I can’t believe nobody’s mentioned the Rolling Stones’ “Midnight Rambler” *… I’m gonna smash through your plate glass windows … put a fist through your steel plated door … stick my knife right down your throat … *
“Silver Spoon” by Grace Slick & Paul Kantner (from their quasi-solo “Sunfighter” album) is about a housewife who keeps her bored husband titillated by committing cannibalism! (recorded in 1971, towards the end of their really heavy drug-using phase).
And then there’s:
“Down by the river/
I shot my baby/”
- Neil Young.
:smack: Oh, I can’t believe a) that I forgot this cool classic of classics and b) no one else has mentioned it yet, either:
Mack the Knife. Man, I always loved that tune (at least until McSatan started doing that deplorable “Mac Tonight” commercial with the stupid moon-headed dude)

The Stone Roses - Made of Stone:
I’m standing warm against the cold,
Now that the flames have taken hold,
At least you left your life in style,
And for as far as I can see,
Tin twisted grills grin back at me,
Bad money dies, I love the scene.
