I don’t care for adulation
or so that strangers may weep.
I sing for a far strip of country
narrow but endlessly deep.

This is the best thing I've seen on this thread, and while I don't normally look at lyrics threads, discovering Victor Jara was definitely worth the time.

Since I don't want to post entire huge songs, I'll just put my favorite lines, out of context:
Quote:
Ring the bells that still can ring,
Forget your perfect offering.
There's a crack in everything;
That's how the light gets in.

- Leonard Cohen, "Anthem"
Quote:
We want your pardon ere we go
For having agonized you so,
So pardon us,
So pardon us,
So pardon us,
Or die!

- W. S. Gilbert,
Ruddigore
