A thread devoted to the best closing lyrics in songs

Well, I've searched thoroughly for this and nothing relevant seems to have cropped up, sooooooooo...

I'd like to nominate the closing lyric from The Rolling Stones' "Midnight Rambler" here...

"I'll stick my knife right down your throat, baby... and it hurts!"

"We do what we want and we do it with pride"

"And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west."

"Fat man don't like you"

Haha!

"What is the point of this story?
What information pertains?
The thought that life could be better
Is woven indelibly
Into our hearts and our brains"
--Paul Simon

the lyric that sticks with me the most is "Is it always like this?" from "Siamese Twins"

this is the last song I will ever sing
but I'll change my mind again
goodnight and thank you

the lyric that sticks with me the most is "Is it always like this?" from "Siamese Twins"

Oh yeah, agreed. I mean, it's not really that special a lyric when it's read cold off a piece of paper or a computer screen, but the way it's used to end that particular song (and I think, the end of Side One of Pornography?) is just great.

"I've finally come to understand life through staring blankly at my navel" - 4st. 7lb, Manic Street Preachers.

'Doesn't matter. Probably get hit by a car anyway'

My answer.

The Shangri-Las had some gems:

I don't think... it will ever... happen... again

She grew so lonely in the end the angels picked her for their friend
And I can never go home anymore
And that's called "sad"

Well, how does he dance?
Close. Very very close

I climb the stairs
I shut the door
I turn the lock
Alone once more
And no one can hear me cry. No one

your eyes
it's a day's work
just
looking into them.

"And we just smiled" - cue guitar solo.

Nice choice, that.

Just wait til tomorrow
I guess that's what they all say
Just before they fall apart

What are you doing Sunday, baby?
Would you like to come and meet me maybe?
You can even bring your baby.

on paper it makes perfect sense

"And we just smiled" - cue guitar solo.

What's this from? It seems so familiar.

"second language" by Disco Inferno

And if you think that you can tell a bigger tale
I swear to god you'd have to tell a lie

*weird bird cackle*

"and so it's my assumption/I'm really up the junction"

What do you make of the cool set in London?
You're constantly updating your hit parade of your ten biggest wanks
She's a waitress and she's got style
Sunday bathtime could take a while

But I'mma take her back hoping that the shit stop
Cause who I'm talking bout y'all.....is hip-hop

Even though I started to feel cold
And I was far from town
I just sat there in the dark

I close my eyes
And my twilight images go by
All too soon
Like an angel passing through my room

The sign that leads the way
The path we cannot take
You've caught me at a bad time
So why don't you piss off

let us wallow
let us play
this is our god's day
