This whole thread could be Prine Lyrics.



Agreed...but to me, Sam Stone Lyrics hold so many.

"There's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes"

"He eased his mind in the hours that he chose, while his kids ran around wearing other people's clothes"

"But life had lost it's fun...and there was nothing to be done but trade his house that he bought on the G.I. Bill for a flag-draped casket on a local hero's hill".

Freaking amazing song start to finish....

"Well, I woke up Sunday morning with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt, and the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more for dessert"

Could be holding you tonight
Could quit doing wrong. start doing right
You don't care about what I think
I think I'll just stay here and drink

quote:


Oh, crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thoughts
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've got

You say you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
You just can't get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking-in-defence


The Living Years


quote:


Does anyone know
where the love of God goes
When the waves
turn the minutes to hours?
The searchers all say
they'd have made Whitefish Bay
If they'd put fifteen more miles
behind her


The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald

quote:


Caught between the longing for love
And the struggle for the legal tender
Where the sirens sing
and the church bells ring
And the junk man pounds his fender
Where the veterans dream of the fight
Fast asleep at the traffic light
And the children solemnly wait
For the ice cream vendor


The Pretender

quote:


Way back there in Jesus' time;
the Pharisees walked so proud-
They thought they had the way to God;
-they prayed their prayers out loud-

But Jesus said they had hell to pay;
for the pretense and the games they'd play

I’m glad that’s not like us today;
-we wouldn't act like that-


Chorus
Everybody else but me!
Everybody else but me!
He was talking to the hypocrites
and pharisees,
Everybody else but me!


I went to church one day last month,
the preacher-he preached real good-
Talked about 'true' commitment;
New Testament brotherhood

Talked about watching the things we say;
the gossip that can wound and slay

I sure wish Joe had been there that day;
-he really needed to hear it-


Everybody Else But Me

"Since the hour she left, he's been sober
And each breath that he draws makes him think
About the light of his life gone forever
When he traded her love for a drink" ~ Cheap Whiskey

What about the voice of Geddy Lee
How did it get so high?
I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy?

"20 years now, where they'd go?
20 years, I don't know."
-Seger

Not the greatest, but I love it because of the age my boys are and their love of fishing:

"Pine trees grow so tall in the bright sunshine,
A young boy steals his daddy's fishing line"

She is everything to me
The unrequited dream
A song that no one sings
The unattainable
She's a myth that I have to believe in
All I need to make it real is one more reason
