Flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy me to the moon, let me play among the stars…
Yeah, I had heard that!
“Midnight Sun” by Ella Fitzgerald and many others:
Your lips were like a red and ruby chalice warmer than the summer night,
The clouds were like an alabaster palace rising to a snowy height,
Each star it’s own aurora borealis suddenly you held me tight,
I could see the midnight sun.
^ Damn, that’s hot!
Seven thirty seven comin’ out of the sky
Won’t you take me down to Memphis on a midnight
Travelling Band–Creedence Clearwater Revival
It’s a lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand, made of sand
The Last Thing On My Mind–Tom Paxton
“On a morning from a Bogart movie,
In a country where they turn back time,
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime”
And Nazareth, Pennsylvania is 4 miles north of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania!
Let’s not forget:
This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend, the end
We can close the thread now! 
And in the end, the love you make is equal to the love you take…
(You knew someone was gonna do it, didn’t you?)
Ok, “Search and Destroy” is probably the right answer, but I can’t stop myself.
I got a letter from the government the other day. I opened it and read it. It said they were suckers. - Public Enemy, “Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos”
BABY, BABY, YOU SURE LIKE TO FUCK! - JSBX, “Full Grown”
She was smoking on a cigerette, talking 'bout the deficit…

From Dave:
Hello
I’ve waited here for you
Everlong
I’ve always heard it as “sailing heart-ships through broken harbors,” which is also how the song lyrics sites have it. I can’t say that one is better than the other as a song lyric.
Thanks Stu, liked yours too.
Down on Cyprus Avenue
With a childlike vision leaping into view
Clicking, clacking of the high heeled shoe

The opening line of the Hives’ “Come On!” is dynamite:
Come on!
The rest of the lyrics are great too.
*Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on! (come on!)
Come on! (come on!)
Come on! (come on!)
Come on! (come on!)
Come on! (come on!)
Come on! (come on!)
Come on! (come on!)
Come on! (come on!)
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on…
Everybody come on!*
“On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime”
“He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they’ll carry him away
He stopped loving her today”
I hear mariachi static on the radio
And the tubes, they glow in the dark
Seventy-three men sailed up from the San Francisco Bay
Rolled off of their ship, and here’s what they had to say
Nobody gonna take my car
I’m gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It’s gonna break the speed of sound
Whichever the hell it is - plus many ones. By miles my favourite Niel opening. Maybe partly because it kicks off such a great album, but it also completely stands on its own merit.
OUT HERE IN THE FIELDS,
I FOUGHT FOR MY MEALS*
