How about the Sounds of Silence? its chockFULL of couplets:
Hello Darkness My Old Friend
Ive come to talk with you again
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"

Don't ask me what I think of you,
I might not give the answer that you want me to.

I know, I had to go and listen to them just after seeing the couplet. Just those two lines and immediately the guitar at the beginning of the song went through my head, along with all of the memories from the time in my life when I listened to the Smiths incessantly.

Great choice of philosophy-embodying couplet!

From Dar William's "Iowa"

Way back where I come from we never mean to bother
We never make our passions other people's concerns
And we walk in a world of safe people and at night
we go into our houses, and burn....

Here are a few from one of my favorite Dylan tunes, Chimes Of Freedom:

Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight
Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight

Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless, seeking trail
For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale

Tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed
For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones an' worse

I watched you die, I heard you cry everynight in your sleep
I was so young you should have known better than to lean on me

That was my life up until about 3 months ago.

I'm happy for you that it is no longer. I can symapthize. That entire song IS my life. I actually got choked up the first time I heard it.

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I think I just veered WAY off topic. Sorry.
