Great semi-forgotten lines from early-to-mid-'90s records, Part I (possibly first in a series):

"If you're so famous, why aren't you dead?"

from The Breeders' "I Just Want To Get Along", from Last Splash

That's a good one.

Lately, I've been appreciating the renewed timeliness of "I just flipped off President George/ I'm goin' to Dizz Knee Land." from Dada's self-titled album.

DADA! Yes! Thank you! I've been going mad (mad, I say!) for the past couple of months trying to remember that name.

If you'll excuse me, I have downloading to do.

More than a line, it's the last verse to one of the most humorous songs ever written- The Last of the Famous International Playboys:
In our lifetime those who kill
the newsworld hands them stardom
and these are the ways on which I was raised
these are the ways on which I was raised
I never wanted to kill
I am not naturally evil
such things I do
just to make myself more attractive to you
Have I failed?

god I love Morrissey
