"Squeeze my lemon till the juice runs down my leg." ~ The Lemon Song (Page/Plant)

Man creates the god
and the god destroys the man
Betrayed by their own invention
the shepherd butches the lamb
A lion at the head of an army
of sheep when comes time to feed
Like Saturn devoured his children
they’re consumed by belief

[Chorus:]
I am the chosen one
and I hold the key
Behold the prodigal son
This good I do lives long after me
Let iconoclasm set you free

Christ is the same yesterday
and today, forever a lie
They concocted the heavens
to keep all the puppets in line
Narcotic, addictive desire
to believe they won’t go to hell
A dog that has bitten its master
that it once knew so well

[Chorus]

Figment of imagination
Oracle of ignorance
Corrupter of society
killer of reason and innocence
An object of man’s creation
made to fill the hole inside
But that abyss has only been opened wide

Wolves they guard the flock
And they slaughter the sick and the weak
Sorrow is all that they find
When salvation is all that they seek
The truth is the greatest lord
where no fool commands the wise
Religion ten times undone
no room for compromise

[Chorus]

One of these days, the ground will drop out from beneath your feet
One of these days, your heart will stop and play it's final beat
One of these days, the clocks will stop and time won't mean a thing
One of these days, their bombs will drop and silence everything
But it's alright, yeah it's alright, said it's alright
Easy for you to say
Your heart has never been broken
Your pride has never been stolen
Not yet, not yet, one of these days
I bet your heart 'll be broken
I bet your pride 'll be stolen
I'll bet, I'll bet, I'll bet, I'll bet
One of these days, one of these days
One of these days, your eyes will close and pain will disappear
One of these days, you will forget to hope and learn to fear
But it's alright, yeah it's alright, said it's alright
Easy for you to say
Your heart has never been broken
Your pride has never been stolen
Not yet, not yet, one of these days
I bet your heart 'll be broken
I bet your pride 'll be stolen
I'll bet, I'll bet, I'll bet, I'll bet
One of these days, one of these days
But it's alright, yeah it's alright, said it's alright
Yeah it's alright
Don't say it's alright, don't say it's alright
Don't say it's alright
One of these days your heart will stop and play it's final beat
But it's alright, easy for you to say
Your heart has never been broken
Your pride has never been stolen
Not yet, not yet, one of these days
I bet your heart will be broken
I bet your pride will be stolen
I'll bet, I'll bet, I'll bet, I'll bet
One of these days
One of these days
One of these days

Who is crying now by Journey. Really the guitar solo at the end is my favorite but there are no words.

Mama I've just killed a man......

My favorite poet / philosopher John Lennon.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can

Just for starters,

And the last one to kiss is the first to shoot

• Leon Russell

You ain't nowhere 'till you can pay your own way back

• Robert Hunter

The one thing we need is a left-hand monkey wrench

If you ain't got nothing, you ain't got nothing to lose

Louie, Louie. We gotta go.

Don't tell me you don't know what love is
When you're old enough to know better
When you find strange hands in your sweater
When your dreamboat turns out to be a footnote
I'm a man with a mission on two or three editions.

Many, this always makes me smile:

"Nights we spent out of control
Like two flags wrapped around a pole"

And this always makes me sad:

"Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through"

You can clip my wings, shackle and chain me
Back straight standing tall a child of God, n' I'm, Free!
Spit in my face, hold me down
I'm a keep my feet firm to the ground, cause I'm, Free!

--- "Free" by Pharoahe Monch

Naive melody.favourite line...I'm just an animal looking for a home....

This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)
Talking Heads

Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me around
I feel numb, born with a weak heart
I guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground, head in the sky
It's okay, I know nothing's wrong, nothing
Oh! I got plenty of time
Oh! You got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money, always for love
Cover up and say goodnight, say goodnight
Home, is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home, she lifted up her wings
I guess that this must be the place
I can't tell one from the other
I find you, or you find me?
There was a time before we were born
If someone asks, this is where I'll be, where I'll be oh!
We drift in and out
Oh! Sing into my mouth
Out of all those kinds of people
You got a face with a view
I'm just an animal looking for a home and
Share the same space for a minute or two
And you love me till my heart stops
Love me till I'm dead
Eyes that light up
Eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots
Hit me on the head I got ooh!

The lyrics to Bron Yr Aur by Led Zeppelin. YouTube it to hear them if you don't know the song.

