How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man? How many seas must the white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?

I can see you. Your Brown skin shining in the sun. You've got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby. I can tell you my love for you will still be strong. After the boys of summer have gone.
I'm sitting on the dock of the bay. Watching the tide rolling away. I'm sitting on the dock of the bay. Wasting time.
These braying sheep on my TV screen
Make this boy shout, make this boy scream....
Goodbye Norma Jean
Do they know its Christmastime at all
We're all goin on a ... :-)
GGTTH
There's no point in asking, you'll get no reply.
There must be some kind of way outta here
Said the joker to the thief
Please to meet you,
hope you guess my name.
The Rolling stones
Sympathy for the Devil
I’m an Edinburgh man myself :greengrin
The silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
And nobody’s gonna go to school today
She’s going to make them stay at home.......
Never chew a pickle
With a little slap and tickle
You have to throw the stone
To get the pool to ripple...
There’s been a load of compromisin’
On the road to my horizon
But I’m gonna be where the lights are shinin’ on me........
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Most of my heroes don’t appear on no stamps
My Maserati does 185 I lost my license now I don’t drive
With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue
Dissolve the nerves that have just begun
Listening to Marvin (all night long)
This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound........
Always slipping from my hands
Sand’s a time of its own
Take your seaside arms and write the next line
Oh I want the truth to be known......
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
Something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
God save the queen,
The fascist regime
The highway’s jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybody’s out on the run tonight but there’s no place left to hide
Together Wendy we can live with the sadness
I’ll love you with all the madness in my soul
Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking, screaming, Gucci little piggy.
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die.
In my mind my dreams are real
Now you're concerned about the way I feel
Tonight, I'm a rock n roll star
A broken antler points the way to the still pond where reflections of Bonnie Prince Charlie lie wounded in the shallow water :greengrin
Just before our love got lost you said I am as constant as the northern star, and I said 'constantly in the darkness. where's that at? if you want me I'll be in the bar'
We are the sultans of swing...
A few that instantly spring to mind are:
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality.
There are many things that I would like to say to you but I don't know how.
Well I've heard there was a secret chord, that David played and it pleased the Lord.
Once upon a time you dressed so fine, threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
Oh it's such a perfect day, I'm glad I spent it with you.
i'm worth a million in prizes, with my torture film, drive a G.T.O, wear a uniform, all on a government loan.
I wrote for luck
And they sent me you
Happy Mondays
I sold my medal
It paid a bill
Manic Stree Preachers
Jarvis had a few decent ones actually.. okay maybe I've just started thinking of ones I like rather than iconic. But I'm enjoying myself.:
"You will never understand how it feels to live your life with no meaning or control, and with nowhere left to go." - Pulp, common people.
"Let's do some living after we die" - Rolling Stones, Wild Horses.
"She was a fast machine, she kept her motor clean, she was the best damn woman that I ever seen." - ACDC, You shook me all night long (defo iconic that one)
"So how can you tell me that you're lonely and say for you that the sun don't shine?" Ralph McTell, Streets of London.
"Jimmy was a local boy but he's seen much more than a change in the weather." The Rifles, Local Boy.
"Never saw it as the start. It's more a change of heart." Ocean Colour Scene, the day we caught the train
Three great examples of the genius that is Tom Waits.
(Looking For) The Heart Of Saturday Night
Tell me is the crack of the pool balls, neon buzzin'?
Telephone's ringin', it's your second cousin
Time
And you’re east of East St Louis
And the wind is making speeches
And the rain sounds like a round of applause
Shiver Me Timbers
Where the clouds are like headlines
On a new front page sky
One day I'll cut my legs off
I'll burn myself alive
I'll do anything to get out of life to survive
Not ever to be next
Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay....
Son im thirty, I only went with your mother cause she's dirty.
