A list of my favorite song lyrics, in no particular order

1. Burn, burn like a wicker cabinet
2. Little old lady got mutilated late last night
3. Now the die is shaken / Now the die must fall
4. And the moon rose over an open field.
5. Oh my, my. Oh hell yes, You got to put on that party dress.
6. I don't care where you live at / Just turn around, boy, let me hit that
7. She held him up and he held her for ransom in the heart of the cold, cold city
8. I'm thinking about my doorbell, when ya gonna ring it?
9. Burn down the disco / Hang the blessed DJ
10. I'm just a notch on your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song
11. They cut off my legs, now I'm an amputee, god damn you
12. Touch me, I'm sick

13. And though your dreams may toss and turn you now
      They will vanish away like your dad's best jeans
      Denim blue, faded up to the sky
      And though you want them to last forever
      You know they never will
      And the patches make the goodbye harder still 
(I know, that's more like a verse than a lyric. Hey, it's my damn list. I can stretch the parameters when and how I choose.)

14. The redhead said you shred the cello, and I'm jello, baby
15. It ain't me you're looking for, babe.
16. Closer...let me whisper in your ear
17. Didn't we almost have it all?
18. When you're gone / Oh baby, all the lights go out
19. I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum
20. But "never" is a promise, and you can't afford to lie
21. Trust me when I say I know the pathway to your heart
22. Standing on the mudflats, watching the salmon fly
23. Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole
24. Oh, this old world keeps spinning 'round / It's a wonder tall trees ain't laying down

25. He was sitting behind us down at the Pantages
      and whatever it is that he's got up his sleeve   
      Well, I hope it isn't contagious

26. When I'm with you I feel like I could die and that would be alright
27. I know I've been wearing crazy clothes, and I look pretty crappy sometimes
28. Mama tried.
29. I just want to see some palm trees
30. If you had the real thing, how could you tell? Liars can say it all just as well.
31. Allison, I know this world is killing you
32. In the velvet darkness of the blackest night, burning bright, there's a guiding star
33. I know I could have loved you, but you would not let me
34. Don't touch me, I'm a real live wire.
35. It had to be you.
36. I'm-a set straight this Watergate
37. When Eddie said he didn't like his teddy, you knew he was a no-good kid

38. Trust me, I know, life is scary
      But just put those colors on, girl
      Come and paint the world with me tonight

39. I don't steal and I don't lie, but I can feel and I can cry, a fact I bet you never knew.
40. Ding-dong, the Witch is dead!
41. Help me believe in anything, 'cuz I wanna be someone who believes
42. And I'm just like, Damn, it's 7 am.
43. Every day is Christmas, and every night is New Year's Eve
44. Don't let him in, you'll have to kick him out again
45. You might think I'm crazy, that I'm lost and foolish, leaving you behind
        Maybe you're right
46. You're a black soldier, white fight
47. Grandfather watches the grandfather clock
