Most memorable music lyrics

[Deputy Nutz]

Here is a Gary Allen song. It was kinda and anthem song for my buddy and me a year or two before I got married. I ain't the greatest of persons, but I think I am all right.

You know just the other morning,
i was hanging around in my house,
i had that old book with pictures,
of madonna naked,
and i was checking it out,
well just then a friend of mine came to the door,
she said she never picked me for a scum-bag before,
said she didn't never wanna see me no more,
and i still, don't know why,

i think i'm an alright guy,
i think i'm an alright guy,
well i just wanna live, until i gotta die,
i kno i ain't perfect,
but God knows, i try,
think i'm an alright guy,
i think i'm alright

Well, maybe I'm dirty,
And sometimes I like to get stoned.
Ain't like I'm foolin' with my Intern,
While I'm talkin' on the phone.
well, i know i get wild, and i know i get drunk,
it's not like i got a bunch of bodies in my trunk,
my old man used to call me a no good punk,
and i still don't know why,

i think i'm an alright guy,
i think i'm an alright guy,
well i just wanna live, until i gotta die,
i kno i ain't perfect,
but God knows, i try,
think i'm an alright guy,
i think i'm alright

you know, just the other night,
the cops pulled me over outside the bar,
well they turned on their lights,
and they ordered me out of my car,
man, i was only kidding when i called them a coupla dicks,
but still they made me the stupid human tricks,
now i'm stuck in this jail,
with a bunch of dumb hicks, and i still don't know why,


i think i'm an alright guy,
i think i'm an alright guy,
well i just wanna live, until i gotta die,
i kno i ain't perfect,
but God knows, i try,
think i'm an alright guy,
i think i'm alright

you know, i think i'm an alright guy,
i think i'm alright

Watch out where the huskies go
and don't you eat that yellow snow,

and don't you eat that yellow snow.

Moving to Montana soon,
going to be a dental floss tycoon.



sorry, but Frank Zappa has been in my brain since 1966.

Ticking away
the moments that make up a dull day
You Fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town,
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way..

Kentucky Avenue--Tom Waits

eddie grace's buick got 4 bullet holes in the side
charlie delisle sittin at the top of an avocado tree
mrs storm'll stab you with a steak knife if you step on her lawn
i got a half pack of lucky strikes, man, come along with me
lets fill our pockets with macadamia nuts
then go over to bobby goodmanson's and jump off the roof
hilda plays strip poker and her mama's across the street
joey navinski says she put her tongue in his mouth
dicky faulkner's got a switchblade and some gooseneck risers
that eucalyptus is a hunchback there's a wind up from the south
let me tie you up with kite string and i'll show you the scabs on my knees
watch out for the broken glass, put your shoes and socks on
and come along with me
lets follow that fire truck--i think your house is burnin' down
then go down to the hobo jungle and kill some rattlesnakes with a trowel
then we'll break all the windows in the old anderson place
and steal a bunch of boysenberrys and we'll smear 'em on our face
i'll get a dollar from my mama's purse and buy you that skull and crossbones ring
and you can wear it around your neck on an old piece of string
then we'll spit on ronnie arnold and flip him the bird
and slash the tires on the school bus, now don't say a word
i'll take a rusty nail and scratch your initials on my arm
and i'll show you how to sneak up on the roof of the drugstore
I'll take the spokes from your wheelchair and a magpie's wings
and tie 'em to your shoulders and your feet
i'll steal a hacksaw from my dad, cut the braces off your legs
and we'll bury them tonight out in the cornfield
just put a church key in your pocket
we'll hop that freight train in the hall
and we'll slide down the drain all the way to new orleans in the fall

We Care A Lot

We care a lot about disasters, fires, floods and killer bees
We care a lot about the NASA shuttle falling in the sea
We care a lot about starvation and the food that Live Aid bought
We care a lot about disease, baby Rock, Hudson, rock, yeah!

We care a lot about the gamblers and the pushers and the geeks
We care a lot about the crack and smack and whack that hits the street
We care a lot about the welfare of all the boys and girls
We care a lot about you people cause we're out to save the world

YEAH!

