A thread devoted to the best closing lyrics in songs

Well, I've searched thoroughly for this and nothing relevant seems to have cropped up, sooooooooo...

I'd like to nominate the closing lyric from The Rolling Stones' "Midnight Rambler" here...

"I'll stick my knife right down your throat, baby... and it hurts!"

"What is the point of this story?
What information pertains?
The thought that life could be better
Is woven indelibly
Into our hearts and our brains"
--Paul Simon

the lyric that sticks with me the most is "Is it always like this?" from "Siamese Twins"

this is the last song I will ever sing
but I'll change my mind again
goodnight and thank you

Oh yeah, agreed. I mean, it's not really that special a lyric when it's read cold off a piece of paper or a computer screen, but the way it's used to end that particular song (and I think, the end of Side One of Pornography?) is just great.

The Shangri-Las had some gems:

I don't think... it will ever... happen... again

She grew so lonely in the end the angels picked her for their friend
And I can never go home anymore
And that's called "sad"

Well, how does he dance?
Close. Very very close

I climb the stairs
I shut the door
I turn the lock
Alone once more
And no one can hear me cry. No one

it's a day's work

What are you doing Sunday, baby?
Would you like to come and meet me maybe?
You can even bring your baby.

What do you make of the cool set in London?
You're constantly updating your hit parade of your ten biggest wanks
She's a waitress and she's got style
Sunday bathtime could take a while
