Also, from Love & Peace:
As you enter this life
I pray you depart
With a wrinkled face
And a brand new heart
YES! especially the way Bono sings "depart"
BRILLIANT
however the absolute best line for me has got to be "A house doesn't make a home/Don't leave me here alone" from Sometimes...
everytime I hear that line I tear up. It makes me want to go hug my mom and dad and grandpa and grandma and everyone and tell them I love them no matter what (I know that sounds horribly cheesy), and I really, really, really get the strong desire to hug Bono and never let go...I can sense his sorrow in that line... it's almost as if he's begging "please, don't die, don't leave me alone..." I know that if any one of my parents or even grandparents died I would be so completely lost (and I guess grandparents is something I'll have to deal with soon...hopefully not too soon.) something about that line just HITS me.
Okay, other notables (most mentioned already by others):
"A feeling is so much stronger than a thought
Your eyes are wide and though your soul it can't be bought
Your mind can wander" - Vertigo
"Time won't leave me as I am
But time won't take the boy out of this man" - City of Blinding Lights
"With a mouth full of teeth
You ATE all your friends
And you broke every heart
Thinking every heart mends" -Crumbs From Your Table (it's ate. hate doesn't make sense. and it's a great lyric, very Fly-esque)
"I like the sound of my own voice
I didn't give anyone else a choice" -All Because of You
and...em...
