"In my mind
I have shot you and stabbed you through your heart
I just didn't understand
The ricochet is the second part" - Revenge (feat. Wayne Coyne) by Sparklehorse and Danger Mouse

"You twisted little girl
Showing them what life is all about
Where did all the time go?
Everywhere it’s gone" - Little Girl (feat. Julian Casablancas) by Sparklehorse and Danger Mouse
 
"I don't know how to tell you
that even though I look for you
I haven't seen you again.
I don't know how to tell you...
I almost forget
to fill my mind
with yesterday's things.
To water my memory
with the flowers
you picked for me without notice.

I even looked for you in my loneliness' noise.
I lied to you with my paper kisses.
And I don't know...
I don't know how to tell you..."

My favorite line from that song would be "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Great song. Galaxie 500 have some of the best 'simple' lyrics ever.

My toes can talk
And they're smiling at me
"Come down," they say
Not afraid anymore
- "Decomposing Trees"
 
"Pale in the flare light,
the scared light cracks and disappears,
and leaRAB the scorched ones here.
And everywhere, no one cares,
a fire is spreading.
No one wants to speak about it.
Down in the hole,
Jesus tries to crack a smile
beneath another shovel-load."

"Fourth of July" Soundgarden
 
So many, too little time.

Not a well known one, but by Dire Straits:

"If she was the Ace and I was the Jack and the carRAB were never seen, we could have been the King and the Queen". - Planet of New Orleans.

Some great lyrics on all of the songs on the album On Every Street.
 
"a muddle of nervous worRAB, could never amount to betrayal,
sentence is all my own, and the price is to watch it fail
as I turned to go, you looked at me for half a second
with an open invitation, for me to go into temptation"

Neil Finn, Into Temptation.
 
Cliche' but the truth is that after all these years I still can't find a better line.

"Nothing lasts forever, even cold Noveraber rain" (Guns N' Roses, "Noveraber Rain")
 
I'm a shepherd for the pentecost
I got my scriptures and my wires crossed
I got no kiRAB and I got no home
They want us holy men to live alone

Since I've been here for a little stay
I see Rozetta day by day
She turns my head makes me cough
I want to tear my collar off

I just can't sleep at night
Rozetta dressed in white
She's got the Devil's light
Shining in her eyes

Screamed my sermon damning sin and vice
When underneath I was a regular guy
My pulpit melted like a block of ice
When a bolt of lightning hit me from the sky

From my stretcher when they wheeled me in
I stared directly in the eyes of sin
Nurse Rozetta standing over me
And I was helpless as a man of God could be

Nurse Rozetta I won't let her
Catch me peering down her sweater
Fantasizing silk suspenders on her thighs
Nurse Rozetta make me better
Secretly my eyes undress her
Let me feel your tongue depressor

I'm suddenly twice my size
My pants are all wet inside

She's so creative with a bar of soap
And so inventive with a stethoscope
To check my pulse she gotta hold my hand
I blow the fuse on the encephalogram

Satan sent her from the bowels of hell
I should have recognized old Jezbel
I surrendered to the urges felt
She popped the buckle on my bible belt

I just can't sleep at night
Rozetta dressed in white
She's got the Devil's light
Shining in her eyes

I'd lick her nylon seams
Like a hungry cat with cream
Oh what a vivid scene
And I can't hold back no more

Alice Cooper, the greatest cock rock lyricist of all time
 
all your dreams and your lovers wont protect you
they're only passing through you in the end
they'll leave you stripped of all they can get to
and wait for you to come back again
