"Subterranean Homesick Blues"
Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doing it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin' for a new friend
A man in the coonskin cap, in the pig pen
Wants eleven dollar bills, you only got ten
Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin' that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the D.A. Look out kid
Don't matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Don't tie no bows
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows
Oh, get sick, get well
Hang around a ink well
Hang bail, hard to tell
If anything is goin' to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail
Join the army, if you fail
Look out kid
You're gonna get hit
But losers, cheaters
Six-time users
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow leaders, watch the parkin' meters
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
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don't want to be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handles
LOL, good one.
I'll add another one of his thats one of my favorites...
I want to live alone in the desert
I want to be like Georgia O'Keefe
and one that seems very topical today and somewhat prescient. LOL...
I went home with a waitress the way I always do
How was I to know she was with the russians, too?
I was gambling in havana, I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns, and money
Dad, get me out of this
Almost cut my hairI'll start with a few that come to mind:
Eagles:
Standing on a corner in Winslow Arizona, such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flat bed Ford slowing down to take a look at me
Julie Roberts:
Men and mascara, they both run.
Buffett
If the phone doesn't ring, you'll know it's me.
Eagles:
You can spend all your time making money.
You can spend all your love making time.
Buffett:
If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane.
Tritt:
Here's a quarter, call someone who cares.
Joni Mitchell
See the geese in chevron flight flapping and racing on before the snow
They've got the urge for going and they've got the wings so they can go
Dylan
The pump don't work cause the vandals took the handles.
