As suggested by D50, great lines from songs.

And here's the greatest. You'll never beat this. It wins.

From Dylan's 'You're Gonna' Make Me Lonesome When You Go'

"Relationships have all been bad, mine’ve been like Verlaine’s and Rimbaud"

Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
Now you say you love me

Julie London - Cry Me A River

The use of the word 'plebian'. The sheer audacity of rhyming it with the split sentance. Quality. Arthur Hamilton, take a bow.

a singer must die for the lie in his voice.

Aotearoa
Rugged individual
Glisten like a pearl
At the bottom of the World

Split Enz - Six Months In A Leaky Boat

Anyone that can put 'Aotearoa' into a song, and get away with it too, gets my vote!

What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed
"You've been in the house too long" she said
And I (naturally) fled

The Smiths - heaven knows i'm miserable now

They had a meeting in Mayfair
They got you down an'
They wanna keep you there
It makes them worried
Their bank accounts
That's all that matters
And you don't count

The clash - remote control

You know what they say ‘bout honey bears,
When you shave off all their baby hairs,
You have a hairy-minded pink bare bear.

Don’t know.
