That reminds me "You're sorta stuck where you are but in your dreams you can buy expensive cars or live on mars and have it your way.
And you hate your boss at your job but in your dreams you can blow his head off. In your dreams show no mercy." - Bad Days by The Flaming Lips.

Bah.

It's you that I adore
You will always be my whore
You'll be a mother to my child
And a child to my heart
We must never be apart

Did you miss me?
I bet you did.
Did you miss me
And what I did?
How's it going, kid?
How's the lovelife?
Not good?

Good.

Yeah, David Bowie has got to kill this category, unless Iggy & the Stooges or the Pogues have him somewhere, but he's got like a hundred contenders.  I couldn't pick.

i can't choose...

here are a few suggestions:
"sleeping in a van between a and b / sucking dick for ecstasy"
- the moldy peaches - downloading porn with davo

"there's no such thing as a harmless joke / there's no such thing as a gentle toke / there's no such thing as panama jack / who's got the crack?"
- the moldy peaches - who's got the crack

...no, but seriously. here are some interesting ones:
"fortunes fine advance ici, the last line's standing"
- north of america - speech is an experiment

just because of the way they sing it:
"s-o-f-t p-y-r-a-m-i-d-s e-v-p-o-r-a-t-e at daylight"
- q and not u - soft pyramids

"all your friends are cunts, your mother is a ballpoint-pen-thief"
- mclusky - gareth brown says

and this is by far the weirdest one:
"neonecropopulace has no reflection / neocaeczaristic phallic ruins"
- the mars volta - cut that city

I have to go with the already mentioned "Loser" But here are some other faves:

"You wired me awake, and hit me with a hand of broken nails." - Johnny CashSoundgarden, Rusty Cage

"Something's wrong because my mind is fading, and everywhere I look there's a dead-end waiting." - Beck, Devils Haircut.

"Any of you fucking pigs move, him and I will execute every mother-fucking last one of you." - Fun lovin' Criminals - Scooby Snacks (Doesn't really count)

"Wake up in the morning, clock says half past one." - Sublime, What happened?

"Lump sat alone in a boggy marsh, totaly motionless except for her heart." - P.U.S.A.

"All aboaaaaaaaaaaard! AHAHAHAHAHA!" - Ozzy, crazy train

"Flys in the Vasolene, we are." - STP, Vasoline

And here's a good one:

"Woo-Hoo!" - Blur, Song 2
Impossible

Some personal favourites:

I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream,
I cannot make a single sound as you scream,
It can't be that cold,
The ground is still warm to touch ...
- Red Rain by Peter Gabriel.

Welcome to your life, there's no turning back ...
- Everybody Wants To Rule The World by Tears For Fears.

You get a shiver in the dark, it's a-raining in the park in the meantime ...
- Sultans Of Swing by Dire Straits.

I have climbed the highest mountain,
I have run through the fields,
Only to be with you ...
- I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For by U2    :)

Forgive me for being a flag-burning hippie, but most anything by Dylan is good...

Bob Dylan - With God on Our Side

Oh my name it is nothin'
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest
I was taught and brought up there
The laws to abide
And that land that I live in
Has God on its side.

...this is a lot of lyrics, but it's kind of stream-of-consciousness, so it'd be hard to break apart...

Neutral Milk Hotel - Song Against Sex

And the first one tore a picture
Of a dead and hanging man
Who was kissing foreign fishes
That flew right out from this hands
And when I put my arms around him
I felt the blushing blood run through my cheeks
And an eeriness surrounded when his tongue began to speak
And he said, "Oh boy you are so pretty
Enough to wrap tight in rice-paper string..."
And when I finally kissed him the whole world began to ring
Lost like a bell that's tipping over
With two cracks along both sides
And I knew the world was over so I took a look outside
And watched the fires that were reaching
Up to the weather vane and the tops of trees
And the waiting scene and the Sunday dream
They're all waiting here for me

...okay, anything by Neutral Milk Hotel.

Neutral Milk Hotel - You've Passed

The lady is dying
She bends back like a wave
As her spirit is climbing
Through the hospital wall and away

Bright Eyes - Make War

Our love is dead but without limit
Like the surface of the moon
Or the land between here and the mountains

The Smiths - Bigmouth Strikes Again

Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking
When I said I'd like to smash every tooth
In your head

My all time fave by Electric Six:

You!
I wanna take you to a gay bar,
I wanna take you to a gay bar,
I wanna take you to a gay bar,
gay bar, gay bar.

Let's start a war, start a nuclear war,
At the gay bar, gay bar, gay bar.
Waah,
At the gay bar.

Now tell me, do ya, a do ya have any money?
I wanna spend all your money,
at the gay bar, gay bar, gay bar.

I've got something to put in you,
I've got something to put in you,
I've got something to put in you,
At the gay bar, gay bar, gay bar.
Hah!

You're a superstar at the gay bar.
Yeah you're a superstar at the gay bar.
You're a superstar at the gay bar.
Superstar.
Super, superstar!

I always thought Gay Bar started with "Girl!". And I still think so. Why did the money verse get consored? (I Invented the Night and Improper Dancing are great as well- plus all the others)

Best rock opener is: NIN- Piggy

Yeah you

One opening I particuarly like is Bring Me To Life by Evenescence, I've always liked the opening

How can you see into my eyes like open doors,
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb

"Got the goods brother bring it on, my mother done brought me up wrong, and you can use my dick for a walking stick as well."
Supersuckers - Born With A Tail

"You say you hate corporations but you were on NBC, London's calling and they're calling you gay"
Anal Cunt - Rancid Sucks(And The Clash Sucked Too)

"What if Christmas didn't come this year, and no one paid their Christmas cheer, who would cry the biggest tear, the child or the store?"
Primus - To Defy The Laws of Tradition

"Stupid ass punk sold for popularity, drink or preach yourself into stupidity, self assured and pompous, say you don't want us, unity is everything but only among your own kind"
Capitalist Casualties - Stupid Ass Punk

"If only your mom knew you wear bandanas and boots, or that you traded your tennis racquet for a camouflage jacket"
D.R.I. - Closet Punk(while we were on the subject...)

The fact that As The Sun Sets has a song called "I've Run Over Black Cats That Were Luckier Than Me" after Fry's quote of course

"There was this friend of mine need something we couldn't give convinient answers and a cheap way out killed himself without actually dying, took a blunt lie and gouged out his mind and I can't accept that he's found the answers to those questions I'll be trying to solve until I die and I can't accept that he's somehow 'better off' because the answers aren't that simple we always assumed he wasn't either and I want his beautiful religion to burn because Steve's dead and I wasn't offered the chance to say goodbye."
Born Against - Eulogy(says in the liner notes that this song got them in a lot of trouble...gee, I wonder why, it's great though)

I hear more than I like to
So I boil my head in a sense of humor
Laugh at what I cannot change
I throw it all on the pyre again.
