Okay, this is not a list, but what about "I'm cloudbusting,Daddy?"- well 
it really means something when you have lost your father when you were 
young,and you see yourself as carrying on some kind of tradition because 
he no longer can- I'm a mess every time I hear that line. Oh, and the 
spoken part in Suspended in Gaffa where it sounds like she's talking in 
her sleep, and she goes, "I'm scared of the changes"? Then there's that 
wonderful bass break- yes Bad News fans, a bass break, just like in 
"Pretty Woman"- after the refrain in "Never be Mine". And I think the 
most directly emotional delivery of any line in the whole KaTe ouvre is 
near the end of "You're the One" where she really seems at the end of her 
tether, she has lapsed into an uncharacteristic quotation of "A Whiter 
Shade of Pale", and then cuts into that, breaking the whole structure of 
the verse by finishing it off halfway through with "Just forget it all 
right!"
Okay I guess it is a kind of list- and could get a lot longer ...
