Best rock lyric ever?

[Richland123]

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight

Did you exchange a walk-on part in the war
for a lead role in a cage

 

[Quinn Roberts]

Talk, it's only talk
Arguments, agreements, advice, answers
Articulate announcements
It's only talk

I mean, I would argue Queens of the Stone Age's "Feel Good Hit of the Summer" refrain of 'Nicotine Vallium Vicodin Marijuana Ecstacy and Alcohol....Co co co co co coCAIN!!' is pretty rock and roll if we're talking about all the things the OP mentioned

-- " don't forget this fact; you can't get it back ."

Not a poll and I know there is no correct answer. Just wondering what lyric you think is the best ever.

I'm specifically saying lyric as opposed to lyrics. Just one line, not a whole verse or chorus.

I went to see Nine Inch Nails last night and I think Trent Reznor came up with the best rock lyric ever. First line to the chorus of Closer: I want to **** you like an animal.

It's nasty, vulgar, offensive, dangerous, and menacing but it's also sexy, fun, and crazy. It's a song that is rough enough for the boys but still sexy enough for the girls to get into as well. A nice balance. And it was a wonderful experience to be in a room with thousands of women screaming that line at the top of their lungs.

The one that came to mind is from Led Zeppelin "Black Dog": "Hey hey honey, when you walk that way, see your honey drip can't keep away.....".

Did anyone think of "Excuse me, while I kiss this guy"? (Hendrix)
Or, "There's a bathroom on the right". (Credence Clearwater Revival).

It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here
And I'm much obliged to you for making it clear that I'm not here

Syd Barret's last song - Jugband Blues - with Pink Floyd - on Saucerful of Secrets

Avon lady fills the creases
When she manages to squeeze in past the caravans
That never move from their front gardens

Well I used to be disgusted
Now I try to be amused...

For me it's a toss-up...

"This song's so long, it ends up where it begins..."
- The Who, Cooks County

"I can't think of a word that rhymes!"
- Alice Cooper, School's Out For Summer.

You gotta know that in both cases the writing process just wasn't cooking and these were just fill-ins that ended up staying in. Love stuff like that....

But you can reach the top of your profession
If you become the leader of the land
For murder is the sport of the elected
And you don't need to lift a finger of your hand
Because it's murder by numbers one two three
It's as easy to learn as your ABCs

This line from Metallica's Disposable heroes, not necessarily the best, but the one that gets my heart rate up:
I was born for DYYYYIIIIIIING!!
5:40

[Fattbottom]

Well now if I ever live to be an old man
I'm gonna sail down to Martinique
I'm gonna buy me a sweat-stained Bogart suit
And an African parakeet
And then I'll sit him on my shoulder
And open up my trusty old mind
I gonna teach him how to cuss, teach him how to fuss
And pull the cork out of a bottle of wine
