A million old soldiers will fade away
But a dream goes on forever
I’m left standing here, Ive got nothing to say
All is silent within my dream
I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I’ll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I’d be without you

It’s been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away…

Are teenage dreams so hard to beat
The distant echo of faraway voices boarding faraway trains
Finished with my woman as she couldn’t help me with my mind
Hello, is there anybody in there, just nod if you can hear me
October and the trees are stripped bare of all they wear

People ask me questions ‘bout the way I’ve spent my life.
Thirty years in showbiz, only had one wife.
Limousines an’ swimmin’ pools, I didn’t get my share,
But I’m not downhearted. I am not downhearted.
I’m not downhearted, but I’m gettin’ there.
Well they’re still racing out at the trestles
But that blood it never burned in her veins
Now I hear she’s got a house up in Fairview
And a style she’s trying to maintain

Life is just a bowl of All-Bran you wake up every morning and it’s there

Each and every day, eating all that hay, moo baby

Oh no, I don’t believe it you say that you think you know the meaning of love; you say love is all we need; you say with your love you can change all of the fools, all of the hate
I think you’re probably out to lunch -
Either go away or go all the way in
A few of those go a bit beyond opening lines!
How about this:
Taumatawhakatangihangakoayauo-
Tamateaturipukakapikimaungahoro-
Nukypokaiwhenuakitanatahu
Matakuaitenakuakauamikitora
Me Tonto Kimosabi
Me go and catchee baddy

“Sometimes I feel Like I don’t have a partner”
“Just a perfect day”
“The gypsy woman told my mother”
From a song that I used to use for evaluating Hi-lines, the opening lines I listened to over and over again. They are now seared into my memory;
It’s a cheap hotel, the heat pipes hiss
The bathroom’s down the hall and it smells like piss

A Different Mary
“When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me”
A seasoned witch could call you from the depths of your disgrace
And rearrange your liver to the solid mental grace

Look for a while at the china cat sunflower
Proud walking jingle in the midnight sun
Copperdome bodhi drip a silver kimono
Like a crazy quilt star gown through a dream night wind

Early one morning the sun was shining, I was laying in bed, wondering if she’d changed at all, if her hair was still red

I was driving across the burning desert, when I spotted six jet planes

Is this the real life?

Walking across the sitting-room, I turn the television off

…Gold road’s sure a long road
Winds on through the hills for fifteen days
The pack on my back is aching
The straps seem to cut me like a knife…
…I don’t need no walls around me
And I don’t need no drugs to calm me…

I met him on a Monday and my heart stood still
And as if that wasn’t brilliant enough, we soon get the greatest rhyming couplet in musical history:
Yes, my heart stood still
Yes, his name was Bill

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin’ for a train
And I’s feelin’ near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
It rode us all the way to New Orleans.
Dare you not to sing the rest lol !!!
