Best single line lyric in a song?

another:

Just a human desire to have you come near
Want to put my arms around you
Feel your breath in my ear
You can bend me, you can break me
But you better stand clear
 
You and me on the bobbing knee.
Didn't we cry at that old mythology he'd read!
I will come home again, but not until
The sun and the moon meet on yon hill.
 
"Love, it will not betray you, dismay or enslave you, it will set you free, be more like the man you were made to be."

Sigh No More, Mumford & Sons
 
"Take the time to make some sense
Of what you want to say
And cast your words away upon the waves
Bring them back with Acquiesce
On a ship of hope today
And as they fall upon the shore
Tell them not to fear no more
Say it loud and sing it proud
And they..."

What will you do / when the people you knew
Are the plastic that melted / and the chromium too?
WHO ARE THE BRAIN POLICE?
 
How would you like one puffing and blowing in your ear - ole?
Or pissing in your swimming pool.


Ian Dury, Blockheads

"Sex and violence"
Sex and violence - The Exploited
It's the only lyric in the song, sung repeatedly in varying tones and at varying speeds. Excellent if you really want to irritate your neighbours.
 
Take back that sad word goodbye
Bring back the joy to my life
Don't leave me here with these tears
Come and kiss this pain away
I can't forget the day you left
Time is so unkind
And life is so cruel without you here beside me
