And I don’t want you and I don’t need you
Don’t bother to resist, or I’ll beat you
It’s not your fault that you’re always wrong
The weak ones are there to justify the strong
Bus Stop – The Hollies.
*Bus stop, wet day
She’s there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stops, bus goes
She stays, love grows
Under my umbrella*
Great scene setting in a few short words.
I was cutting the rug down at a place called The Jug with a girl named Linda Lou.
You know the rest… 
Like anyone, I knew a Dave
Drove a Plymouth shallow grave
Said “My girl don’t just walk; she unfurls.”
- “Everytime You Go,” The Tragically Hip
I was a Country radio DJ for a few years, and I always thought the opening line of George Strait’s “Baby’s Gotten Good at Goodbye” was a classic: “What a rotten day this turned out to be…”
From “Hallowed be Thy Name” by Iron Maiden:
I’m waiting
In my cold cell
As the bells begin to chime
From “Pot & Kettle” by the Rumjacks:
One smokey night in a darkened scullery
Down the river in a factory town
Where bad things happen and the walls are dripping
And ghosts are flittin through the cold hard ground
Something about the way you taste makes me want to clear my throat.
“Gut Feeling”, Devo
Once upon a time
Not long ago
When people wore pajamas
And lived life slow
She keeps Moet et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
‘Let them eat cake’ she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Kruschev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can’t decline
Killer Queen - Queen
They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
For trying to change the system from within
I’m coming now, I’m coming to reward them
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
more Leonard Cohen.
