What are your favorite clever (or not) lines from songs. Those lines that give you a giggle, start, or whatever, every time you hear them. Here's a few of mine.. Some are just fun, some funny, and some I just like.
[list]
[*]'Cuz we had discussed it 'Til I was disgusted - Colin James
[*]OK you think you got a pretty face, but the rest of you is outa place - Sweet
[*]Some sweet talkin' mama with a face like a gent, Said my get up and go musta got up and went - Aerosmith
[*]Girl before I met you I was F.I.N.E. fine - Aerosmith
[/list]
I'm sure there are more, but that's a start to get the ball rolling. |

My ability to communicate, has dwindled with the fog,
I got a big old fence around the yard, to keep out the neighbor's dog,
I got a 58 Impala, but there's weeds growin out the trunk,
Nothin ever gets done around here, they say I'm always drunk,
But Daddy's eyes, are going blind
Yeah Daddy's eyes, are going bilnd
My wife up and left me, and took our little girl
She blames me, I blame her, we both blame the whole damn world,
But she finds me so resistable, must be what I have become,
I guess in all the years we had, we used up all the fun,
Daddy's eyes, are going blind
And they used to, see just fine

If we hear their heartbeat
We are all water from

That’s why it’s so easy to meet
We are all water in this vast,
vast ocean
Someday we’ll evaporate
together

Writer: Hugh Prestwood
I don't pick up the mail
I don't pick up the phone
I don't answer the door
I'd just as soon be alone
I don't keep this place up
I just keep the lights down
I don't live in these rooms
I just rattle around
I'm just a ghost in this house
I'm just a shadow upon these walls
As quietly as a mouse I haunt these halls
I'm just a whisper of smoke
I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire
That once burned out of control
You took my body and soul
I'm just a ghost in this house
I don't care if it rains
I don't care if it's clear
I don't mind staying' in
There's another ghost here
He sits down in your chair
And he shines with your light
And he lays down his head
On your pillow at night
I'm just a ghost in this house
I'm just a shadow upon these walls
I'm living proof of the damage heartbreak does
I'm just a whisper of smoke
I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire
That once burned out of control
And took my body and soul
I'm just a ghost in this house
Oh, I'm just a ghost in this house |

And I did not buy no rose.
But I wrote this song instead and I call it,
"Popsicle Toes".
Popsicle toes.
Popsicle toes are always froze.
Popsicle toes.
You're so brave to expose all those popsicle toes.
You must have been Miss Pennsylvania
With all this pulchritude.
How come you always load your Pentax
When I'm in the nude?
We oughta have a birthday party,
And you can wear you birthday clothes
We can hit the floor
And go explore those
Popsicle toes.
You got the nicest North America
This sailor ever saw.
I'd like to feel your warm Brazil
And touch your Panama
But Your Tierra del Fuegos
Are nearly always froze.
We gotta see saw
until we unthaw those
Popsicle toes.
Popsicle toes.
Popsicle toes are always froze.
Popsicle toes.
You're so brave to expose all those popsicle toes

There's a Canadian joke (maybe it's been translated for the northern states too) about Trudeau waking up and finding "Trudeau is an ass!" peed in the snow outside his bedroom window. He has the RCMP investigate the incident.
The head of the RCMP reports back in three days, "Mr Prime Minister, after DNA analysis we have determined that the urine in the snow writing belongs to the leader opposition, Joe Clark."
"Why that's disgusting!" says Trudeau. "something I would expect maybe from a street hooligan, not the leader of a respected national political party."
"It's worse than that Mr. Prime Minister." continues the chief. "The message is in Margarets handwriting." |

To the things that you are saying, who do you think's gonna hear.
And if you should die explaining how the things that they complain about
Are things they should be changing, who do you think's gonna care.
There were other lonely singers in a world turned deaf and blind
Who were crucified for what they tried to show.
And their voices have been scattered by this world and winds of time,
