I'm not talking about the full lyrics, but just a phrase or a sentence that you feel is right up your alley.

One of my personal favourites is from Barmy by The Fall: I got everything I want except for money.

Throw yourself into the unknown, with pace and a fury defiant. Clothe yourself in beauty untold, and see life as a means to a triumph

Now you come to me and you've got green streaks in your hair

You walk like Greta Garbo, but you talk like Yogi Bear

What's going on? What's going on?

I really don't believe what's going on; what's going on?

Without your love my life aint nothing but this carnival of rust

- Carnival of Rust by Poets of the Fall

EDIT: Another line I find to fit the bill, from the same song:

I'm on a hovercraft to Paris with my former best friend. We have to get to the cinematheque. We're not alone, but no one speaks english so we're free to look into each other's minds and see what we're thinking like we always used to. I miss talking to you.
