  • Please allow me to introduce myself
    I'm a man of wealth and taste
  • Well it's one for the money
    Two for show
    Three to get ready
    Now go cat go
  • "She says her love for me will never die
    But that'd change if she ever finds out about you and I !"

    ;D Love the way that twists!
  • There's a little ditty they're singin' in the city
    Especially when they've been on the gin or the beer
    If you've got the patience your own imaginations will tell you just exactly what you want to hear
    Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, that's how it goes
    Oom pah pah, oom pah pah, everyone knows
    And they all suppose what they want to suppose when they hear oom pah pah
  • Well, he walked up to me and he asked me if I wanted to dance
    He looked kinda nice and so I said I might take a chance
    When he danced he held me tight
    And when he walked me home that night
    All the stars were shining bright
    And then he kissed me

    Three offerings:

    "Once upon a time you dressed so fine. You threw the bums a dime in your prime .... didn't you?" - Like a Rollin' Stone - HRH King Bob Dylan

    "Oh, Debora... always look like a zebra" - Debora by pre-glamrock Bopping Elf, Marc Bolan.

    "Take it or leave it, I've heard it been said" - Russian Roulette by Van Morrison

  • Nobody knows what it's like
    to be the bad man,
    to be the sad man,
    behind blue eyes
  • My love is like footsteps in the snow, baby,
    I follow you everywhere you go, baby.
    The pain as light has come to wake you
    But you will never realize
    That I inspire the dreams that guide you baby.
    You're a half a world away
    But in my mind I whisper every single word you say.
    And before you sleep at night
    You pray to me, your lucky star, your singing satellite.

    Oceanlab - Satellite
  • In one single moment your whole life can turn 'round
    I stand there for a minute starin' straight into the ground
    Lookin' to the left slightly, then lookin' back down
    World feels like it's caved in - proper sorry frown
    Please let me show you where we could only just be, for us
    I can change and I can grow or we could adjust
    The wicked thing about us is we always have trust
    We can even have an open relationship, if you must

  • After much thought I think my personal favourite is

    "Some people call me the space cowboy yeah
    Some call me the gangster of love"
  • Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
    Who was very rarely stable
    Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
    Who could think you under the table
    David Hume could out-consume
    Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
    And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
    Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel

  • From the two bands of the decade:

    Stop making the eyes at me, I'll stop making the eyes at you
    And what it is that surprises me is that I don't really want you to
    And your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night)
    Oh, but you're an explosion (you're dynamite)
    Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand
    And lighting the fuse might result in a bang, b-b-bang, go!.....

    and

    I'm on it, get on it
    The troops are on fire!

    The Paul Simon song is rubbish apart from that line whereas New England is excelent, but I knew that if I had put Billy Bragg some wag would have pointed out that he didn't write it.
  • When the day is dawning,
    On a Texas Sunday Morning

    With Marie whos waiting for me there

    Where i hang my hat
    Aint as half as pretty,
    As where my baby's at
