Song lines that make you stop and think.

Giraffoto

"Close your eyes, give me your hand,
Do you feel my heart beating?"

Makes me think, what's she just done with the hand she's been given?

FatTed

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

Lyle Lovett

FatTed

I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick on the cigarettes there in the ashtray
Lyin cold the way you left em, but at least your lips caressed them while
You packed
Or the lip-print on a half-filled cup of coffee that you poured and didn't drink
But at least you thought you wanted it, that's so much more than I can say
For me

Elvis Costello

Gregger

Marooned and stranded on the islands of the damned,,,,
I turned my face to God but his face was turned away” Motorhead , Lost in The ozone

“The secret rules of this world, they are liars, hypocrites and thieves…..
Did you really think they would allow you to share in the discovery”
Blaze Bayley – 10th Dimesnion

“Teenage baby you’re a sweet young thing
Still tied to mummy’s apron string” Motorhead , Jailbait

Tom Waits - Step Right Up

Step right up, step right up, step right up,
Everyone's a winner, bargains galore
That's right, you too can be the proud owner
Of the quality goes in before the name goes on
One-tenth of a dollar, one-tenth of a dollar, we got service after sales
You need perfume? we got perfume, how 'bout an engagement ring?
Something for the little lady, something for the little lady,
Something for the little lady, hmm
Three for a dollar
We got a year-end clearance, we got a white sale
And a smoke-damaged furniture, you can drive it away today
Act now, act now, and receive as our gift, our gift to you
They come in all colors, one size fits all
No muss, no fuss, no spills, you're tired of kitchen drudgery
Everything must go, going out of business, going out of business
Going out of business sale
Fifty percent off original retail price, skip the middle man
Don't settle for less
How do we do it? how do we do it? volume, volume, turn up the volume
Now you've heard it advertised, don't hesitate
Don't be caught with your drawers down,
Don't be caught with your drawers down
You can step right up, step right up
That's right, it filets, it chops, it dices, slices,
Never stops, lasts a lifetime, mows your lawn
And it mows your lawn and it picks up the kids from school
It gets rid of unwanted facial hair, it gets rid of embarrassing age spots,
It delivers a pizza, and it lengthens, and it strengthens
And it finds that slipper that's been at large
under the chaise lounge for several weeks
And it plays a mean Rhythm Master,
It makes excuses for unwanted lipstick on your collar
And it's only a dollar, step right up, it's only a dollar, step right up
'Cause it forges your signature
If not completely satisfied, mail back unused portion of product
For complete refund of price of purchase
Step right up
Please allow thirty days for delivery, don't be fooled by cheap imitations
You can live in it, live in it, laugh in it, love in it
Swim in it, sleep in it,
Live in it, swim in it, laugh in it, love in it
Removes embarrassing stains from contour sheets, that's right
And it entertains visiting relatives, it turns a sandwich into a banquet
Tired of being the life of the party?
Change your shorts, change your life, change your life
Change into a nine-year-old Hindu boy, get rid of your wife,
And it walks your dog, and it doubles on sax
Doubles on sax, you can jump back Jack, see you later alligator
See you later alligator
And it steals your car
It gets rid of your gambling debts, it quits smoking
It's a friend, and it's a companion,
And it's the only product you will ever need
Follow these easy assembly instructions it never needs ironing
Well it takes weights off hips, bust, thighs, chin, midriff,
Gives you dandruff, and it finds you a job, it is a job
And it strips the phone company free take ten for five exchange,
And it gives you denture breath
And you know it's a friend, and it's a companion
And it gets rid of your traveler's checks
It's new, it's improved, it's old-fashioned
Well it takes care of business, never needs winding,
Never needs winding, never needs winding
Gets rid of blackheads, the heartbreak of psoriasis,
Christ, you don't know the meaning of heartbreak, buddy,
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
'Cause it's effective, it's defective, it creates household odors,
It disinfects, it sanitizes for your protection
It gives you an erection, it wins the election
Why put up with painful corns any longer?
It's a redeemable coupon, no obligation, no salesman will visit your home
We got a jackpot, jackpot, jackpot, prizes, prizes, prizes, all work guaranteed
How do we do it, how do we do it, how do we do it, how do we do it
We need your business, we're going out of business
We'll give you the business
Get on the business end of our going-out-of-business sale
Receive our free brochure, free brochure
Read the easy-to-follow assembly instructions, batteries not included
Send before midnight tomorrow, terms available,
Step right up, step right up, step right up
You got it buddy: the large print giveth, and the small print taketh away
Step right up, you can step right up, you can step right up
C'mon step right up
(Get away from me kid, you bother me...)
Step right up, step right up, step right up, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Step right up, you can step right up, c'mon and step right up,
C'mon and step right up

To be loving

takes much courage

Well Billy rapped all night about his suicide
How he'd kick it in the head when he was 25
Speed Jive don't want to stay alive
When you're 25
And Wendy's stealing clothes from Marks and Sparks
And Freddy's got spots from ripping off the stars from his face
Funky little boat race
Television man is crazy saying we're juvenille delinquent wrecks
Oh man I need TV when I got T Rex
Oh brother you guessed
I'm a dude Dad

'N' every gimmick hungry yob digging gold from rock 'n' roll
Grabs the mike to tell us he'll die before he's sold
But I believe in this-and it's been tested by research
He who fcuks nuns will later join the church

they don't write 'em like that no more.

No they don't. To add to that

Minutes drag and hours jerk.

And if you want to be free, be free

I never dreamt that I would get to be,
the creature that I always meant to be.
But I thought, in spite of dreams,
you'd be sitting somewhere here with me.

aerosmith - what could have been love.....


I wake up and wonder how everything went wrong
Am I the one to blame
I gave up and left you For a nowhere bound train
Now that train has come and gone

I closed my eyes and see you
Lying in my bedand
i still dreamed of that day

What could have been love
Should have been the only thing that was ever meant to be
Didnt know couldnt see what was right in front of me
And now that Im alone
All I have is emptiness that comes from being free
What could have been love will never be

An old friend who told me that you found somebody new
ohhhhh, youre finally moving on
You think that Id be over you after all these years
Yeahhh but time is proving wrong
Cause im still holding on

What could have been love
Should have been the only thing that was ever meant to be
Didnt know couldnt see what was right in front of me
And now that Im alone
All I have is emptiness that comes from being free
What could have been love will never be
