3. Billy Bragg:
She said "Do these seats fold down?"
I said "If you pull that handle ..."

I could go on posting Zappa lyrics all day, since almost all of his were whacked out (and pretty funny too). I am assuming you are looking for unusual lyrics, based on what you posted. Here are some from "Why Does It Hurt When I Pee?":

Why does it hurt when I pee?
Why does it hurt when I pee?
I dont want no doctor
To stick no needle in me
Why does it hurt when I pee?
I got it from the toilet seat
I got it from the toilet seat
It jumped right up
n grabbed my meat
Got it from the toilet seat
My balls feel like a pair of maracas
My balls feel like a pair of maracas
Oh God I probably got the
Gon-o-ka-ka-khackus!
My balls feel like a pair of maracas
Ai-ee-ai-ee-ahhhh!
Why does it
Why does it
Why does it
Why does it hurt...when i
Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?

Dire Straits, Industrial Disease

Two men say they're Jesus. One of them must be wrong.

"if you can hear a piano fall, you can hear me coming down the hall." Jack White from 'Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground.' a little more mainstream than the rest of the posts, but for some reason i love that line.

4: Procrol Harum
One more toast to greet the dawn
The wine and dine have danced till dawn
Where's my continental bride
Well continental slip and slide?
Early morning pinch and bite -
(these French girls really love to fight)

5: Blue Oyster Cult
While outside on the turnpike
They got this new hit tune
Where thrills become as cheap as gas
And gas as cheap as thrills

from Wilco's 'Handshake Drugs'

i looked like someone i used to know
i felt all right
and if i ever was myself
i wasnt that night

I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then...

6: Ten Years After
Once there was a time I was hungry
And I'd find my food in some bin
But I'd never, never sell my guitar
'Cause that would, darling, that would be a sin

7: Patti Smith
She was lying really still
like a painting of a vase

8: Joey Ramone (actually a song title an line)
Every time I eat vegatables it makes me think of you

Cowboy Mouth:

She had to go, and I don't care what she does
She had to go, like she never was
And I let her go, simply because
She didn't know, who Joe Strummer was

Paralyzed from the eyes down.
Screaming Silently.
Can I get through or go around.
This Feeling inside of me.

Genesis - The Battle Of Epping Forest

Amidst the battle roar,
accountants keep the score: 10-4.
They've never been alone, after getting a radiophone.
The bluebells are ringing for Sweetmeal Sam, real ham,
handing out bread and jam just like any picnic

I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then...

The corollary of that is....

"They tried to put me in a suit and a tie,
I said, "no way man, I'd rather die...."

ooops....one of mine, but what the hell, I meant it then, and it still holds true.....

"And it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll, from the Liverpool Docks to the Hollywood Bowl" - All The Way From Memphis, Mott The Hoople.

"You're Gemini, and I don't know which one I like the most...." Fireball, Deep Purple.
