Great lines in a song

Tried talkin to Jesus, he just put me on hold.
Said he was swamped with calls this week, and could not shake his cold.
Still this emptyness persists
Perhaps this is as good as it gets.

And strap your hands across my engines

saw him at newcastle football groud fantastic

The british police are the best in the world

sing if your glad to be gay...the tom robinson band

She cuts you hard, she cuts you deep,
She's got so much skill
She's so fascinating that you're still there waiting
When she comes back for the kill
You've been slashed in the face
You've been left there to bleed
You want to run away
But you know you're gonna stay
'Cause she gives you what you need
Then she says she wants affection
While she searches for the vein
She's so good with her stiletto
You don't really mind the pain

They don't carry guns do they?

There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings

And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations.
They're quite aware of what they're going through.

Do you write songs or play an instrument?

Brilliant line from Bowie!!!

I get up!
And nothing gets me down
You got it tough!
I've seen the toughest around
And I know!
Baby just how you feel
You've got to roh-oh-oll with the punches
And get to what's real

-Van Halen

My smile is my make up I wear since my break up with you

YouTube

hate your neighbor but don't forget to say grace

Breathe deep the gathering gloom.
Watch lights fade from every room.
Bedsitter people look back and lament,
another day's useless energy spent.
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one;
lonely man cries for love and has none.
New mother picks up and suckles her son;
senior citizens wish they were young.
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night;
removes the colors from our sight,
red is grey and yellow white.
But we decide which is right...
and which is an illusion.

Excellent!

...She's wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor
And she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love and they wil lean that way forever...
