To runaround kids in get-go cars/with vaseline afterbirths with neon coughs/galaxies full of nobodies giving us the farewell runaround/I took a Virgin Mary axe to his sweet baby Jane/ lost my innocence to a no-good girl/ scratch my face with anvil hands/and coil my tongue around a bumblebee mouth.. .and I give it all back to you.

I always like Morphine's lyrics:
I propose a toast to my self control
You see it crawling helpless on the floor
Someday there'll be a cure for pain
That's the day I throw my drugs awayAnd Wilco:She had black hair like ravens crawling over her shoulders
All the way down
Well the money's pouring down and the people all look down,
And it's floating out of town
I hit the second deck and I spend my paycheck,
And my wife that I just met, she's looking like a wreck
Casino Queen, my lord you're mean
I've been gambling like a fiend on your tables so greenHey, wake up, your eyes weren't open wide
For the last couple of miles you've been swerving from side to side
You're gonna make me spill my beer,
If you don't learn how to steer
Passenger side, passenger side,
I don't like riding on the passenger side
Roll another number for the road
You're the only sober person I know
Won't you let me make you a deal,
Just get behind the wheel
Passenger side, passenger side,
I don't like riding on the passenger side
Should've been the driver, could've been the one
I should've been your lover, but I hadn't seen...
Can you take me to the store, then the bank?
I've got five dollars we can put in the tank
I've got a court date coming this June
I'll be driving soon
Passenger side, passenger side,
I don't like riding on the passenger side
I don't like riding on the passenger sideWhat's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

Okkervil River - A Stone
.You love a stone,
because it's dark and it's old,
and if it could start
being alive
you'd stop living alone.
And I think I believe that,
if stones could dream,
they'd dream of being laid
side-by-side,
piece-by-piece,
and turned into a castle
for some towering queen
they're unable to know.
And when that queen's daughter
came of age,
I think she'd be lovely
and stubborn and brave,
and suitors would journey
from kingdoms away
just to make themselves known.
And I think that I know the bitter dismay of a lover who brought
fresh brouquets every day
when she turned him away
to remember some knave
who once gave
just one rose, one day, years ago
Bright Eyes - Another Travelin' Song
I'll fight like hell to hide the that I've given up.I told him he was a goddamn Nazi Stormtrooper.

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
Sinners are much more fun.

There's a fine line between Saturday Night and Sunday morning.
Jimmy Buffett"The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."
"They talk about the economy this year. Hey, my hairline is in recession, my waistline is in inflation. Altogether, I'm in a depression."
"I like to bike. I could beat Lance Armstrong, only because he couldn't pass me if he was behind me."

"I've got soul but I'm not a soldier.""Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action. His actions are supposed to reflect his ethical code.
The rest of us rarely bother to think about our actions." --Solon

This thread is a lot more fun if you provide the lyrics only and let us try to recognize the artist/song."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

"You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal."Te Occidere Possunt Sed Te Edere Non Possunt Nefas Est.

There are only four (awesome) people here who listen to Rush. The rest of you aren't smart enough to figure it out (clearly).Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostThis thread is a lot more fun if you provide the lyrics only and let us try to recognize the artist/song.
Three of those four are me and my kin.
