Some lyrics I really like
-Bob Dylan, "Sweetheart Like You"
Don't give me money, honey, I don't want it back
you and your pony face and your union jack
well take your local joker and teach him how to act
I swear I was never that way even when I really cracked...
-Bruce Springsteen, "For You"
Well I wouldn't buy no merchandise
And I wouldn't go to war
And I mixed with other colours
But the nurse doesn't care
-David Bowie, "Scream Like a Baby"
How could this so great turn so shitty
Ended up in army crates
and photographs in files, his tiny boat
sparked as he grazed it
-Frank Black, "Motorway to Roswell"
She sends me blue valentines
all the way from philadelphia
to mark the anniversary
of someone that I used to be
and it feels just like there's
a warrant out for my arrest
got me checkin' in my rearview mirrror
Tom Waits, "Blue Valentine"
You know, some people got no choice
And they cant never find a voice
To talk with that they can even call their own
So the first thing that they see
That allows them the right to be
Why they follow it, you know, its called bad luck
Lou Reed, "Street Hassle"
