Best single line lyric in a song?

I've been devising my own destruction
Since all of this began
Reduced to abnormal function
Sinking beneath the sand
 
' There was a time in this fair land when the railroads did not run.... '
 
Nothing earthshaking but something that struck me as a teen and have lived by to this very day. My theme music lol

I understand about indecision, but I don't care if I get behind. People living in competition, all I want is to have my peace of mind.

Boston ~ Peace of Mind
 
A salute to the late Shane MacGowan

And now I fear this lady fair can never more be mine
Long gone are nights in my lonely bed, all suffering and crying
And though I fear that through this life she'll call me only friend
'Til I'm dead and buried in my grave, my love will never end
 
Nobody's playing Manilow
Nobody's playing soul
And no one's playing hard to get
Just a good old rock 'n' roll

AC/DC - Get it Hot, 1979 from Highway to Hell
Always loved Bon as a wordsmith!
 
When there’s no one left to leave you
Even you don’t quite believe you
That’s when nothing can deceive you.

While you see a chance (Winwood)
 
On a day like today it has to be:

And as the sunset came to meet the evening on the hill,
I told you I'd always love you, I always did, I always will.

The Body of an American
The Pogues.
