What’s a verse from a song you enjoy
Posted on 12/7/19 at 12:29 am

Doesn’t have to be your favorite or anything, just one that you think is neat. But don’t post whole songs though. Just parts, can be one line or multiple.
Neutral Milk Hotel - King of Carrot Flowers Pt 1
Primitive Radio Gods - Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money in My Hand
2 Skinny J's - Sugar and Candy
Neutral Milk Hotel - King of Carrot Flowers Pt 1
quote:
And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking
And dad would dream of all the different ways to die
Each one a little more than he could dare to try
Primitive Radio Gods - Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money in My Hand
quote:
A life is time, they teach us growing up
The seconds ticking killed us all
A million years before the fall
You ride the waves and don't ask where they go
You swim like lions through the crest
And bathe yourself on zebra flesh
2 Skinny J's - Sugar and Candy
quote:
But one figure struggled just to stand there
He was a one-legged man in his wheel chair
I struck out a course for his lantern
I put out a hand and then he grabbed me
He told a lifetime of boxcars and bi-ways
Of the times of stock yards and chain gangs and two legs
He offered his advice for a penny
And for that small price here's what he gave me

We've gained notoriety
And caused much anxiety
In the Audobon Society
With our games
They call it impiety
And lack of propriety
And quite a variety
of unpleasant names
But it's not against any religion
To want to dispose of a pigeon...
-- Tom Lehrer, "Poisoning Pigeons In The Park"

I think I'm goin' back
To the things I learned so well in my youth
I think I'm returning to
Those days when I was young enough to know the truth
Now there are no games
To only pass the time
No more electric trains
No more trees to climb
But thinking young and growing older is no sin
And I can play the game of life to win
-- Gerry Goffin, "Goin' Back"

When the world and I were young
Just yesterday
Live was such a simple game
A child could play
It was easy then to tell right from wrong
Easy then to tell weak from strong
When a man should stand and fight
Or just go along
But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light
Today there is no black or white
Only shades of gray
-- Cynthia Weil, "Shades of Gray"

A thief can only steal from you
He cannot break your heart
He'll never touch the precious things inside
So one like you should surely be
miles and miles away from me
Then you'd never care how much I've lied
So try to understand the pain
It takes so long when I explain
Please, don't you forget how much I've lied
--Gram Parsons, "How Much I've Lied"

I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them but they were only satellites
It's wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish I wish I wish you cared.

All lyrics by Johnny Mercer
They never did return their plunder
The victor gets all the loot.
They carried them home, by thunder,
To rotundas small but cute.
And you've never seen
so they tell me,
such downright domesticity.
With a Roman baby on each knee
Named "Claudius" and "Brut"
---
The voters is connected to the nominee
The nominee's connected to the treasury
When he ain't connected to the treasury
He sits around on his thigh bone
He sits around in this place they got,
This big congressional parking lot
Just sits around on the you know what
Up there they calls 'em their thigh bone
Them bones, them bones
Gonna rise again
Gonna excercise a franchise again
Gonna tax us up to our eyes again
When he gets them off of their thigh bone
---
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end,
waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me
"Hey man, nobody said we were as good as Johnny Mercer." -- Bob Dylan

"I've been searching for the daughter
Of the devil himself
I've been searching for an angel in white
I've been waiting for a woman who's a little
Of both
And I can feel her but she's nowhere
In sight"

#1 Right in Two
Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over pieces of the ground
Silly monkeys, give them thumbs, they make a club and beat their brother down
How they've survived so misguided is a mystery
Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability
To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here
And I always liked this AIC witten by Jerry not Layne.
Walking tall machine gun man
They spit on me in my home land
Gloria sent me pictures of my boy
Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death
My buddy's breathing his dying breath
Oh, God, please won't you help me make it through

I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze?
Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable and no-one has a real friend
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
And everything's done under the sun
And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer
And
I've been run down and I've been lied to.
And I don't know why, I let that mean woman make me a fool.
She took all my money, wrecks my new car.
Now she's with one of my good time buddies,
They're drinkin in some cross-town bar.
Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Like I been tied to the whippin' post.
Tied to the whippin' post, tied to the whippin' post.
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'.

Operator-could you help me place this call?
See, the number on the matchbook is old and faded.
She's living in L.A. with my best old ex-friend Ray
A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated.
damn

In the night forlorn the morning's born
And the morning shines with the lights of love
You will miss sunrise if you close your eyes
That would break my heart in two

like the mystics and statistics say it will...
Warren Zevon
GOAT rhyme -
Baby, you know I ain't no Queen of Sheba
We may not even have our dignity
This could be just a powerful thing
Baby we can choose you know we ain't no amoeba
Bonnie Raitt
Rave on, darling, rave on
I'll buy you clothes of Rayon
Rave on darling, rave on
I'll meet you at the Save-On
T-Bone Burnett
And I love you with all that I can
And bleed from the palm of my hands
I'll see you in heaven if we both get in,
'cause I wouldn't die for your sins
No I wouldn't die for your sins.
Eef Barzelay (who is Jewish)
And the TV's in Esperanto
You know that that's a bitch
They Might Be Giants
I haven't even gotten into Prine or Townes.

tried to stay, tried to run
there's never been enough reason to believe in anyone
this trickle-down theory
has left all these pockets empty
and the bar clock says three a.m.
fallout shelter sign above the door
in other words, don't come here anymore
Uncle Tupelo - Postcard

Bob Dylan- Positviely 4th Street
Purple Mountains- Storyline Fever
Neutral Milk Hotel- In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
The Hold Steady- Stuck Between Stations
quote:
I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment I could be you
Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is to see you
Purple Mountains- Storyline Fever
quote:
On occasion, we all do battle with motivational paralysis
Unable to perform some simple task
Trapped at the stage of analysis
Thoughts of the shortness of life may beget
Bouts of shortness of breath in your chest
Doubts about the worth of the nights you got left
Crowding out all but fear and regret
Neutral Milk Hotel- In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
quote:
What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all 'round the sun
And when we meet on a cloud
I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all
The Hold Steady- Stuck Between Stations
quote:
There are nights when I think Sal Paradise was right.
Boys and girls in America have such a sad time together.
Sucking off each other at the demonstrations
Making sure their makeup's straight
Crushing one another with colossal expectations.
Dependent, undisciplined, and sleeping late.
She was a really cool kisser and she wasn't all that strict of a Christian.
She was a damn good dancer but she wasn't all that great of a girlfriend.
She likes the warm feeling but she's tired of all the dehydration.

Your eyes get itchy in the wee wee hours
Sun's just a red ball rising over them refinery towers
Radio's jammed up with gospel stations
Lost souls calling long distance salvation
Hey mister deejay won't you hear my last prayer
Hey ho rock 'n roll deliver me from nowhere
Springsteen - Open All Night

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through
Bowie

I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers, guns and money

I can see them all now, they haunt my dreams
All lily white and squeaky clean
They've never known want, they'll never know need
Their shite don't stink and their kids won't bleed
Their kids won't bleed in their damn little war
And we can't make it here anymore
All lily white and squeaky clean
They've never known want, they'll never know need
Their shite don't stink and their kids won't bleed
Their kids won't bleed in their damn little war
And we can't make it here anymore
