"...I showed up late one night with a neon light for a visa..."

The Who, You better you bet.

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?!

"Reaching fir the sky, churning up the ground."
Bad Company - Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy
 
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 
"...The word was comin’ down, down on Lonely Street.
That the bad man was a dead man if he crossed my trail.
Every night I’d walk up and down this Lonely Street.
I get stinkin’ drunk, and always in jail.
One night they threw me in with a man they called the mangler, he was caught on the street makin’ some old whore.
I remember he was quite proud of that,,,So half-crazed I shot him,
And I cried in the blood on that jailhouse floor..."
