Props for Pink Floyd, but there are so many better ones!
Comfortably Numb, classic quotes. I like Learning to Fly, though. "Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earthbound misfit, I."
Also, Almost Lover by A Fine Frenzy. Entire song is lyrical gold, but
I cannot go to the ocean. I cannot drive the streets at night. I cannot wake up in the morning without you on my mind. So you're gone, and I'm haunted, and I bet you are just fine. Did I make it that easy to walk right in and out of my life? Goodbye, my almost lover. Goodbye, my hopeless dream. I'm trying not to think about you. Can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance. My back is turned on you. I should've known you'd bring me heartache. Almost lovers always do.

I think better is a personal preference. The whole of Dark Side gets me more often than not. The idea of the Wall gets me more than it's songs.
I also find Rush to be fantastic for this sort of thing.
Cast in this unlikely role,
Ill-equipped to act,
With insufficient tact,
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact.
...
I have no heart to lie,
I can't pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend.