I feel so unsure, as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes, calls to mind the silver screen, and all it's sad goodbyes

I'm never gonna dance again, guilty feet ain't got no rythym, though it's easy to pretend, I know you're not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend, wasted chance that I've been given

So I'm never gonna dance again, the way I danced with you

Time can never mend, the careless whispers of a good friend, to the heart and mind, ignorance is kind, there's no comfort in the truth, pain is all you'll find

I'm never gonna dance again, guilty feet ain't got no rythym, though it's easy to pretend, I know you're not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend, wasted chance that I've been given

So I'm never gonna dance again, the way I danced with you

Tonight the music seems so loud, I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way, we'd hurt each other with the things we want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
Now who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay.....

"Smile" by Descendents

Toil away
And at the end of the day
You can look back
On a game well played

Sung to the tune of "I Love a Parade." (Note: the french word for paper is papier, prounced "pop yay." ) These lyrics come from my SIP, or "Shameless Inner Poet."

I love a bidet.
It cleans up my ass
Much better than grass
Or even papier.
I love a bidet.
It cleans up my poo,
Dingleberries too,
Hip, Hip Horray!
I have no brown streaks on my underwear.
And I don't smell worse than a grizzly bear.
My wife doesn't run screaming from the bed.
And she doesn't barf while she's giving me head.
The dogs to not sniff my butt all day long.
And that is why I'm singing this song:
Oh, I love a bidet.

Way too innumerable to ever list. So these will be random examples from a few of my favorite lyricists:

Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
Come in, she said, I'll give ya
Shelter from the storm
-Bob Dylan

I had the shit till it all got smoked
I kept the promise till the vow got broke
I had to drink from the lovin' cup
I stood on the banks till the river rose up
I saw the bride in her wedding gown
I was in the house when the house burned down
-Warren Zevon

Peter said to Paul
You know all those words we wrote
Are just the rules of the game
and the rules are the first to go...
But now talking to God
Is Laurel, begging Hardy for a gun
I got a girl in the war man,
I wonder what it is we done
-Josh Ritter

(You have no idea how hard it is to pick one example from those 3 artists)

Additionally, Leonard Cohens Hallelujah, and especially the verse that was only sung in Jeff Buckleys version:

Well maybe theres a god above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.

Honorable mentions to John Prine, Loudon Wainwright III, Paul Simon, and Randy Newman who all wrote some hilarious and heartwrenching phrases. I don't even have time to decide on some of the greatest examples because they were all so prolific.

She’ll rise as the people sleep
Only the travelers see her
To those who rise with the noon day sun
She is a closed mystery
Maybe she is a morning glory
Lost in a tangle of vines

Rose
Liz’s Wright

I am the nexxus one I want more life fucker I ain't done.

White Zombie: More human than human

Gone are the days we stopped to decide where we should go, we just ride.
Robert Hunter

I found myself dreaming
In silver and gold
Like a scene from a movie
That every broken heart knows

We were walking on moonlight
And you pulled me close
Split second and you disappeared
And then I was all alone

I woke up in tears
With you by my side
A breath of relief
And I realized
No, we're not promised tomorrow

So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you
And I'm gonna hold you like I'm saying goodbye
Wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted
'Cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time

So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you

In the blink of an eye
Just a whisper of smoke
You could lose everything
The truth is you never know

So I'll kiss you longer baby
Any chance that I get
I'll make…

I'll just stick to a few from my favorite band. Otherwise I'll be thinking about an overall 'favorite' all night.

"Sometimes all I really want to feel is loved,
Sometimes I'm angry that I feel so angry.

Sometimes my feelings get in the way
Of what I really feel I needed to say."
~Modest Mouse, "Edit The Sad Parts"

"I might
Disintegrate into the thin air,
If you'd like.
I'm not
The dark center of the universe
Like you thought.

Well, it took a lot of work to be the ass that I am,
And I'm real damn sure that anyone can,
Equally, easily, fuck you over.
Well, died sayin' something, but didn't mean it,
Everyone's life ends, but no one ever completes it.
Dry or wet ice, they both melt
And you're equally cheated."
~Modest Mouse, "Dark Center Of The Universe"

"The way we feel about what we do is by who has watched us, so...

Awe, how'd we get here?
Equal parts of what we do, we don't--
We don't remember...
We were just born here, though.
Oh what's the bother?
Equal parts of what you do, you don't!
We don't remember...
We were just born here.

I feel so anxious, mostly all of the time.
If there's some point to this, then which one is mine?"
~Modest Mouse, "Pups To Dust"

Love never came easily to me
There were no fish swimming in my sea
