What is your favourite VERSE in a rock/pop song. And why? (hopefully this has legs)

Will start the ball rolling with

1:18 - 1:55
Always Crashing In The Same Car - David Bowie, off Low.

Jasmine, I saw you peeping
As I pushed my foot down to the floor
I was going round and round the hotel garage
Must have been touching close to 94
Oh, but I'm always crashing
in the same car

There's something in those words that just encapsulates the whole album, (my personal favourite of Bowie's by the way) - the way it's phrased. I love the introduction of this mysterious Jasmine. And the way he says "Oh". the whole thing just works
