90% of Sunset Rubdown's lyrics.

My favorite:
Quote from: Us Ones In Between
You are a waterfall waiting inside a well
And you are a wrecking ball before the building fell
And every lightning rod has gotta watch the storm cloud come

Pink Floyd

Wish You Were Here

Could quote the whole thing, it's a masterpiese.

"So, so you think you can tell
 
Heaven from Hell
 
Blue skies from pain
 
Can you tell a green field
 
From a cold steel rail?
 
A smile from a veil?
 
Do you think you can tell?"

Roger Waters: It's a Miracle.  I like the whole song, but the last stanza is a riot

Miraculous you call it babe
You ain't seen nothing yet
They got Pepsi in the Andes
They got McDonalds in Tibet
Yosemite's been turned into a golf course For the Japs
And the Dead Sea is alive with rap
Between the Tigris and Euphrates
There's a leisure centre now
They got all kinds of sports
They got Bermuda shorts
They had sex in Pennsylvania
A Brazilian grew a tree
And a doctor in Manhattan
Saved a dying man for free

It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
Another miracle
By the grace of God Almighty
And the pressures of the marketplace
The human race has civilized itself
It's a miracle

We got warehouses of butter
We got oceans of wine
We got famine when we need it
We got designer crime
We got Mercedes
We got Porsche, Ferrari and Rolls Royce
Yeah, we got choice
She said meet me
In the Garden of Gethsemene my dear
The Lord said, Peter I can see your house from here
An honest man
Finally reaped what he had sown
And a farmer in Ohio has just repaid a loan

It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
Another miracle
By the grace of God Almighty
And the pressures of the marketplace
The human race has civilized itself
It's a miracle

We cower in our shelters
With our hands over our ears
Lloyd-Webber's awful stuff
Runs for years and years and years
An earthquake hits the theatre
But the operetta lingers
Then the piano lid comes down
And breaks his fucking fingers
It's a miracle


Devin Townsend Night.

And I love you more than I can say
But I hate you every other way
