Yo! You know those lines that you hear on a song that make you think that that is a the best staple one liner from a band! Here I will give you examples:
 
I get up I get down- Yes Close to the edge
 
Stand up and fight for you know we are right- Genesis the knife
 
Did you ever imagine the last thing you hear is the fading out of a song-Porc tree arriving somewhere but not here
 
Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends- ELP- Karn eveil 9

You've gotta be crazy...
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I am you and what I see is me

To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here." Tool - Right in two.

The memories of a man in his old age are the deeds of a man in his prime.
And through the window in the wall comes streaming in on sunlight wings a million bright ambassadors of morning.
Warm glow, moon gloom always need a little more room.
If I were a good man, I'd understand the spaces between friends.
Well, oh baby, my hair's on end about you...
Isn't it good to be lost in the wood, isn't it bad so quiet there, in the wood...
Honey love you, honey little, honey funny sunny morning, love you more funny love in the skyline baby.
And I stood very still by the window sill and I wondered for those I love still I cried in my mind where I stand behind the beauty of love's in her eyes...
The angels live inside me: I can feel them smile.
Smash the system with the song!
There's a house with no sound; yes, it's quiet there ... there's not much point in words if there's no-one to share in time.
Death's head belt buckle --- yesterday's dreams --- the transport caf' prophet of doom.
Run through graveyards on a dusty Winter day.
Nothing melts in this cold but Russia on ice is burning a hole.
As we walk through the ashes I whisper your name.
I'm really scared of getting lost in real life so please stop asking me for more.
You can blow out a candle but you can't blow out a fire.
Space is what I need it's what I feed on.
There's no point in direction we cannot even choose a side.
The evening trees moan as if they knew at night I always dream of you.
Cross that bridge to the other side, follow your heart, you can't go wrong.
Marlins come out of the sky and they 'stand her; One my lover we’ll be they're an will sea ewe.
 
token non-prog:
Well, I stand up next to a mountain, and chop it down with the edge of my hand.

My favourites are:

- Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends!
- A flower?
- What you're listening to are ... musicians performing psychodelic music under the influence of a mind-altering chemical called ...
- One of these days I'm gonna cut you into little pieces!
- I get up, I get down

Actually, I started to use similar quotes at the end of each output of one program package I wrote. The user runs my program repeatedly ... the results of the computations are written to a file, and at the end of each file there is a random prog quote! With time I started to add quotes from "prog" literature. Now the difficulty that I am facing is how to write non-ASCII characters into a text file ... if I want to use a quote in French or Swedish ... :)

On Preston Platform, do your soft shoe suffle dance,
Brush away the cigarette ash that's fallen on your pants,
And you sadly wonder if the nurse treats your old man the way she sh-should...
She gave you tea asked for your autograph,
What a laugh...

Some fabulous quotes from my favourite band:

Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, and stars fill my dream

Sisters of the highway bide their time in quiet peace

The dogs of Doom are howlin' more

Then as it was, then again it will be; though the course may change sometimes, rivers always reach the sea

I live for my dream, and a pocketful of gold.

LOL  It's amazing, now that I think about it, that I recognized this from the very first 'cha'.  Whenever this comes out of my stereo, it turns heads.  People think I'm insane.  I just smile and say, 'that's Yes.'

But personally I like:

'SICK feeling, SICK reasoning, SICK! Challenge you, la-la-la-la.' - probably a little-known quote from Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, Howe ('The Order of the Universe).

'Burn their children's laughter! On to hell!' - Yes' 'Gates of Delirium'

'Your salvation's found in a sinner's deed.' - Opeth's 'Deliverance'

There are so many... I should probably stop or I'll just keep typing all day.

"I was thinking about thinking but it really didn't get me very far" - Peter Hammill

"I just want you to know this time" - Riverside

"I am always using the cue sheets, but never the nets never the nets nevertheless Welcome back to the circus" - Marillion's Cinderella Search

"What if the sky is seared with death/what is the point in catching breath/expel it" - Mr Hammill again

I wonder how your pick your quote - by the way it is written or by the way it is sung?

The Who quotes-Cut my hair: "Zoot suit, White jacket with side vents, five inches long
I'm out on the street again and I'm leaping along
Dressed right for a beach fight, but I just can't explain
Why that uncertain feeling, is still here in my brain"
 
Pure and Easy: "There once was a note, pure and easy, Playing so free like a breath rippling by"
 
Sea And Sand:"My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked
Maybe a touch of seersucker with an open neck
I ride a G.S. scooter with my hair cut neat
I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet"

I should also mention, now that the who are on the archives

"MEET the new boss, Same as the old boss"


Actually, The Who aren't on the Archives. 
Doesn't really matter The Who are a great band, and that's a great quote.


I didn't say they weren't. 
My bad, I thought you may have been refering to em as not good or something. sorry peace

"Ils se sont rencontrés dans un cabaret dans l'air
Situé central dans la technosphere
55AH a cherché de l'amour artificiel
le bordel cosmique lui a donné une demoiselle"

Solefald-Omnipolis
Wondrous tune, wondrous lyrics.

And as a non-prog addition:
"in a bar that's always closing
in a world where people shout
I don't want to talk this over
I don't want to talk it out
I was quite impressed until I hit the floor
isn't that what friends are for?
pain looks great on other people
that's what they're for"

Sisters of Mercy-I Was Wrong
The Sisters kick.

" I woke up in vomit and beer,
in a banana bin,
with a soft lass with brown skin,
who bore me seven babies with snappin' black eyes
and beautiful ebony skin.
And here is I with you my daughter,
thirty years, awake and make a seamans eyes, a brown house man's eyes, flow out water, salt water"
 
Captain Beefheart "Orange Claw Hammer"
