Best song lyric

is from U2's 'One' according to a VH1 poll (h/t Althouse). They picked “One Life, with Each Other Sisters, Brothers”. That's a pretty defensible choice.
My listening habits tend more towards the music than the lyric so I have a hard time picking out better lines. One that sticks with me is from Suzanne Vega's 'Language':

I'd like to meet you
In a timeless, placeless place
Somewhere out of context
And beyond all consequences

It's always struck a chord with me.

(No idea why the fonts are all crazy here. Sorry!)
