(Paul Westerberg) - Sixteen Blue: "Drive yourself right up the wall, no one hears and no one calls, it's a boring state, it's a useless wait, i know...drive your ma to the bank, tell your pa you've got a date, you're lying...try to figure out, they wonder what next you'll pull, you don't understand anything sexual..."

(Mick Jagger/Keith Richards)- Sympathy for the Devil: "Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste/ Pleased to meet you, try to guess my name; what's puzzlin' you is the nature of my game." (look at Tumblin Dice too).

(Joe Strummer)- Lost in the Supermarket: "I wasn't born so much as I fell out, nobody seemed to notice me; I heard the people who lived on the ceiling, scream and fight most scarily, hearing that noise was my first ever feeling, that's how it's been all around me; I'm all lost in the supermarket, I can no longer shop happily, I came in here for that special offer, a guaranteed personality."

(Morrissey)- Girlfriend in a coma: "Girlfriend in a coma, i know, i know, it's really serious...there were times when i could have murdered her but you know i would want nothing to happen to her."

(Maynard Keenan)- Prison Sex: "It took so long to remember just what happened/ but i'm breathing so i guess i'm still alive, even if signs seem to tell me otherwise/ do unto others what has been done to me/ i'm treading water, i need to sleep awhile/ my lamb and martyr, you look so precious now/ i need you to feel this too/ i've come round full circle."

(Tom Waits)- Fall of Troy: "It's the same with men as with horses and dogs, nothing wants to die/ Troy's killer was never caught they say/ young Nick he just went bad that day/ now, he'll have to find his own way home, boys/ why cook dinner, why make my bed, why come home, at all?/ it's hard to say grace and sit in the place, of someone missing at the table."

(Paul Simon)- Graceland:"She comes back to tell me she's gone/ As if I didn't know that/ As if I didn't know my own bed/ As if I'd never noticed the way she brushed her hair from her forehead/ And she said losing love is like a window in your heart/ Everybody sees you're blown apart/ Everybody sees the wind blow."

(Robbie Robertson)- The Weight:"I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead/ I just need some place where I can lay my head/ Hey, mister, can you tell me, where a man might find a bed/ He just grinned and shook my hand, "No" was all he said.

(Bob Marley)- No Woman, No Cry: "I remember when we used to sit in the govt. yard in Trenchtown/ In this great future you can't forget your past, so dry a tear as I say.../ We would cook cornmeal porridge of which I'll share with you/ My feet are my only carriage so I've got to push on through, but while I'm gone; Everything's gonna be alright."

(Tim Booth)- Say Something: "Take a drug to set you free, strange fruit from a forbidden tree, you've got to come down soon/ More than a drug is what I need, need a change of scenery, need a new life."

(Neil Young) - Heart of Gold: "I want to live, i want to give/ I've been a miner for a heart of gold/ It's these expressions i never give/ That keep me searchin' for a heart of gold; and i'm gettin old."

(Prince)- Nothing Compares 2 U: "It's been 17 hours and 13 days since you took your love away; I go out every night and sleep all day since you took your love away; Since you been gone i can do whatever i want, i can see whoever i choose; I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant but nothing can take away these blues; because nothing compares 2 U."

(Inspector Deck)-C.R.E.A.M.:"It's been twenty-two long hard years of still strugglin; Survival got me buggin but I'm alive on arrival; I peep at the shape of the streets; A man with a dream with plans to make C.R.E.A.M., Which failed; I went to jail at the age of 15; The court played me short, now I face incarceration; Pacin; going up state's my destination."

(Billy Corgan) - Disarm: "Disarm you with a smile and cut you like you want me to / cut that little child, inside of me and such of part of you...Disarm you with a smile and leave you like they left me here, to wither in denial,the bitterness of one who's left alone...the killer in me is the killer in you, send this smile over to you...

(Billy Corgan) - Stumbleine:"Boredom's in the bathroom shaking out the loose teeth...jukebox f*&kup, hangin round' the drugstore, no matter what you say, he'll be back for more; no matter what you do, they'll never get to you, so fake it, i'll be you'll stumbleine, i'll be your superqueen, and make you, me..."

(Steve Earle) - South Nashville Blues: "i went downtown it was just to ease my pain / i took my pistol and a hundred dollar bill, i had everything i needed to get me killed / now, southside girls, they suit me just fine, long' as i got money they don't whine / and i won't be satisfied till they lock me up again"

(Ice-T)-New Jack Hustler:"in my brain i got a capitalist migraine/ imagine that, me workin' at mickey d's/ all i love's my dope and dead presidents/ i had nothing-& i wanted it-you had everything & you flaunted it/ got me twisted-jammed into a paradox-every dollar i get another brother drops/ is this a nightmare or the american dream? life is weighed on the scales of a triple beam"

(Vedder)-Footsteps:"Don't even think about reachin me/I won't be home/I did what I had to do/If there was a reason-it was you/Don't even think about gettin' inside/Voices in my head/I got scratches all over my arms/One for each day since I fell apart/Footsteps in the hall-it was you/Pictures on my chest-it was you/And if there's something you'd like to do/Just let me continue to blame you."
