Well I stepped onto the platform.
The man gave me the news.
He said you must be joking son.
Where did you get those shoes.

Steeley Dan- Pretzel Logic

 

[lomo]

I am he as you are me and we are all together.

Last night, cross the alley.
There was a poundin' on the wall.
Must a been Don Pasquale makin' a 2AM booty call.

Bob Dylan - Cry Awhile

Think I'll take a drive to Beverly Hills just before dawn, and knock all the Jockey's off the rich peoples lawns, and before they wake up...I'll be gone

Be knockin the jockey's off the lawn

I whipped off her bloomers and I stiffened my thumb and applied rotation on her sugar plumb.

-Frank Zappa

 

[Bassgeer]

Please tell us a story of oceans and skies
Let's imagine this beautiful paradise before us, rise
Now open your eyes
Watching this land
Once majestic and grand
Still I can't feel the truth in my hand
I keep spreading this bad disease
And fall down on my knees
Because I'm here to confess
And I'm sorry goddess, please!
But she's quiet today
Silent as if to say;
Fly away!

- Wiseman by Seventh Wonder

 

[bluesblaster]

I whipped off her bloomers and I stiffened my thumb and applied rotation on her sugar plumb.

-Frank Zappa

Ah, sheer poetry

Hot dog and a shake...that's what I'm hungry for.

Welcome to the jungle we've got fun and games
We got everything you want honey, we know the names
We are the people that can find whatever you may need
If you got the money honey we got your disease

[Chorus]
In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your knnn knne knees, knees
I want to watch you bleed

Welcome to the jungle we take it day by day
If you want it you're gonna bleed but it's the price to pay
And you're a very sexy girl that's very hard to please
You can taste the bright lights but you won't get there for free
In the jungle welcome to the jungle
Feel my, my, my serpentine
Ooh, I want to hear you scream

Welcome to the jungle it gets worse here every day
Ya learn to live like an animal in the jungle where we play
If you hunger for what you see you'll take it eventually
You can have everything you want but you better not take it from me

[Chorus]

And when you're high you never ever want to come down
So down, so down, so down, yeah

G&R

 

[Yogi Bear]

Some off the top of my head...


I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless,but not for long
~Gorillaz

He's not concerned with yesterday
He knows constant change is here today
He's noble enough to know what's right
But weak enough not to choose it
He's wise enough to win the world
But fool enough to lose it
He's a New World Man
~Neil Peart

My karma tells me
You've been screwed again.
If you let them do it to you
You've got yourself to blame.
It's you who feels the pain
It's you that feels ashamed.
~The Who

'Wish I didn't know now, what i didn't know then'

 

[PlussBassist]

Are you such a dreamer to put the world to rights?
I'll stay home forever, where two and two always makes up five.

Radiohead - 2+2=5

 

[FromTheBassMent]

Well I have no single favorite. But this popped to mind cuz I was listening to this cd on the way into work:


Before they put me to work in a government camp
Before they do my face up like a corpse and say "get up and dance"
Before the beast comes looking for last year's rent

I would like to abuse my lungs
Smoke everything inside with every girl I've ever loved
Ride around my wreckage on a horse knee-deep in blood
Look out Hollywood, here I come

Father John Misty - "Fun Times In Babylon"

(all of this guy's lyrics are just killer....)

 

[Joedog]

If heartaches were nickles, I'd be the richest man alive.........

If broken dreams were limozines, I could take you for a ride.....

Joe Bonamassa

 

[VitalSigns]

Too many to post. Lately, a lot of Mumford & Sons.

"London calling, yes, I was there too.
And you know what they said? Some of it was true!"
~ The Clash

I've always loved that line. It seems to perfectly captire the cynicism of a generation that is so accustomed to hearing lies, that it's remarkable when some bit of gossip turns out to actually be true.

 

[Unprofessional]

Give a man a free lunch and he'll figure out a way
To steal more than he can eat 'cause he doesn't have to pay
Give a woman free kids and you'll find them in the dirt
Learning how to carry on the family line of work
It's the man in the White House, the man under the steeple
Passing out drugs to the American people
I don't believe in anything, nothing is free
They're feeding our people the Government Cheese

Government Cheese, The Rainmakers

 

[seansbrew]

Well, ring the bell backwards and bury the axe
Fall down on your knees in the dirt
I'm tied to the mast between water and wind
Believe me, you'll never get hurt
Our ring's in the pawnshop, the rain's in the hole
Down at the Five Points I stand
I'll lose everything
But I won't let go of your hand


Well, Peter denied and Judas betrayed
I'll bail with the roll of the drum
And the wind will tell the turn from the wheel
And the watchman is making his rounds
Well, you'll leave me hanging by the skin of my teeth
I've only got one leg to stand
You can send me to hell
But I'll never let go of your hand


Swing from a rope on a cross-legged dream(?)
Signed with One Eyed Jack's blood
From Temple to Union, to LA and Grand
Walking back home in the mud


Now I must make my best of the only way home
Molly deals only in stone
I'm lost on the midway, I'm reckless in your eyes
Just give me a couple more throws
I'll dare you to dine with the cross-legged knight
Dare me to jump and I will
I'll fall from your grace
But I'll never let go of your hand
I'll never let go of your hand

'Never Let Go' - Tom Waits.
