Great lines indeed !

Hurry up with my damn croissants
What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed
"Oh, you've been in the house too long", she said
And I naturally fled
It doesn't mean that much to me, to mean that much to you

You're dirty, sweet and you're my girl

What a classic!
Great thread, even if it's not about drug cheaters or supershoes.
And the choices are many, so here is just a sampling, from five songs, off the top of my bleedin' 'ead:
Another in the seemingly endless offerings by Bob Dylan, “Tombstone Blues”:
“The sun isn't yellow, it's chicken.”
The Silhouettes, “Get A Job”:
“Ahh, yip-yip-yip-yip-yip-yip-yip-yip
Mum-mum-mum-mum-mum-mum, get a job.”
Paul Westerberg, “World Class Fad”:
“This 9 to 5 bullsh*t don’t let you forget
Whose suicide you’re on.”
Paul Simon, “Duncan”:
“Couple in the next room bound to win a prize
They've been going at it all night long.”
Human Sexual Response, “What Does Sex Mean to Me?”:
“I put my finger to my tongue
And I taste vagina”
"This ain't rock'n'roll, this is genocide."
Diamond Dogs
David Bowie
Bowie has a long career filled with amazing gems. An entire thread could be filled with just these.
Live and Let Live—Arthur Lee & Love
Oh, the snot has caked against my pants
It has turned into crystal
There's a bluebird sitting on a branch
I guess I'll take my pistol
I've got it in my hand
Because he's on my land
Frank Zappa
Watch out where the huskies go,
And don't you eat that yellow snow
Dylan-Positively 4th Street
I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment I could be you
Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is to see you
A tribute to this thread
Rock ‘n Roll Is Here To Stay—Danny and the Juniors (1958)
Rock 'n roll is here to stay,
It will never die
It was meant to be that way,
Though I don't know why
I don't care what people say,
Rock 'n roll is here to stay
Steve Earle:
"The Devil's Right Hand"
"Not guilty I said, you've got the wrong man
Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand."
More John Prine:
"When I Get to Heaven"
"Yeah when I get to heaven, I'm gonna take that wristwatch off my arm
What are you gonna do with time after you've bought the farm?"
And two from The Hold Steady:
"Sequestered in Memphis"
"In bar light she looked alright
In daylight she looked desperate."
"Constructive Summer"
"Raise a toast to Saint Joe Strummer
I think he might have been our only decent teacher."

Sort of like Warren Zevon's "Ain't That Pretty At All":
"So I'm going to hurl myself against the wall
'Cause I'd rather feel bad than not feel anything at all."
Holdin' on to sixteen as long as you can
Change is coming 'round real soon
Make us women and men
Mellencamp
The screen door slams
Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
as the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn your back again
I just can't face myself alone again.
One day you're up and the next day you're down
You can't face the world with your head to the ground
You’re too young and I’m too well hung
Feel like Scott of the Antarctic,
Base camp too far away,
Russian sun beneath the Arctic,
Burke and Wills and camels,
Initials in the tree

Before computers it was difficult to understand any lyrics of this song!
