Spitting in a wishing well
Blown to hell
Crash
I'm the last splash
I'll be your whatever you want
The bong in this reggae song

Cannonball!!

"I don't care if it rains or freezes, as long as I got my plastic jesus sittin' on the dashboard of my car..."

Can anybody share with me the TRUE origin of this song??
I've heard a number of remakes and songs based off it.

I know it from my boy Luke!

He sure plays a cool hand...........

Today is is greatest
Day I’ve ever known
Don’t live for tomorrow
Tomorrow’s much too long
I’ll burn my eyes out....

EEP OPP ORK AH AH

Looking back on when I
Was a little nappy headed boy
Then my only worry
Was for Christmas what would be my toy
Even though we sometimes
Would not get a thing
We were happy with the
Joy the day would bring
Sneaking out the back door
To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
Greeted at the back door
But thought I told you not to go outside
Tryin' your best to bring the
Water to your eyes
Thinkin' it might stop her
From woopin' your behind
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go

You should see what Gumby can do today.

He can walk into any book, with his pony pal Pokey, too.

If you've got a heart then Gumby's a part of you.

I was waiting for some Rush lyrics, as most Peart lyrics stand on their own as damn good poetry.
But that was from their first album, before he even joined the band!

How about:

If the future’s looking dark
We’re the ones who have to shine
If there’s no one in control
We’re the ones who draw the line
Though we live in trying times —
We’re the ones who have to try
Though we know that time has wings —
We’re the ones who have to fly

Or:

A phosphorescent wave on a tropical sea is a cold fire
The pattern of moonlight on the bedroom floor is a cold fire
The flame at the heart of a pawnbroker's diamond is a cold fire
The look in your eyes as you head for the door is a cold fire

Or:

They shoot without shame
In the name of a piece of dirt
For a change of accent
Or the color of your shirt
Better the pride that resides
In a citizen of the world
Than the pride that divides
When a colorful rag is unfurled

I could go on all night...

Refried confusion is making itself clear

Beautiful words for sure. Working man is a song that has been fortunately and unfortunately my life recently.

I know every song
Ain't gonna be a hit
But some of you listen
To some really weird shit

I'm a moron 'n' this is my wife
She's frosting a cake
With a paper knife
All what we got here's
American made
It's a little bit cheesey
But it's nicely displayed
Well we don't get excited when it
Crumbles 'n' breaks
We just get on the phone
And call up some Flakes
They rush on over
'N' wreck it some more
'N' we are so dumb
They're linin' up at our door
Well, the toilet went crazy
Yesterday afternoon
The plumber he says
"Never flush a tampoon!"
This great information
Cost me half a week's pay
And the toilet blew up
Later on the next day ay-eee-ay
Blew up the next day WOO-OOO

Ramones, We’re a Happy Family

We're a happy family, we're a happy family
We're a happy family, me, mom and daddy
We're a happy family, we're a happy family
We're a happy family, me, mom and daddy

Siting here in Queens
Eating refried beans
We're in all the magazines
Gulpin' down Thorazines
We ain't got no friends
Our troubles never end
No Christmas cards to send
Daddy likes men

Daddy's telling lies
Baby's eating flies
Mommy's on pills
Baby's got the chills

I'm friends with the President
I'm friends with the Pope
We're all making a fortune selling Daddy's dope

The screen door slams, Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely

I used to love to play this one at open mic

well ive been 'fraid of changin' 'cuz i built my life around you

just a drop of water in an endless sea

its not having what you want
its wanting what youve got

they got a name for the winners in the world
i, i want a name when i lose

well i dont know why i came here tonight
i got the feeling that something aint right
clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here i am
stuck in the middle with you

i used to roll the dice
feel the fear in my enemys eyes

was the fin on your back part of the deal? shark!

maybe somethings wrong with you
that makes you act the way you do

youre going to reap just what you sow

why do i find it hard to write the next line?
oh i want the truth to be said.

Find my asshole, brother

-- Bush (Everything Zen)

Never thought of that lyric with a comma....kinda changes the lyrical intent quite a bit!

Holy smoke that's right! I unconsciously tacked her favorite lyric to her favorite song. Thanks for the catch.

'Cause the boys in the hood are always hard
You come talkin' the trash, we'll pull your card
Knowin' nothin' in life, but to be legit
Don't quote me, boy, 'cause I ain't said shit

Continuation of post 26

Dire Straights - Money for Nothing. The whole song is about regular Joe's complaining about how some people got it easy.

"Now look at them yo-yo's, that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free"

See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot, he's a millionaire

It would take big balls to say something like this in a popular song today.

There's something I must tell you, there's something I must say
The only really perfect love is one that gets away

the unattractive truth.
But the suburbs hold no charms to soothe
the restless dreams of youth.”

“I wanna be Bob Dylan. Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little bit more funky. When everybody loves you, that’s just about as funky as you can be.”

Adam Duritz

"Anger he smiles towering in shiny metallic purple armor
Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him
Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground
Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted
They quietly understand
The once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready
But wonder why the fight is on"

"When the ebbing tide retreats
Along the rocky shoreline
It leaves a trail of tidal pools
In a short-lived galaxy
Each microcosmic planet
A complete society
A simple kind mirror
To reflect upon our own
All the busy little creatures
Chasing out their destinies
Living in their pools
They soon forget about the sea"

"You might be a king, or a little street sweeper, But sooner or later you dance with the reaper."
