Though it has to be said that few song lyrics have the simple, yet devastating poetic lyricism that takes you back to a point of time where thousands were unified by a simple message, in harmony with one collective thought like a multi-consciousness gestalt
Simon Jordan is a wanker, is a wanker. Simon Jordan is a wanker, is a wanker.
To rival that; oh, oh Roland, ooo aa I wanna know why you’re such a cnut.
Real real gone I got hit by a bow and arrow Got me down to the very marrow And I'm real, real gone
Real real gone I can't stand up by myself Don't you know I need your help And I'm real, real gone
Some people say You can make it on your own Oh you can make it if you try I know better now You can't stand up alone Oh baby that is why
I'm real, real gone
I can't stand up by myself Don't you know I need your help You're a friend of mine And I'm real, real gone
And Sam Cooke is on the radio And the night is filled with space And your fingertips touch my face You're a friend of mine And I'm real, real gone
I'm real gone
Oh Lord I got hit by a bow and arrow Got me down to the very marrow You're a friend of mine And I'm real, real gone And I'm real, real gone I'm real gone

It's hard to keep from crying, After all that we've been through.
Now that it's all over, now that you and I are free, Now there's nothing left except the bit of property. Started off with nothing, started off just you and me, Now that it's all over you can keep the property.
And all the little gifts we thought we'd throw away, The useless souvenirs bought on a holiday. We put them on a shelf, now they're collecting dust. We never needed them, but they outlasted us.
You may not agree with his politics, and his singing is an acquired taste, but Billy Bragg writes some bloody good lyrics. Personal favourite is probably "Must I Paint You A Picture", which starts off
"It's bad timing and me:
We find a lot of things out this way.
And there's you
a little black cloud in a dress.
The temptation to take the precious things we have apart to see how they work
must be resisted for they never fit together again."
Although as a football fan I've always been tickled by the bit in "Greetings to the New Brunette" that goes
"Sometimes when we're as close as this,
it's like we are in a dream.
How can you lie there and think of England
when you don't even know who's in the team?"

Donegal by Jack Harris even if it’s just for this one line. ”to a place where your lips kiss away a mans reason and sing all his tempers to sleep”
Must confess prior to involving myself on this subject,I new nothing of Jack Harris,just watched him on u tube,what an artist,loved his music superb guitar player,just shows the wealth of talent that sits just below the surface of the major recording stars.
I think that Kris Kristofferson has written many, many songs with brilliant lyrics. Sunday morning coming down and Loving her was easier than anything I’ll ever do being two of many wonderful examples.

Kris Kristofferson. Wasn't he once married to Rita Ritacoolidge? And he appeared with Bob Bobdylan in the film Pat Patgarrett and Billy the Billykid

I got hit by a bow and arrow
Got me down to the very marrow
And I'm real, real gone
I can't stand up by myself
Don't you know I need your help
And I'm real, real gone
You can make it on your own
Oh you can make it if you try
I know better now
You can't stand up alone
Oh baby that is why
I can't stand up by myself
Don't you know I need your help
You're a friend of mine
And I'm real, real gone
And the night is filled with space
And your fingertips touch my face
You're a friend of mine
And I'm real, real gone
Oh Lord I got hit by a bow and arrow
Got me down to the very marrow
You're a friend of mine
And I'm real, real gone
And I'm real, real gone
I'm real gone
