But as bobmunro so rightly says.....there are so many.
You can hide neath the covers and study your pain,
Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain
Waste your summers praying in vain, for a saviour to rise from these streets
From bar, to street, to bookie
Beatles had a few - In my Life, Blackbird ......
Rush - Freewill
Springsteen - No Surrender
Lots of Floyd as Golfie says.
Impossible to list as others just stream into your mind - there are tracks you like for melody, instrumental arrangement, the big drums of Bonzo, the slow hand of God, riffs, baseline and so on. On the other hand, a track could be shit but the lyrics the highest form of prose.
Closer to the heart and Trees show what a fantastic lyricist Neal Peart is.
But my favourite is from Queen. "Told my girlfriend I had to forget her. Rather buy me a new carburettor".
Priorities.
Tin Soldiers. (Stiff Little Fingers )
England. ( Angelic Upstarts)
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind,
Until the night,
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
- Whiskey Lullaby.
The neighbors complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she's on top
Prodigy: Smack my bitch up
I loved the album Close to the Edge, also Leonard Cohen’s stuff, especially ‘Take this Waltz and Jimi Hendrix’s Wind Cries Mary. Lets face it, if the traffic lights turn a blue tomorrow, we’re all gonna have their emptiness shine on our beds.
I no longer look for hidden meaning, mystery or intrigue. Age has bought acceptance - or maybe that’s just fatigue … Hey that sounds like a song, where’s my guitar?
What's keeping the White House white
Is it chalk, is it fog, is it fear?
Are they staying up most of the night
And sending somebody out for a beer?
Is it bed-time for Bonzo?
Is it time for a change?
Is it flavour-free TV dinners?
It's a hard thing to take, when they make a mistake
America for Beginners
I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them but they were only satellites
Is it wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care
get up, get up, get out of bed,
cheer up, cheer up, the sun is red,
Live, love, laugh and be happy.
Freeing excellence affects reality
Fallen empires are ruling
Find earth and reap
Fantastic expectations
Amazing revelations
Final execution and resurrection
Free expression as revolution
Finding everything and realizing
...And I dreamed I saw the bomber death planes
Riding shotgun in the sky,
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation......
War, good God, what is it good for.... absolutely nothing'
Put 'em in a tree museum
Charged the people a dollar and a half
Just to see 'em"
The divine Joni
The more I know the less I understand
