I would propose the complete lyrics from "Alice" and "Burma Shave" in their sultry appeal.octafish said:
I was bravin' the winters the best that I know
'Cause nothin's the same when you wait for something
I was alone till I thought it was better that way
-The Superjesus, Down Again
The road before me is lit by the bridges burning behind me
-Minor Joe, Bridges
'Cause nothin's the same when you wait for something
I was alone till I thought it was better that way

The road before me is lit by the bridges burning behind me

And I've had recurring nightmares
That I was loved for who I am
And missed the opportunity
To be a better man
- Hoodoo by Muse
Paradise comes at a price
That I am not prepared to pay
(...)
Take off your disguise
I know that underneath it's me
- Megalomania by Muse
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafriad
- Lions! by Lights
Most Muse songs could suffice for me.

Phew, too many. But I'll write some in the spoiler squares:
And that's about it for what I wanted to post for now.
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

Computerized technology
Wipes out all your enemies
Digital world controls
A dying analogue blasphemy
Acid dreams and hate patrols
Anarchy put the wold on hold
Cyber love, my only love
Never complains, she's under my thumb
This is the end of humanity - thrill me, kill me
Computer god is the enemy - deceive me, delete me
There is no lord that will set us free - thrill me, kill me
The computer god is the enemy - deceive me, delete me
Wipes out all your enemies
Digital world controls
A dying analogue blasphemy
Acid dreams and hate patrols
Anarchy put the wold on hold
Cyber love, my only love
Never complains, she's under my thumb
This is the end of humanity - thrill me, kill me
Computer god is the enemy - deceive me, delete me
There is no lord that will set us free - thrill me, kill me
The computer god is the enemy - deceive me, delete me
If my wish were to come true right now
I?d wish for wings
Please put white wings
On my back like a bird?s
I want to spread my wings
And fly in this sky
I want to make my wings flutter
In a free sky without sorrow
That thing I dreamt of as a child
I still dream of it, unchanged, now
I want to spread my wings
And fly in this sky
I want to make my wings flutter
In a free sky without sorrow
I?d wish for wings
Please put white wings
On my back like a bird?s
I want to spread my wings
And fly in this sky
I want to make my wings flutter
In a free sky without sorrow
That thing I dreamt of as a child
I still dream of it, unchanged, now
I want to spread my wings
And fly in this sky
I want to make my wings flutter
In a free sky without sorrow
What if I wanted to break
Laugh it all off in your face
What would you do?
What if I fell to the floor
Couldn't take all this anymore
What would you do, do, do?
Come break me down
Marry me, bury me
I am finished with you
What if I wanted to fight
Beg for the rest of my life
What would you do?
You say you wanted more
What are you waiting for?
I'm not running from you
Come break me down
Marry me, bury me
I am finished with you
Look in my eyes
You're killing me, killing me
All I wanted was you
I tried to be someone else
But nothing seemed to change
I know now, this is who I really am inside
Finally found myself
Fighting for a chance
I know now, this is who I really am
Come break me down
Marry me, bury me
I am finished with you, you, you
Look in my eyes
You're killing me, killing me
All I wanted was you
Come, break me down
Break me down
Break me down
What if I wanted to break?
What if I, what if I, what if I
Bury me, bury me
Laugh it all off in your face
What would you do?
What if I fell to the floor
Couldn't take all this anymore
What would you do, do, do?
Come break me down
Marry me, bury me
I am finished with you
What if I wanted to fight
Beg for the rest of my life
What would you do?
You say you wanted more
What are you waiting for?
I'm not running from you
Come break me down
Marry me, bury me
I am finished with you
Look in my eyes
You're killing me, killing me

Break me down
Break me down
What if I wanted to break?
What if I, what if I, what if I
Bury me, bury me
If I can make my way to the other side of sorrow
Then I don?t need warmth or tomorrow anymore
The dream that landed in the darkness of silence
Who?? Is the light that briefly spilled on my cheeks
Why?? Without knowing the method to stop an all too fragile world
I was simply wishing, that?s right, for oblivion
If I can make my way to the other side of sorrow
Then I?d like to not feel anything beyond this anymore
Why?? The repeating words, the collapsed promise
Echoed conspicuously and beautifully, and now, severed
Will you return to the other side of despair?
The utmost love entrusts its unblemished body to the eternal sail
If I can make my way to the other side of sorrow
Then I won?t even fear the lonely slumber anymore?
Then I don?t need warmth or tomorrow anymore
The dream that landed in the darkness of silence
Who?? Is the light that briefly spilled on my cheeks
Why?? Without knowing the method to stop an all too fragile world
I was simply wishing, that?s right, for oblivion
If I can make my way to the other side of sorrow
Then I?d like to not feel anything beyond this anymore
Why?? The repeating words, the collapsed promise
Echoed conspicuously and beautifully, and now, severed
Will you return to the other side of despair?
The utmost love entrusts its unblemished body to the eternal sail
If I can make my way to the other side of sorrow
Then I won?t even fear the lonely slumber anymore?
Within the spreading darkness, we exchanged vows of revolution
A flower of evil sprouted because it was loved
Because I won?t let anyone interfere
With everything that?ll come about from now on
A flower of evil sprouted because it was loved
Because I won?t let anyone interfere
With everything that?ll come about from now on
Don't fret precious I'm here.
Step away from the window.
Go back to sleep
Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils,
See, they don't give a fuck about you, like I do.

