My third choice courtesy of James Marshall Hendrix:
"Will the wind ever remember
the names it has blown in the past?
And with this crutch, its old age, and its wisdom
it whispers no, this will be the last
And the wind cries Mary"
Favorite lines from the 60s?
Brian based on songs that make observantt,social or in the moment statements these lyrics are as relevant today as when we first heard them
"The eastern world, it is explodin’.
Violence flarin’, bullets loadin’
You’re old enough to kill, but not for votin’
You don’t believe in war, but what’s that gun you’re totin’
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin’"

Roy,
Barry was very blunt and direct with his comments. George being typically English, made more subtle personalized references to the condition of the world.
I think Georges comments gave us keen insight to the condition of the writer in the moment. That's why I like it so much. He shared himself in his songs. As you say, they are all still relevant today.
That is the shame of it all.

I love your arguments, guys, but i'd like to offer a "compromise" variant - Here comes the sun - will it go?
(in fact, my third Beatles' favorite, the second is "While my guitar..." and the first one of course "Helter Skelter")
Okay, if you went to Hendrix, Brian, since he's not from BI, i'll quote my favorite from the US guys:
"People talkin' without speakin', people hearin' without listenin'" (in fact, a case when the full lyric can be quoted, and each line is a "killer" - IMHO)

Nothing will get you dead quicker than being deadly serious about yourself.
Actually in my mind Jimi sort of qualifies Sheena. He launched his career in England, both band mates were British and he had a British manager.
So apart from the fact that he was born in Seattle he like a few other successful Americans emerged from the British music scene to become a household name.

"Happiness Is a Warm Gun" not one of my personal favorites Dane, but that's why this forum is so great. Every one gets to post their opinion.

Well, I don't know that the song's my favorite (I do like it though)...but that line really does it to me...
Maybe something more uplifting is in order, such as: "If I don't see you again in this world, I'll see you in the next one...and don't be late..."

I didn't get where I am today by being on time...
My favourite is a Dylan line from "One Too Many Mornings" that has come into my head a million times in any conflicts I have ever had with anybody-a personal mantra to try and see the other guy's point of view:
"You are right from your side, I am right from mine. We're both just one too many mornings and a thousand miles behind."
"You are right from your side, I am right from mine. We're both just one too many mornings and a thousand miles behind."
Well as this has now opened up Stateside,
'Disillusioned words like bullets bark
As human gods aim for their mark
Made everything from toy guns that spark
To flesh-coloured Christ's that glow in the dark
It's easy to see without looking too far
That not much
Is really sacred.
And 'Money doesn't talk, it swears'
Both from the same track.
