Good one. How about:
"Darling, that morning you chose to go
I awoke in my boots and clothes.
You'd taken my car and stolen my cash
Even my five hundred dollar suit was slashed..."
Slowly Goes The Night, Nick Cave.

When I was a young boy
my momma said to me,
"There's only one girl in
the world for you...
and she probably lives in Tahiti."

"Young, gifted and skint - that's where it in't."
- "Young, Gifted and Skint" by New Model Army.
Worst rhyme in rock. I still don't know what it means, but it's a favourite for the sheer audacity of the thing.

My life is changing
in so many ways
I don't know who
to trust anymore
There's a shadow running
thru my days
Like a beggar going
from door to door.
Of course, the next line isn't so very PC.

Blue Gene baby
Skinny white sailor the chances were slim
There were beauties were brief
Shall I mourn your decline
With some thunderbird wine
And a black handkerchief
I miss your sad virginia whisper
I miss the voice that called my heart
I met her in a club down in Notting Hill where they drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry cola C.O.L.A. cola.......
I read the news today, oh boy........
Out of bed at eight am, out my head by half past ten, out with mates and dates and friends, that's what I do at weekends.... Specials, Friday Night, Saturday Morning.

Or, this from the first track on Lil Kim's first album, cant remember the name of the song. Always makes me laugh....

I'm quite partial to:
Did I ever tell you about the man who changed my life?
The one I thought, ohhh. Lord, when I saw him walkin' back in that bar, all tall and
lean with them broad shoulders, sweeeet lips, I knew that I had died and gone to. . .
Chocolate Heaven. . .
Then that funky bassline drops

pooled all their money and gave it to you
do you think you could raise enough to save your skin?

I was too tired to move

I need to get hold of that record. I saw some BBC Four clips programme not very long ago which had Patti Smith performing that song - which I'd heard of, but not previously heard - and I have to say it was utterly riveting.
