Rock - Gang Green
I am a Rock - Simon and Garfunkel .......etc. etc. etc. so many choices

 

[GwenOnBass]

I got the fever for this girl.

 

[Muddslide]

The future's uncertain and the end is always near. --Doors

Morrison had some great couplets.

I always dug

"Ya know the day destroys the night,
Night divides the day..."

 

[Rumble Thunder]

Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack

I went out for a ride and I never went back

Like a river that don't know where it's flowing

I took a wrong turn and I just kept going

Hungry Heart
Bruce Springsteen

 

[DeltaTango]

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
And stars fill my dream
I'm a traveler of both time and space
To be where I have been

 

[ColoRADoKT]

“I'm not gonna lie
I'll not be a gentleman
Behind the boathouse
I'll show you my dark secret

...do you want to die?“
