"I wonder if a composer ever intentionally composed a piece that was physically impossible to play and stuck it away to be found years later after his death, knowing it would forever drive perfectionist musicians crazy." - George Carlin
Bowling for Soup- Next Ex-Girlfriend
I don't wanna get inside your mind or your pants
I don't wanna waste my time with love and romance
I want my next-ex-girlfriend, my next-ex-girlfriend
I don't want the fairy tale and
I don't want the girl from hell
Don't wanna be your biggest mistake
You can be my next-ex-girlfriend, my next-ex-girlfriend
Immature? Of course I'm immature Einstein, I'm 50 and in a Rock and ROll band.

But everyone said she was beautiful, even without her head
Everyone said she was dangerous'

Intoxicated with the madness, I'm in love with my sadness- Zero, Billy Corgan Smashing Pumpkins
I love all the lyrics to Rocket by Billy Corgan
Bleed in your own light
Dream of your own life
I miss me
I miss everything I'll never be
And on, and on
I torch my soul to show
The world that I am pure
Deep inside my heart
No more lies
A crown of horns
An image formed deformed
The mark I've borne
A mark of scorn to you
Consume my love, devour my hate
Only powers my escape
The moon is out the, stars invite
I think i'll leave tonight
So soon I'll find myself alone
To relax and fade away
Do you know what's coming down
Do you know I couldn't stay free?
I shall be free
I shall be free
I shall be free
I shall be free
I shall be free free
Free of those voices inside me
I shall be free
I shall be free
If you know something better than Rock and Roll, I'd like to hear it - Jerry Lee Lewis
Warren Zevon:
I've got a bird that whistles
I've got a bird that sings
I've got a bird that . . . I've got a bird . . .
I'm worried about that bird
"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." -- HST
ok....the lyrics that grabbed me and never let go when I was merely a 16 year old lad.
"If you should go skating
On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear stained eyes
Don't be surprised, when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice"
The Thin Ice- Pink Floyd
BTW - +1 to CFB for quoting Zappa- He is one of most favorite.

I wrapped a newspaper 'round my head
So I looked like I was deep
I liked it so much I made it my sig.

"Every night for a week I've been sittin here drinkin'
I go out with Franklin and I come home with Lincoln
Now little Angie's lookin at me funny and winkin'
And I wish I had some money cause I know what Angie's thinkin'
But I tell ya baby if you can't take a hint
There's nothin' left in my pocket but lint
I think I'm coming to the end of my stint
At the Alibi"
Lyle Lovett
"But Tonto he was smarter
And one day said Kemosabe

"Did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the basket
And was everybody dancing on the casket?
Now it's over I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want
Or, I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do"
Will Hoge
"I know this place is poison but I'm coming back for a lethal dose"
Thumbs up to Oenyaw for the BOC line, I've always loved that one as well.

Hold me close
Let Your love surround me
Bring me near
Draw me to Your side
And as I wait
I'll rise up like the eagle
And I will soar with You
Your Spirit leads me on
By the power of Your love
Power of Your Love

"I play live as playing dead is harder than it sounds!"
It ought to be easy,
Ought to be simple enough,
When a man meets a women and they fall in love,
But the house is haunted and the road gets rough,
You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above.
Springsteen: Tunnel of Love
The secret to a successful marriage described in a lyric.
Given the recent change in my marital status, I HAD to post this one... :wink:
Lyle Lovett - She's no lady she's my wife
She hates my mama
She hates my daddy too
She loves to tell me
She hates the things I do
She loves to lie beside me
Almost every night
She's no lady she's my wife
The preacher asked her
And she said I do
The preacher asked me
And she said yes he does too
And the preacher said
I pronounce you 99 to life
Son she's no lady she's your wife
And I can't remember
How I met her
Seems like she's always just been hanging here off my right arm
And I can't remember
How I ever
Thought that I just couldn't live without a woman's charm
And even though
She loves the smell of french perfume
And even though
She walks around in high-heel shoes
All I know
Is I'm the one who pays her price
Man she's no lady she's my wife

When I went through a breakup several years ago I found these lyrics to be well.....
the song is called "Prayer to God" by Shellac
To the one true God above:
here is my prayer -
not the first you've heard, but the first I wrote.
(not the first, but the others were a long time ago).
There are two people here, and I want you to kill them.
Her - she can go quietly, by disease or a blow
to the base of her neck,
where her necklaces close,
where her garments come together,
where I used to lay my face...
That's where you oughta kill her,
in that particular place.
Him - just f@@king kill him, I don't care if it hurts.
Yes I do, I want it to,
f@@king kill him but first
make him cry like a woman,
(no particular woman),
let him hold out, hold back
(someone or other might come and f@@king kill him).
F@@king kill him.
Kill him already, kill him.
F@@king kill him, f@@king kill him,
Kill him already, kill him,
Just f@@king kill him!
"It's all about stickin it to the man!"
It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll!