And it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it

We care a lot about the army navy air force and marines
We care a lot about the SF, NY and LAPD
We care a lot about you people, about your guns
about the wars you're fighting gee that looks like fun

We care a lot about the Garbage Pail Kids, they never lie
We care a lot about Transformers cause there's more than meets the eye

We care a lot about the little things, the bigger things we top
We care a lot about you people yeah you bet we care a lot,

Well, its a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
And it's a dirty song but someone's gotta sing it

Just a little cynical tonite, there.
A song I always liked to play, when on vacation, on the beach, in Cancun.
Song's a bit topical, a bit dated.
But really, have things changed so much?

Zig, this outta make you smile. From CNN.com today...

It's number 'One' on the list of top lyrics
U2 line beats out bits from Smiths, Nirvana

LONDON, England (AP) -- The Irish band U2 has given Britain its favorite song lyric, according to a survey released Monday.

The line "One life, with each other, sisters, brothers" from the 1992 song "One" topped a poll conducted by music channel VH1.

Runner-up was the downbeat "So you go and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, and you go home, and you cry, and you want to die" from The Smiths' "How Soon is Now."

A line from Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" -- "I feel stupid and contagious, here we are now, entertain us" -- came third. Bob Marley's "Redemption Song" and Coldplay's "Yellow" took fourth and fifth places.

The top 10 was a mix of the affirmative and the acerbic, ranging from Robbie Williams' uplifting "Angels" -- "And through it all she offers me protection, a lot of love and affection, whether I'm right or wrong" -- to Radiohead's sour "Creep."

More than 13,000 people participated in the poll on the station's Web site, choosing from a list of 100 lyrics selected by music industry figures.

It did make me smile. It is a favorite of mine.

[Joemailman]

In the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need
When the pool of tears beneath my feet flood every newborn seed
There's a dyin' voice within me reaching out somewhere,
Toiling in the danger and in the morals of despair.

Don't have the inclination to look back on any mistake,
Like Cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break.
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand
In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.

Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear,
Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good cheer.
The sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way
To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay.

I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame
And every time I pass that way I always hear my name.
Then onward in my journey I come to understand
That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand.

I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night
In the violence of a summer's dream, in the chill of a wintry light,
In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space,
In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face.

I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand.

I've got big balls
I've got big balls
They're such big balls
And they're dirty big balls
And he's got big balls
And she's got big balls
But we've got the biggest balls of them all

And my balls are always bouncing

On a more serious note -

The Doors - Hello, I Love You

Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
She's walking down the street
Blind to every eye she meets
Do you think you'll be the guy
To make the queen of the angels sigh?
Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
She holds her head so high
Like a statue in the sky
Her arms are wicked, and her legs are long
When she moves my brain screams out this song
Sidewalk crouches at her feet
Like a dog that begs for something sweet
Do you hope to make her see, you fool?
Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel?
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello
I want you
Hello
I need my baby
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello

Yeah, Bob Dylan rulez!!!!

--Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)

You say you love me
And you're thinkin' of me,
But you know you could be wrong.
You say you told me
That you wanna hold me,
But you know you're not that strong.
I just can't do what I done before,
I just can't beg you any more.
I'm gonna let you pass
And I'll go last.
Then time will tell just who fell
And who's been left behind,
When you go your way and I go mine.

You say you disturb me
And you don't deserve me,
But you know sometimes you lie.
You say you're shakin'
And you're always achin',
But you know how hard you try.
Sometimes it gets so hard to care,
It can't be this way ev'rywhere.
And I'm gonna let you pass,
Yes, and I'll go last.
Then time will tell just who fell
And who's been left behind,
When you go your way and I go mine.

The judge, he holds a grudge,
He's gonna call on you.
But he's badly built
And he walks on stilts,
Watch out he don't fall on you.

