Words are flowing out like endless rain in to a paper cup, they slither while they pass they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind, possessing and caressing me.
The Beatles- Across The Universe
I can feel the earth begin to move, I hear my needle hit the groove.

Maybe I will never be
all the thing that I wanna be
now is not time to cry
nows the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We'll see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
Oasis - Live Forever 1994

Neat idea - BD - Like A Rolling Stone
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal
How does it feel?
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

There's a line later in the song which sounds like; " When you're in love with a beautiful woman, you want your ride".
When I found out that it was actually "You watch her eyes" I was most disappointed.

Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head but dead on your feet
Well another crazy day
You'll drink the night away and forget about everything

Everyone knows it immediately.
However, well kent doesn't necessarily mean iconic, but that's a subject for another thread.

Libraries gave us power.
Then work came and made us free
What price now for a shallow piece of dignity?

I can give you life, I can take it away.
Banquet - Bloc Party
Design for Life qualifies as iconic imo, Bloc Party maybr not so much but they are great lyrics.

I'd say a song performed at Woodstock in 1969 or the first mainstream rock and roll song are contenders.