I?ll be the one to protect you from your enemies and all your demons
I'll be the one to protect you from a will to survive and a voice of reason
I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and your choices son
They're one in the same, I must isolate you?
Isolate and save you from yourself ?

So now I'm feelin' alright
'Cause nothin' feels like
When you're holdin' on.
Don't laugh. It makes me think of my girl.
I am the very model of a modern Major-General,
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news,
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.
I'm very good at integral and differential calculus;
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's;
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox,
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus,
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous;
I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies,
I know the croaking chorus from The Frogs of Aristophanes!
Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore,
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.
Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform,
And tell you ev'ry detail of Caractacus's uniform:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin",
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a Javelin,
When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at,
And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat",
When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery,
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery?
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy?
You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee.
For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury,
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

My favourite lyric is from the fandub Version of the Japanese Song Ash Like Snow, by the Brilliant green.
"The sky is dyed with crimson red, that comes out of the darkness of what needs to be said."
"The stars we used to know, no longer glow obscured by all the ash that falls like snow."
The introduction to the song, gets me every time.

It's by an alright band (kinda emo, but whatever), but I think it has a pretty cool story.

Tonight, tonight you are, you are a whispering campaign.
I bet to them your name is "Cheap", I bet to them you look like shh...
Talk to the mirror, oh, choke back tears.
And keep telling yourself that "I'm a diva!"
Oh and the smokes in that cigarette box on the table,
they just so happen to be laced with nitroglycerin.

There are a lot of songs with lyrics that are generally better than my song, but no line has ever been as good as
Metallica - No Leaf Clover
"Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel,
Is just a freight train coming your way"

Sorry, that really needed fixing.Khaiseri said:
I'd be here all day if I tried to write a complete list, so I'll just go with the thing I've quoted the most over the past few months:
"There's a twist in the fabric, there's a knot in the wood. There is no lesser evil, there is no greater good. Every heartbreaking lesson carries no wisdom at all, and I've had more second chances than I'd care to recall."
I think it's fair to say that David Ford is the most quotable songwriter in the world right now. Here's the song that the above quote came from.
I was born to love no one
No one to love me
Only the wind in the long green grass
The frost in a broken tree.
I was made to love magic
All its wonder to know
But you all lost that magic
Many many years ago.
I was born to use my eyes
Dream with the sun and the skies
To float away in a lifelong song
In the mist where melody flies.
I was made to love magic...
I was born to sail away
Into a land of forever
Not to be tied to an old stone grave
In your land of never.
I was made to love magic...

Pretty much any line ever written by Ludo, most notably 'Save Our City'.
There's a time to pray, and there's a time to fight
Anything can be a weapon if you're holding it right
Also, a line from Florence and the Machine's 'Falling'.
Sometimes I wish for falling, wish for the release
Wish for falling through the air to give me some relief
Because falling's not the problem, when I'm falling I'm at peace
It's only when I hit the ground it causes all the grief.

My father was a wolf
I'm a kinsman of the slain
Sworn to rise again
I will bring salvation, punishment and pain
The hammer of hate is our faith
Power and dominion are taken by the will
By divine right hail and kill
I'm a kinsman of the slain
Sworn to rise again
I will bring salvation, punishment and pain
The hammer of hate is our faith
Power and dominion are taken by the will

Let me hear the battle cry
Calling on the wind
Let me see the banners fly
Before the storm begins
Let me feel the spirits soar
Destroy the enemy
Striking at the evil core
For all the world to see
This day will last forever
Deep in the hearts of men
Courage and victory
Remember, remember
One Shot At Glory
In the crossfire overhead
Fate stands before me
Words have all been said
One Shot At Glory
Driving hard and seeing red
Destiny calls me
One night of fire
One Shot At Glory
Fighting on with dignity
In life and death we deal
The power and the majesty
Amidst the blood and steel
I still hear the battle cry
The call goes on and on
I still see the banners fly
The battle's always won
Calling on the wind
Let me see the banners fly
Before the storm begins
Let me feel the spirits soar
Destroy the enemy
Striking at the evil core
For all the world to see
This day will last forever
Deep in the hearts of men
Courage and victory
Remember, remember
One Shot At Glory
In the crossfire overhead
Fate stands before me
Words have all been said

Driving hard and seeing red
