Memorable lines from favourite songs.

In a young ladys bedroom I went by mistake
My intentions were honest you see
She shouted with laughter, "I know what you're after,"
 
It's a mighty hard row that my poor hands have hoed
My poor feet have traveled a hot dusty road
Out of your Dust Bowl and Westward we rolled
And your deserts were hot and your mountains were cold...
 

Sometimes it is nothing more than one line that gets me hooked

I just can't believe the loveliness of loving you
Sugar Sugar - The Archies
Sugar
Oh, honey, honey
You are my candy girl
And you got me wanting you
Honey
Oh, sugar, sugar
You are my candy girl
And you got me wanting you
I just can't believe the loveliness of loving you
(I just can't believe it's true)
I just can't believe the wonder of this feeling, too
(I just can't believe it's true)
Ah, sugar
Oh, honey, honey
You are my candy girl
And you got me wanting you

Hey Dad, what do you think about your son now?
Take a Picture - Filter
Awake on my airplane, awake on my airplane
My skin is bare, my skin is theirs
Awake on my airplane, awake on my airplane
My skin is bare, my skin is theirs
I feel like a newborn
And I feel like a newborn
Awake on my airplane, awake on my airplane
I feel so real
Could you take my picture?
'Cause I won't remember
Could you take my picture?
'Cause I won't remember
I don't believe in, I don't believe in
Your sanctity, your privacy
I don't believe in, I don't believe in
Sanctity, a hypocrisy
Could everyone agree that no one should be left alone?
Could everyone agree that they should not be left alone? (Yeah)
And I feel like a newborn
And I feel like a newborn
Kicking and screaming
Could you take my picture?
'Cause I won't remember
Could you take my picture?
'Cause I won't remember
Could you take my picture?
'Cause I won't remember
Hey dad, what do you think about your son now?
Oh, hey dad, what do you think about your son now?
 
Went walking one day on the lower East side
Met you with a girlfriend, you were so divine...
In the Flesh - Blondie
Darling, darling, darling
I can't wait to see you
Your picture ain't enough
I can't wait to touch you in the flesh (Ooh)
Darling, darling, darling (Darling)
I can't wait to hear you
Remembering your love (Ooh)
Is nothing without you in the flesh

Went walking one day on the lower East side
Met you with a girlfriend, you were so divine

She said, "Hands off this one sweetie, this boy is mine"
I couldn't resist you, I'm not deaf, dumb, and blind
 
It's a mighty hard row that my poor hands have hoed
My poor feet have traveled a hot dusty road
Out of your Dust Bowl and Westward we rolled
And your deserts were hot and your mountains were cold
