She pours the milk into the cats saucer, I'm John Wayne as I'm walking towards her, she'd like to dance but not this minute, she's the fish I'd like to fillet. Squeeze

I believe I already offered this one, but it bears repeating, especially as my bother-in-law has just been diagnosed with stage four liver cancer, with six months to live. From the hillbilly genius Hank Williams: "No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this wor...urld alive" Have truer worlds ever been spoken?! |

Being a huge Blues fan, this is from Albert Collins, "Too Many Dirty Dishes"... I cleaned your dirty dishes, How much more am I supposed to take?

It was a normal date with my girlfriend Sue Blond hair, blue eyes and five foot two The night was cold, the stars were bright From over her shoulder came a great light We parked the car down by three mile point The top was down we were really going I heard her cry, the reactor flaired She grew and grew I freaked and stared Attack of the fifty foot woman Our love was at an end All she did to get her kicks was step on all the men.

Well I woke up this morning In a, In a cloud of despair I ran my hand across my head And pulled out a pile of worried hair I went to my physician Who was buried in his thoughts He said, "Son, you've been reading too much Elephant Talk" (Chit-chat) He said, "The thing about depression is, well, you just can't let it get you down. You have to see the world for what it is: a circus full of freaks and clowns and you'll never please everybody, it's a well established fact." He said, "I recommend a fifth of Jack and a bottle of Prozac" What can you give a man Who has everything? Can you give him back his edge? Can you make him want to sing? No, you can only take from him, and there's nothing he can do. I've got the "driving me to drink and eat a bottle of Prozac" blues. Well, I woke up this morning and I shaved off my head. By the time I realized what I had done, I was already dead I went to see the gatekeeper who was standing by Heaven's door He said, "I hope you brought a good supply of... you know" (Oh, don't worry) Prozac Blues by King Crimson |
I live my life with lyrics from Sting. They're the closest to Shape Of My Heart! Some would say I was a lost man in a lost world You could say I lost my faith in the people on TV You could say I'd lost my belief in our politicians They all seemed like game show hosts to me If I ever lose my faith in you There'd be nothing left for me to do |
Your mention of the "southern man don't need him around anyhow" reminds me that "your Cadillac has got a wheel in the ditch and a wheel on the track" is a great line. One of my all-time favorites is the last part of "Positively 4th Street," a classic put-down: Yes, I wish that for just one time You could stand inside my shoes You'd know what a drag it is To see you |
Lots of good ones already. I have trouble picking one. I love song lyrics. Here's some for me that for some reason jumped right to memory: "The paper holds their folded faces to the floor And every day the paper boy brings more." "I feel the earth move under my feet, I see the sky tumbling down." "At last, my love has come along." "Now there's girls melting on the beach And they're so fine but so out of reach Cause I'm stuck in traffic, down here on 53rd Street" "The first time ever I saw your face" "They're just a bunch of clowns, don't let 'em grind ya' down." "'You shook me all night long." "Lord, what have I ever done, to deserve even one, of the pleasures I've known." "See him wasted on the sidewalk, in his jacket and his jeans, wearing his misfortune like a smile." "A southern man don't need him around anyhow." "Hey teacher! I got my pencil, give me something to write on, man!" "School's out forever." "Two inches of water and a lonely ditch, was a grave for Ira Hayes." |

Sheesh can not limit this to one and I tend to think of it more in verses. Jet Airliner Touchin' down in New England town Feel the heat comin' down I've got to keep on keepin' on You know the big wheel keeps on spinnin' around And I'm goin' with some hesitation You know that I can surely see That I don't want to get caught up in any of that Funky shit goin' down in the city Motorcycle Drive-by I don't believe you, you're so serene Careening through the universe Your axis on a tilt, you're guiltless and free I hope you take a piece of me with you And there's things I'd like to do That you don't believe in I would like to build something But you never see it happen And there's this burning Like there's always been I've never been so alone And I've, I've never been so alive |
