Some song lyrics that I find significant or timeless or funny or meaningful to me for whatever reason...
Turn, turn any corner
Hear, you must hear what the people say
You know there's something goin' on around here
That surely, surely, surely won't stand the light of day
And it appears to be a long
Appears to be a long
Appears to be a long time
Such a long, long, long, long time before the dawn.
-David Crosby, Long Time Gone
Livin' on the road, my friend
Was gonna keep you free and clean
Now you wear your skin like iron
Your breath as hard as kerosene
You weren't your mama's only boy
But her favorite one it seems
She began to cry as you said goodbye
And sank into your dreams
-Townes Van Zandt, Pancho and Lefty
Alabama, you got the weight on your shoulders
That's breaking your back
Your Cadillac has got a wheel in the ditch
And a wheel on the track
-Neil Young, Alabama
I will turn your face to alabaster
When you find your servant is your master
-The Police, Wrapped Around Your Finger
Now I know how Joan of Arc felt
As the flames rose to her Roman nose
And her Walkman started to melt
-Morrissey (The Smiths), Bigmouth Strikes Again
Dead leaves of December
Thin-skinned and splintered
Never gotten used to this bitter winter
-Lucinda Williams, Minneapolis
Real live bleeding fingers
And broken guitar strings
-Lucinda Williams, Real Live Bleeding Fingers and Broken Guitar Stings
The company couch covered in plastic
Little books about being saved
The dining room table nobody ate at
The piano nobody played
-Lucinda Williams, Bus to Baton Rouge
I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
-David Bowie/Iggy Pop, China Girl
Little things that will change you forever
May appear from way out of the blue
-George Harrison, This is Love
