[Dr_Zaius]

I had all and then most of you,

Some and now none of you

 

[Phil Elliott]

I ain't as good as I once was.

But I'm good once as good as I ever was.

 

[gitmo]

Mommy, Daddy...Look at me

I went to school and I got a degree

All my friends call it the big D

I went to school and I I got the big D

I got the big D,

I went to school and I got the big D

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Can’t complain, mustn’t grumble

Help yourself to another piece of Apple crumble

 

[northern exposure]

1) All my friends from school
Introduce me to their spouses
While I'm left standing here
With my hands down the front of my trousers

I just don't know what's to be done
I wonder sometimes how did Dad meet Mum
And how did they conceive of me
Tell me Mary

2) The temptation
To take the precious things we have apart
To see how they work
Must be resisted for they never fit together again

 

[Leroy Hoard]

We're too young to reason, too grown up to dream.

 

[timschochet]

Well the first days are the hardest days don’t you worry anymore

Cause when life looks like easy street there is danger at your door 

 

[Cjw_55106]

The years go fast and the days go so slow

Remarkably similar:

I believe that days go slow
And years go fast
and every breath's a gift
The first one to the last

 

[nirad3]

Bread's "Everything I Own"

And I would give anything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again

 

[CGRdrJoe]

frank black “Calistan”

Used to be sixteen lanes
Used to be Juan Wayne
Used to Mexicain
Used to be Espano Nuevo
Used to Navajo
Used to be yippie-ay-I-don't-know.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Damn Right I've Got the Blues

 

[El Floppo]

A dulcet man with a dolcet tone from a dulcet town and a dolcet home.

He hates me- I like that.

 

[rockaction]

Once in a while I could show you the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right

 

[Steve Tasker]

I've had it with you,
And Mexico can ####### wait

 

[skol asylum]

Two lines, same song.

High or low... Where'd ya go

Are you stuck in the middle?

A spectral invisible ghost

&

Divisions came and troubles multiplied
Incisions made by scalpel blades of time

 

[Chaos Commish]

Clean this mess up else we'll all end up in jail
Those test-tubes and the scale
Just get it all out of here

 

[DaVinci]

Wake up and smell the cat food in your bank account 

 

[Ignoratio Elenchi]

She got a big booty so I call her Big Booty

 

[Mister CIA]

Yeeeehaaaa!!!!!

Party
Get naked
Buy us beer

Throw furniture
Gin 'n Tonic
Get naked

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I'm not stealing your vision
You're just blind

 

[El Floppo]

We're too young to reason, too grown up to dream.

Too young to hold on
And too old to just break free and run

 

[Dr_Zaius]

I twist the truth, I rule the world, my crown is called deceit
I am the emperor of lies, you grovel at my feet
...
I am the politician, and I decide your fate

 

[Leroy Hoard]

I'm a freak, I like the girls with the boom
I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom

 

[El Floppo]

I'm a freak, I like the girls with the boom
I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom

Who's the boom king
Tell me now
I'm the boom king
He's the boom king

 

[rockaction]

Who's the boom king
Tell me now
I'm the boom king
He's the boom king

She's so hot, she's making me sexist.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

I'm friends with the president
I'm friends with the pope
We're all making a fortune
Selling Daddy's dope

 

[Summer Wheat]

Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me

 

[Quint]

Dig to ravage plain in sight.
Dig to horde the hallowed aid.
Praise is cheap but valid's right.
Take your treasure, stand in line.

 

[rustycolts]

Well I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison.  

 

[johnnycakes]

Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine

 

[Osaurus]

You do English
I'll do sums
You break fingers
I'll break thumbs
You play Dads
And I'll play Mums
You play glockenspiel
And I'll play drums

 

[El Floppo]

She's so hot, she's making me sexist.

Honestly, one of the most brilliant bit of lyric writing ever.

 

[Tin Cup]

Can you help me remember how to smile?
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on Earth did I get so jaded?
Life's mysteries seem so faded

 

[Navin Johnson]

I open my mouth and out pops something spiteful
Words are so cheap, but they can turn out expensive
Words like conviction can turn into a sentence

 

[Manster]

In this place that I call home
My brain's the cliff, and my heart's the bitter buffalo
 

 

[Manster]

You pick the place and I'll choose the time
And I'll climb the hill in my own way

 

[heckmanm]

Show a little faith, there’s magic in the night.

You ain’t a beauty but hey, you’re all right.

And thats all right with me.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Living in your own Private Idaho
Underground like a wild potato

 

[falguy]

So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do
Praying for the end of time,
So I can end my TIME with you!

 

[Barry]

Don't you look so surprised! Happy Birthday fxxxer

when you blow those candles out were going to kick you, kick you.

 

[Zegras11]

Wearing her face that she keeps in a jar by the door.  

 

[Zegras11]

Look at mother nature on the run in the 1970's

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Every Time You Go Away,  You Take a Piece of Meat With You.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it’s not a cry that you hear at night
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.

 

[Galileo]

Once in a while I could show you the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right

I actually opened this thread to post these lyrics, but I know it as Once in a while you get shown the light...  knowing the Dead, they probably sang it in a few ways over the years.  

 

[Soulfly3]

my neck

my back

 

[In The Zone]

I think her name is Lucy but they all call Loose
I think I thought I seen her on eighth and forty-deuce

 

[Mr. Mojo]

I shouted out "Who killed the Kennedys?"

When after all, it was you and me.

 

[timschochet]

She’s a nice girl, and I like her style but she’s a hunchback

I’m not a pretty guy, got a wooden eye, but she’s a hunchback 

I take her to the football game, she’s my little Notre Dame
