Probably not the greatest but three that spring to mind

Son, she said, have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy was nothin’ but a…
While you were sittin’ home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dyin’, sorry you didn’t see him…
2
Out here in the fields
I farm for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don’t need to fight
(To prove I’m right
I don’t need to be forgiven)
1
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I can see everything tonight
I got a room where everyone
Can have a drink and forget those things
(That went wrong in their life)
“ The wind is the whisper of our mother the Earth
The wind is the hand of our father the sky
The wind watches over our struggles and pleasures
The wind is the goddess who first learned to fly”
“ Within myself
There are a million things
Spilling over
Falling out into a silent stream
Feel the warm wind touch me
Hear the waters crashing
See my windows wiping clean
It’s my recurring dream”
“ world turns black and white
Pictures in an empty room
Your love starts fallin’ down
Better change your tune
Yeah, you reach for the golden ring
Reach for the sky
3 - Living on the road my friend
Was gonna keep you free and clean
And now you wear your skin like iron
And your breath as hard as kerosene
2 - Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time. For ya’ll have knocked her up. I have tasted the Maggots in the mind of the universe. I was not offended, for I knew I had to rise above it all or drown in my own $hit…
1 - The night I was born
The Moon turned a fire red…
Now I gotta give a mention to this…
“I woke up in morning andI got myself a beer
I said I woke up in morning and I got myself a beer
The future’s uncertain and the end is always near”
Not an opening line. But it’s so simple. So rocken fucken roll. And so infinitely cool.
3 Some say the end is near.
Some say we’ll see Armageddon soon.
Certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this bullshit three-ring circus sideshow of freaks.
2 When I was a young man I carried my pack
And I lived the free life of a rover
From the murrays green basin to the dusty outback
I waltzed my matilda all over
1 I can’t remember anything
Can’t tell if this is true or a dream
Deep down inside I feel the scream
This terrible silence stops me
Insect lust or insect love, there’s no telling them apart if you’re not a bug.
But from down here I can see the gears
The guts of the watches, molecular tiers.
Now, if you’re a bug in insect love then you only do things with other bugs.
But if it’s lust (and survival’s a must) then the things that you do are to other bugs.
There are laws built into the nest and this is the crux of it.
But how do you apply this to the world?
We are given too much room to be expected to do only good.
We are more curious than bold.
Tonight I’m coming home in a coma if it ■■■■■■■ kills me
Listless but relieved, beaming like a newborn hostage
Orphaned by an ambulance
I got this new black eye just for you.
Thoughts are the shadows of feelings
Always darker, emptier, and simpler
I don’t care if they’re fake or real
I just thank them for showing up at all
I have black periods Who does not?
But they are not a part of me
They are not a part of illness, but a part of my being
What am I saying?
I have the courage to have them
Four o’ clock in the morning
This sucks
3 I’ve been trying to show you over and over…
2 I broke free on a Saturday morning I put the pedal to the floor
1 The heat is so great it plays tricks with the eyes, it turns road into water then from water to sky
Hoodoo Gurus:
“And another thing,
I been worrying lately:
Am I crazy to believe in ideals?”
Existential angst following the biggest non sequitur ever.
Votes 2. SPARKS:
“Zoo time, it’s she and you time.
The mammals are your favourite type and you want her tonight.
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat…
As twenty cannibals have hold of you, they need their protein just like you do…”
(“This Town Ain’t Big Enough For the Both of Us”, off their 1973 Album, Kimono My House)
Votes 1.
Kinks:
“I met her in a pub down in north Soho
where they drink champagne
and it tastes just like cherry cola
C-O-L-A cola… la la la la LO-LA”
Just a quick drive by on my way to bed. Will have thought of a totally different set by morning…
3 - On a hot summer night would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
2 - Out here nothing changes
Not in a hurry anyway
You can feel the endlessness
With the coming of the light of day
Talk about a chosen place
They want to sell it in the marketplace
Just a minute now
1 - Sydney, 1926, this is the story of a man
Just a kid in from the sticks, just a kid with a plan
St George took a gamble, played him in first grade
Pretty soon that young man showed them how to flash the blade
You come home late and you come home early
You come on big when you’re feeling small
You come home straight and you come home curly
Sometimes you don’t come home at all
All the Best
I wish you love
And happiness
I guess I wish
You all the best
I wish you don’t
Do like I do
And ever fall in love with
Someone like you
Cause if you fell
Just like I did
You’d probably walk around the block like a little kid
But kids don’t know
They can only guess
How hard it is
To wish you happiness
Once I smoked a Danneman cigar
I drove a foreign car
Baby, that was years ago
I left my heart to the sappers round Khe Sanh
And I sold my soul with my cigarettes to the blackmarket man
I’ve had the Vietnam cold turkey
From the ocean to the Silver City
And it’s only other vets could understand
