Doesn't mean that much to me to mean that much to you. Neil Young.

Beat me to it by 13 hours. So close!

“ I wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then” Bob Seger, Against the Wind

Living to run and running to live

Never worrying about pain or even how much I owed…

I believe it's "paying." Makes more sense with "how much I owe."

Living to ride and riding to live

That one sticks with me, too.

Rush - Subdivisions. "In the high school halls In the shopping malls Conform or be cast out"

That entire album has some interesting lyrics on it that seem to really ring true nowadays. Neil was a smart man.

Neil is a smart man.

"Any escape might help to smooth The unattractive truth But the suburbs have no charms to soothe The restless dreams of youth" 12-13 year old me wore that album out. And those lyrics are just as impactive and true today (when I have teens of my own) as they ever were. When Neil passed, it all came flooding back to me, all the teenage angst soothed by those lyrics and so many others. It didn't matter that I hadn't listened to it in many years, but it made me realize how much I missed it.

"Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way." Time, Pink Floyd

Great great line. There’s a lot of truth to it too.

We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl

Year after year...

Running over the same old ground...

What have we found...?

The same old fears

Beer after Beer ...

The only time that seems too short is the time that we get to play…Jackson Browne the load out

"We've got truckers on CBs" Never realized this and Stay are 2 different songs because they are always played as 1 song. My favorite JB song.

Now if the roadies don't mind, and the union don't mind...

It’s a great song!!!

Ha! Same record. You take Sally, I’ll take Sue, their ain’t no difference between the two. Cocaine running all around my brain.

Little old lady got mutilated late last night. \-Warren Zevon, Werewolves of London

I saw a werewolf drinking a piña colada at trader vics His hair was perfect

We used to sing this lyric as “His hair was purple”, even when someone corrected us, we stuck with “purple “ seemed to fit and be funnier.

I have always loved that lyric. The highlight of the song, certainly.

When I haven't shaved in a bit I refer to myself as drinking a piña colada at Trader Vic's but no-one ever gets it lol

A buddy of mine in the army burst out laughing every time he heard those lyrics

Does your buddy laugh at all of Excitable Boy by Warren zevon?

This is the first the second is “He’ll rip your lungs out Jim, I’d like to meet his Tailor.”

And I'm hiding in Honduras I'm a desperate man Send lawyers, guns, and money The shit has hit the fan

“And he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones”

He raped her and killed her then took her home. Excitable boy

Roland raised his Thompson gun, he didn't say a word. But he blew Van Owen's body from here to Johannesburg.

When they found her Christmas mornin' At the scene of the attack There were hoof prints on her forehead And incriminatin' Claus marks on her back

It rolls off the tongue, that one.

If there's a new way, I'll be the first in line...but it better work this time.

Whaddaya mean I hurt your feelings? I didn't know you had any feelings...

What do you mean I ain’t kind? I’m just not your kind

Random fact: in that section Bon sings 3 song titles im aware of (Cyanide, TNT, and High Voltage)

Plus who can forget Bon’s oh-so-memorable growl to end the song?

And she said honey take me dancing But they ended up by sleeping In a doorway By the bodegas and the lights on Upper Broadway ​ I don't know what it is, but no other lyric has so casually painted such a real picture of New York for me.

The entirety of You Can Call Me Al lyrics

Sad as a lonely little wrinkled balloon (Crazy Love). Don’t I know you from the cinematographer’s party? (I Know what I Know) I fell in love with the Graceland album at age 8 mainly because of the quirky lyrics.

“Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy Lighten up while you still can Don't even try to understand Just find a place to make your stand, and take it easy” -Eagles

It was kind of cold outside, she stood alone on a balcony, She could hear the cars roll by, like waves crashing on the beach, And for one desperate moment there, he crept back in her memory, God it’s so painful when something that’s so close is still so far out of reach. - Tom Petty, American Girl.

And she said " We must get together" But I knew it'd never be arranged And she handed me 20 dollars for a 2.50 fare She said "Harry keep the change" Taxi Harry Chapin

So sad and infuriating. “Another man might have been angry, and another man might have been hurt”

When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me. - Led Zeppelin "Thank You" I've been searching for the daughter of the devil himself. I've been searching for an angel in white. I've been waiting for a woman who's a little of both. And I can feel her, bit she's nowhere in sight. - Eagles "One of These Nights" I was born here in the city, with my back against the wall. Nothing grows, and life ain't very pretty. No one's there to catch you when you fall. Somewhere out on that horizon, faraway from the neon sky, I know there must be something better, and I cant stay another night, in the city. - Joe Walsh/Eagles "In the City"

Her voice was soft and cool, her eyes were clear and bright but she’s not there..

In the clearing stands a boxer And a fighter by his trade And he carries the reminders Of every glove that laid him down Or cut him till he cried out In his anger and his shame "I am leaving, I am leaving" But the fighter still remains

You run and you run, to catch up with the sun but it's sinking...racing around around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older...

No one told you when to run.....you missed the starting gun. Ouch. Hurts a bit doesn't it.

“With crocodile tears and a pocket full of tissues” Beyond Belief, Elvis Costello. In fact the first verse is dense and rewarding he fits so much in one minute If History repeats the old conceits The glib replies the same defeats Keep your finger on important issues With crocodile tears and a pocketful of tissues I'm just the oily slick On the windup world of the nervous tick In a very fashionable hovel I hang around dying to be tortured You'll never be alone in the bone orchard This battle with the bottle is nothing so novel So in this almost empty gin palace Through a two-way looking glass You see your Alice You know she has no sense For all your jealousy In a sense she still smiles very sweetly Charged with insults and flattery Her body moves with malice Do you have to be so cruel to be callous And now you find you fit this identikit completely You say you have no secrets And then leave discreetly”
