Bear gone fishin', mermaids missin'
Got to get to the bottom of this
Kissin' the wound from the captain's harpoon
Unexpected moment of bliss

Nibbling on sponge cake, watching the sun bake, all of the tourist are covered with oil.

Sing your song sweet music man.

Dandy, I was listening to Springsteen long before I moved to Jersey, those two songs have been my favorites since I was a kid in New Orleans. My sister and uncle listened to Springsteen when I was a kid

"I guess I'll never grow a sideburn
it's a shame with all I've go to go between"

"Mary Alice had a baby
and it looked just like I did
We got married on a monday
and I been working ever since."

"My mama told me "your life is such a wreck"
"You're dumber than dogshit" is what my daddy said"

"Kim said "Jimmy you better get yourself up off of that raggedy couch. I'm too pretty to work and I'm tired of you uglying up my house."

"Oh, says Red Molly to James, "That's a fine motorbike
A girl could feel special on any such like"

"I been painting houses, mowing lawns
doing odd jobs, picking up pecans"

I had a good home but I left

I had a good home but I left, right, left

That big fricking bomb made me deaf, deaf

A Humvee mechanic put his Kevlar on wrong

I guarantee you’ll meet up with a suicide bomb

Cold Fort Worth beer just ain't no good for jealous

Pardon me, you left you tears I the jukebox, and I'm afraid they for me de up with mine

Early one morning while making my rounds, I took a shot of cocaine and shot my woman down

Well I got drunk by myself last night, they say it's no way to make things right, I just didn't have anything g better to do

Probably my all time favorite song.

"Moving like the fog on the Cumberland River
I was leaving on the Delta Queen
and I wasn't ready to go
"

I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises
All lies and jests
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest



quote:

I remember the night that he came in
from the wintery cold and damp
A giant of a man in an oilskin coat,
and a bundle that told he was a tramp
He stood at the bar and he called a pint,
then turned and gazed at the fire
"On a night like this, to be safe and dry
is my one and only desire"



quote:

Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
"Please share my umbrella"
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella
