After all those hours of listening, that is something I never considered !
I think Brel wrote Ne me quitte pas
Another song Nina Simone is absolutely fabulous at singing

He also wrote “Seasons in the Sun” - with French lyrics of course. 
Seriously, he wrote a number of great songs.

I always love the opening of verse 1 of Eminem’s My Name Is,
Excuse me
Can I have the attention of the class
For one second
Hi kids!
Do you like violence?
Wanna see me stick Nine inch Nails, through each one of my eyelids?
Wanna copy me and do exactly like I did?
I’m not a huge fan but it does kind of grab your attention.

I was walking down the high street when I heard footsteps behind me.

Something entirely different, probably only understood by baroque lovers±
´Kommt, ihr Töchter, helft mir klagen´.

So here we are once more, in the playground of the broken hearts. One more experience, one more entry in a diary self penned.

What a great question as there are so many!
“I’m waiting in my Cold Cell …”
“Generals Gathered in their Masses …”
“High Noon, Oh I’d Sell my Soul for Water …”
“There’s a Lady Who’s Sure …”
Seeing as I named my cat Dio, I will plump for the third one.

Damn, that’s the one I would pick! Beautiful 
Alternatively,
I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls

It’s the dangling conversation
Of the now late afternoon
The Baez version has been a favourite for over fifty years, I must get the original sometime

Rhyming masses with masses always amuses me, though I don’t know what else could have followed instead.
I was playing Stargazer in the car just yesterday!

I walked 47 miles of barbed wire, I use a cobra snake for a necktie
I got a brand new house on the roadside, made from rattlesnake hide
I got a brand new chimney made on top, made out of a human skull
Now come on, take a little walk with me, Arlene and tell me:
Who do you love?
The Juicy Lucy version is still the one I prefer.

Great thread. A couple more.
Here’s to the State of Mississippi
For underneath her borders, the devil draws no lines
If you drag her muddy rivers, nameless bodies you will find
Oh, the fat trees of the forest have hid a thousand crimes
The calendar is lyin’ when it reads the present time
Phil Ochs’ coruscating song about deep south racism and corruption
And the classic
You will not be able to stay home, brother
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag
And skip out for beer during commercials, because
The revolution will not be televised
