I agree with all of the above. I love most Paul's lyrics. If I had to chose one it would propably be The End.

Mine's from "Mamunia" off Band on the Run. Old Siam Sir's are from "On The Way" and "Light From Your Lighthouse" I believe.

Old Siam Sir said,

"You know I'll always love you but it would've been a lie…if I said that I could please you every moment that I try.

*When the sky is filled up with storms and heavy rain and trouble starts slidin' across my mind it's hard for me to see which road I'm gonna take. I know I need to find a way to leave it all behind."

Ben Ramon said, " So lay down your umbrella, strip off your plastic mac. You've never felt the rain, my friend, til you've felt it running down your back."

"What does it matter to you? When you've got a job to do, you gotta do it well; you gotta give the other fella HELL."

"Time after time, you refuse to even listen. I wouldn't mind, if I knew what I was missing."

"You want her. You need her. And yet you don't believe her when she says her love is dead, you think she needs you."

"Behind the shelter in the middle of the roundabout, a pretty nurse is selling puppies from a tray. And though she feels as if she's in a play, she is anyway."

"And it really doesn't matter, if ...

WARNING: Opinions Only!!!!

*Best lyric ever written: And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

*Wisper words of wisdom - Let it be.

*Oh that magic feeling, no where to go.

*I was stuck in the attic a piano up my nose.

*If this ever changing world in which we live in makes you give in and cry, say live and let die!

*You know I'll always love you but it would've been a lie...if I said that I could please you every moment that I try.

*When the sky is filled up with storms and heavy rain and trouble ...

Baby I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time,

Maybe I'm amazed at the way I love you,

Baby I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time

Hung me on a line,

Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you.

- Maybe I'm Amazed

I think Ringo donated the "darning his socks" bit, rather than the jar line. IIRC that's what Pete Shotton said in his book (oh, I wish I still had a copy).
These lyrics are great taken out of context. I never really saw him as a great lyricist before, but he definitely had something special.

"Father makenzie. Wiping his hands as he walks from the grave. No one was saved" -Eleanor Rigby just overall has great lyrics. Even if they are a little nonsensical.

"Take a sad song and make it better" -Hey Jude is amazing. That's all I have to say.

"Let's all get up and dance to a song that was a hit before your mother was born" -I know it's a cheesy song, but I really like it because I feel like all the music I like WAS a hit before my mom was born.

Thoes are some of the ones I ...

I always thought the "face in a jar by the door" was a Ringo line. I think I read he said it was. Anyway, it is a wicked cool line.

"Live a little. Be a gypsy. Get around. Get your feet up off the ground. Live a little. Get around."

"And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong I'm right
Where I belong I'm right
Where I belong"

"Something inside that was always denied for so many years"

"Love has a nasty habit of disappearing over night"

"Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time
And hung me on a line"

"Wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door"(that is just so awesomelly wicked)

I like most of his "story telling" songs, anyway

"Sit beside a mountain stream; see her waters rise. Listen to the pretty sound of music as she flies." – Mother Nature's Son

"You want her, you need her. And yet you don't believe her when she says her love is dead; you think she needs you." – For No One

"Bright are the stars that shine, dark is the sky. I know this love of mine will never die; and I love her." – And I Love Her

Let It Be. For No One. Monkberry Moon Delight. Maybe I'm Amazed.

"The movement you need is on your shoulder."

"Tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun."

There are probably more, but my mind is drawing blanks. It's easier for me to find the best John lyrics than of Paul's.

"Every morning brings a new day. Every night that day is through." from Every Night. Reminds me a little of another favorite lyric, "Now the darkness only stays the night-time
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good at arriving at the right time
Its not always going to be this grey." from All Things Must Pass. Both say almost the same thing. Paul's is just a little more succinct, but it works for me.

I also love the nonsense lyrics from Monkberry Moon Delight and Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey.

"Play the game, fight the fight, but whats the point on a beautiful night?" from We All Stand Together. I love that line, easily one of Pauls best lyrics ever.