You say you're sorry
For tellin' stories
That you know I believe are true.
You say ya got some
Other kinda lover
And yes, I believe you do.
You say my kisses are not like his,
But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
I'm just gonna let you pass,
Yes, and I'll go last.
Then time will tell who fell
And who's been left behind,
When you go your way and I go mine.

[mraynrand]

Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd a young child's fragile eggshell mind
-Doors

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice,
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose free will.
-Rush

Down to Seeds And Stems Again Blues - Commander Cody


I'm sittin alone, Saturday night, watching the Late Late Show.
A bottle of wine, some cigarettes, I got no place to go.
Well, I saw your other man today; he was wearing my brand new shoes,
And I'm down to seeds and stems again, too.

Well, I met my old friend Bob today from up in Bowling Green;
He had the prettiest little gal that I'd ever seen.
But I couldn't hide my tears at all, cause she looked just like you,
And I'm down to seeds and stems again, too.

Now everybody tells me there's other ways to get high.
They don't seem to understand I'm too far gone to try.
Now these lonely memories, they're all I can't lose,
And I'm down to seeds and stems again, too.

Well my dog died just yesterday and left me all alone.
The finance company dropped by today and repossessed my home.
That's just a drop in the bucket compared to losing you,
And I'm down to seeds and stems again, too.

Got the Down to Seeds an Stems again Blues



Truly one of the greatest songs ever written

"Sam Stone" by John Prine

Sam Stone came home,
To his wife and family
After serving in the conflict overseas.
And the time that he served,
Had shattered all his nerves,
And left a little shrapnel in his knee.
But the morphine eased the pain,
And the grass grew round his brain,
And gave him all the confidence he lacked,
With a Pur ple Heart and a monkey on his back.

There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes,
Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose.
Little pitchers have big ears,
Don't stop to count the years,
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios.
Mmm....

Sam Stone's welcome home
Didn't last too long.
He went to work when he'd spent his last dime
And Sammy took to stealing
When he got that empty feeling
For a hundred dollar habit without overtime.
And the gold rolled through his veins
Like a thousand railroad trains,
And eased his mind in the hours that he chose,
While the kids ran around wearin' other peoples' clothes...

Sam Stone was alone
When he popped his last balloon
Climbing walls while sitting in a chair
Well, he played his last request
While the room smelled just like death
With an overdose hovering in the air
But life had lost its fun
And there was nothing to be done
But trade his house that he bought on the G, I. Bill
For a flag draped casket on a local heroes' hill

Hey Harv,

Going to see any of the Prine shows coming up in May?

Some Humans Ain't Human
© John Prine

Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm

Some humans ain't human
Some people ain't kind
You open up their hearts
And here's what you'll find
A few frozen pizzas
Some ice cubes with hair
A broken Popsicle
You don't want to go there

Some humans ain't human
Though they walk like we do
They live and they breathe
Just to turn the old screw
They screw you when you're sleeping
They try to screw you blind
Some humans ain't human
Some people ain't kind

You might go to church
And sit down in a pew
Those humans who ain't human
Could be sittin' right next to you
They talk about your family
They talk about your clothes
When they don't know their own ass
From their own elbows

Jealousy and stupidity
Don't equal harmony
Jealousy and stupidity
Don't equal harmony

Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm

Spoken:
Have you ever noticed
When you're feeling really good
There's always a pigeon
That'll come shit on your hood

Or you're feeling your freedom
And the world's off your back
Some cowboy from Texas
Starts his own war in Iraq

Some humans ain't human
Some people ain't kind
They lie through their teeth
With their head up their behind
You open up their hearts
And here's what you'll find
Some humans ain't human
Some people ain't kind

Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm

I'm nostalgic about the Beatles song "Why Don't We Do It In the Road?'

My 25th wedding anniversary is coming up May 23rd.

Do you think I should approach my wife with "Why Don't We Do It In The Road?" to spice up our marriage?

[MJZiggy]

Congrats, OPF, I haven't even hit 10 yet. You could try doing it in the road, hope you don't live on a busy street. I'm hoping for my 25th to be doing it in, say Tahiti or Italy, or London, or Oahu (you get the idea).
