Songs with Clever Lines

"I see my life in your rear view mirror"

"Rear View Mirror," Bill Danoff

Blow Up Your TV (Spanish Pipe Dream) (John Prine)

"I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve"

Subterranean Homesick Blues (Dylan)

"Oh, get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance
Learn to dance, get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift"

Under A Raging Moon  -  Roger Daltrey

Like a demon, I could feel the madness
Running through the crowd
We were freedom
From the moment that we hit the ground
And the wild man, he laid the thunder down.

A tribute to Keith Moon. 

The Beat Goes On/Switching To Glide - The Kings

"Nothing matters but The Weekend from a Tuesday point if view"

Part of the plan    Dan Fogelberg 

Was hard to pick just one verse but

this is Verse Five:

Your conscience awakes and you see

your mistakes

And you wish someone would buy

your confessions 

The days miss their mark and the

night gets so dark

And some kind of message comes

through to you

Some kind of message shoots through

Elton John - Rocket Man

"Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as Hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you didn't
And all this science, I don't understand
It's just my job, five days a week"

This one really strikes a cord with me since l was born in southern England.

Sitting in an English garden

Waiting for the sun

If the sun don't come you get a tan

From standing in the English rain. 

From I Am the Walrus - Beatles

"If we had love before, we can have it back once more."

Lost Without Your Love- Bread

That line was a killer after my first love left me. 

You just slip out the back, Jack

Make a new plan, Stan

You don't need to be coy, Roy

Just get yourself free

Hop on the bus, Gus

You don't need to discuss much

Just drop off the key, Lee

And get yourself free

50 Ways to Leave Your Lover  - Paul Simon
