Surely someone by now has tried to cover it and make it electrosamba, reggaeton and synth pop? If not, that is still a rockin’ tattoo. 
“Today’s music ain’t got no soul”.
“en el mundo siempre habrá
Buena gente, mala gente
El que niega, el creyente
Sabio, necio, indiferente”
Rodolfo, Tabaco y Ron
« Mais qui est-ce qui m’a dit que toujours tu m’aimais? Je ne me souviens plus, c’était tard dans la nuit. J’entends encore la voix, mais je ne vois plus les traits: "Il vous aime, c’est secret, lui dites pas que je vous l’ai dit »
Carla Bruni, Quelqu’un m’a dit
Saskatchewan
Tu m’as pris ma femme
Mon cheval me parle plus
Mes vaches me disent « tu »
Les Trois Accords, Saskatchewan
« Come te po’ capì’ chi te vo’ bene
Si tu le parle miezo americano?
Quanno se fa l’amore sott’a luna
Come te vene 'ncapa ‘e di’ “I love you”? »
Yolanda Be Cool, We No Speak Americano
“Ah, get born, keep warm, short pants, romance,
Learn to dance, get dressed, get blessed, try to be a success. Please her, please him, buy gifts, don’t steal, don’t lift. Twenty years of schoolin’ and they put you on the day shift”
Bob Dylan, Subterranean Homesick Blues
“If you don’t like Bob Marley, you better stay away from me.”
Forro In The Dark, Nonsensical
“My thirsty wanted whisky; my hungry needed beans, but it’d been of month of paydays since I’d heard that eagle scream. So with a stomach full of empty and a pocket full of dreams…”
Kris Kristofferson, Beat The Devil
Maybe this earworm can be squished by posting it here:
Maybe the sky doesn’t cry; the rain drops are just condensation our tears cry for children that lie
-“Maybe the Madman” by The Troggs
I went out on lower Broadway and I felt that place within,
That hollow place where mothers weep and angels play with sin.
Bob Dylan, “Dirge”
This list is not bad, but not all single lines.
I’m currently listening to the same band I already posted a line from but here’s a couple more from The Flatliners:
“Let’s walk away from this grave, and from the notion that being foolish is being brave”
“No, your spirit’s not broken. It’s just worn out, razor thin.”
They do a cover of The Tragically Hip’s Ahead by a Century which includes the following brilliant line:
“no dress rehearsal, this is our life’“
I firmly believe there’s no single best song or lyric. It’s what’s best right now when you need to hear it.
“I need to be youthfully felt, cuz God I never felt young.”
Hozier, Jackie & Wilson
Lies can often give you power
Like a coffin filled with flowers
Gives life to the living, not the dead.
– Silver, Sharp, And Could Not Care by The Residents
