How much I lied is an excellent tune. Gram Parsons was the greatest

Before I sink into the big sleep
I want to hear
I want to hear
The scream of the butterfly

Early one mornin’ the sun was shinin’
I was layin’ in bed
Wond’rin’ if she’d changed at all
If her hair was still red
Her folks they said our lives together
Sure was gonna be rough
They never did like Mama’s homemade dress
Papa’s bankbook wasn’t big enough
And I was standin’ on the side of the road
Rain fallin’ on my shoes
Heading out for the East Coast
Lord knows I’ve paid some dues gettin’ through
Tangled up in blue

A few off the top of my head from Steely Dan

Show Business Kids Making Movies of Themselves
You know they don't give a f...k about anybody else (Show Biz Kids)

Kids if you want some fun
Mr LaPage is your man (Everyone's gone to the movies)

When I heard I grabbed a cab to where he lay
'Round his arm the plastic tag read 'D.O.A'
Yes Jack, I gave it back, the ring I could not own
Now come my friend I'll take your hand and lead you home
(Charlie Freak)

Agents of the law
Luckless pedestrian
I know you're out there
With rage in your eyes and your megaphones
Saying all is forgiven
Mad dog surrender
How can I answer?
A man of my mind can do anything
(Don't take me alive)

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

Time - Pink Floyd





Roger beat me to it. Damn fine lyrics. Will be play at my funeral or lyrics written on the program.

quote:

We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill
As the day begs the night for mercy love
The sun so bright it leaves no shadows
Only scars carved into stone
On the face of earth
The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
We see the sun go down in your eyes

You run like river, on like a sea
You run like a river runs to the sea

And in the world a heart of darkness
A fire zone
Where poets speak their heart
Then bleed for it
Jara sang, his song a weapon
In the hands of love
You know his blood still cries
From the ground

It runs like a river runs to the sea
It runs like a river to the sea

I don't believe in painted roses
Or bleeding hearts
While bullets rape the night of the merciful
I'll see you again
When the stars fall from the sky
And the moon has turned red
Over One Tree Hill

We run like a river
Run to the sea
We run like a river to the sea
And when it's raining
Raining hard
That's when the rain will
Break my heart

U2 One Tree Hill


The backstory of the song is pretty touching as well.

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue sky's from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
And how we found
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

-- Roger Waters

While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the night
For unless they see the sky
But they can't and that is why
They know not if it's dark outside or light

She was a fast machine
She kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman that I ever seen.

And the poets down here
Don't write nothing at all
They just stand back and let it all be

Bruce Springsteen - Jungleland


Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse

Bruce Springsteen - the River


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

Townes Van Zandt - If I Needed You

She danced with me and I still hold that memory
Soft and sweet
And I stare up at her window
As I walk down her street
But I never made the first team,
I just made the first team laugh
And she never came to the phone
She was always in the bath
I had to look in the dictionary
To find out the meaning of unrequited
While she was giving herself for free
At a party to which I was never invited

Billy Bragg- The Saturday Boy

But we only stay in orbit
For a moment of time
And then you're everybody's satellite
I wish that you were mine

This reminds me...

Well, now I'm out of prison
I got me a friend at last
Well he don't drink or steal or cheat or lie
His name's codeine
He's the nicest thing I've seen
Together we're gonna wait around to die

Dear Chicago, you'll never guess
You know the girl, you said
I'd meet someday?
Well, I got something to confess

She picked me up on Friday
Asked me if she reminded me of you?
I just laughed and lit a cigarette
Said, "That's impossible to do"

Like every heart's a beat before
every wave to kiss the shore.
I'm not the first, not the last
that's soon to be your past.
But every morning when the light
comes creeping in around my eyes
another future falls behind
the one I had in mind.
