Memorable song lyrics

He best go run and hide

Daddy's got a new

Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your mouth
Blowing down the backroads headin’ south
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth

You’re an idiot, babe
It’s a wonder that you still know how to breathe

Bob Dylan

[ptrthgr8]

Easy-peasy.

And then some awesome German metal... Accept: Balls to the Wall

Balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
You'll get your balls to the wall, man

Let's plug a bomb in everyone's arse
If they don't keep us alive, we're gonna fight for the right

Pearl Jam - Light Years

(For a friend who died from cancer)

i've used hammers made out of wood

i have played games with pieces and rules

i undeciphered tricks at the bar

but now you're gone, i haven't figured out why

i've come up with riddles and jokes about war

i've figured out numbers and what they're for

i've understood feelings and i've understood words

but how could you be taken away?

and wherever you've gone

and wherever we might go

it don't seem fair...today just disappeared

your light's reflected now, reflected from afar

we were but stones, your light made us stars

with heavy breath, awakened regrets

back pages and days alone that could have been spent, together..

but we were miles apart

every inch between us becomes light years now

no time to be void or save up on life

you got to spend it all..

and wherever you've gone

and wherever we might go

it don't seem fair...you seem to like it here

your light's reflected now, reflected from afar

we were but stones, your light made us stars

and wherever you've gone

and wherever we might go

it don't seem fair...today just disappeared

your light's reflected now, reflected from afar

we were but stones, your light made us stars

[leftimatic]

I like the way

you walk around

in the sun

acting like a queen

and I get mesmerized

by the light

that comes

shining through your hair

cause you've got soul babe

ain't no doubt about it

you've got moves

that turn me inside out

Beginning lines to a song I wrote for my wife on our wedding day.

[TheLiquidGator]

The peddler now speaks to the countess who’s pretending to care for him
Sayin’, “Name me someone that’s not a parasite and I’ll go out and say a prayer for him”
But like Louise always says
“Ya can’t look at much, can ya man?”
As she, herself, prepares for him
And Madonna, she still has not showed
We see this empty cage now corrode
Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
The fiddler, he now steps to the road
He writes ev’rything’s been returned which was owed
On the back of the fish truck that loads
While my conscience explodes
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain

Bob Dylan

[rodrigodeanda]

[Habanos2000]

Finished with my woman cause she couldn't help me with my mind.

People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time.

Paranoid - Black Sabbath

[cdfarrar]

Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars
Oak tree you're in my way
There's too much coke and too much smoke
Look what's going on inside you

Angel of darkness is upon you
Stuck a needle in your arm
So take another toke, have a blow for your nose
And one more drink fool, will drown you

Now they call you Prince Charming
Can't speak a word when you're full of 'ludes
Say you'll be all right come tomorrow
But tomorrow might not be here for you

One little problem that confronts you
Got a monkey on your back
Just one more fix, Lord might do the trick
One hell of a price for you to get your kicks

"That Smell" ~ Lynyrd Skynyrd

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

The bubble headed bleach blonde comes on at five,

she can tell you about the plane crash with a gleam in her eye.

It's interesting when people die, gives us dirty laundry.

- Don Henley ~ Dirty Laundry

[MrGTO]

I live in hotels, tear out the walls

I have accountants pay for it all.

This is the coastal town

That they forgot to close down

Come Armageddon come

Liquor and Guns

The sign says quite plain

Somehow life goes on

in a place

So insane

Let me eat when I'm hungry
Let me drink when I'm dry
Two dollars when I'm hard up
Religion when I die

[canadianbeaver]

We've been together so long
I hope it wasn't just the drugs
What happened to the energy we had
The morning glories and the rodeo hugs

- Joan Osbourne

Dear Abbey, Dear Abbey,

You won't believe this

But my stomach makes noise whenever I kiss

We were sittin' in the back seat

Just shooting the breeze

With her hair up in curlers and her pants to her knees.

Signed, Noise maker.

- John Prine

Just go out for a breath of air,
And you'll be ready for medicare.
The city streets are really quite a thrill.
If the hoods don't get you, the monoxide will.

-Tom Lehrer

[Coolio]

While you are wasting your time on your enemies

Engulfed in a fever of spite

Beyond your tunnel vision reality fades

Like shadows into the night

While you are wasting your time on your enemies

Engulfed in a fever of spite

And one of my all time favorites: from "Mama Tried"

And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
No one could steer me right but mama tried, mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading, I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried
