Fight and die (Lives in the Balance, Jackson Browne)
Who disappointed his A&R man by not producing something for the Top40?
The Western Union man, bad news in his hand, knocking at your door, of course. Had a telegram you didn’t need, said she didn’t care no more.
If I’m drinking free bubble up, what am I eating for dinner?
If it weren’t for the lies, lies, lies what couldn’t we have?
Where am I if I need a raincoat?
Eddie? His future was wide open.
I believe you would be the Master of Puppets.
I’m sleeping very soundly on a Saturday morning, dreaming that I’m Al Capone. What am I?
Q: You were brought into this world with a head full of what?
A head full of good ideas, so you walked out with Matthew Sweet.
Q: When you belong to the hands of the night, what’s on your side, and when?

If you’re Merle Haggard, you’re eatin’ that Rainbow Stew. (in a silver spoon!)
A couple more:
-Grand piano
-Wide, staring eyes
-A strong urge to fly
-Niccotine stains on your fingers
-Cigarette burns down the front of your favorite satin shirt
-Nowhere to fly to
-Fading roots
-and a silver spoon on a chain
Now,
I want a fragile little Jewish Princess (lalala).
Name some of her other requested qualities.
a nasty, hairy, darling, funkly, dainty little…
Who the fuck have I been living next door to for 24 years?
How often does granddaddy come to town?
Why did Pamela Brown like the guy she married?
Turkish delight, on a moonlight night.
Where is my date supposed to be, and where is she actually at?
Constantinople, but she’ll be waiting in Istanbul.
I don’t care if there’s chemicals in it…as long as my lettuce is what?
Crisp. Chemicals might be preserving you all, but that’s something I think you missed.
I wonder if she looks down on me, as she flies on by. What is she?
What do they say when we’re together, and what happens after we tumble to the ground?
They say, “Children, behave!”
And you say, “I think we’re alone now, there doesn’t seem to be anyone around.” You naughty thing.

Leroy got a better job so we moved. Kevin lost a tooth, now he’s started school. I got a brand new eight month old baby girl – I sound like a housewife. Where am I and how do I feel about it?

This place is very far, you can’t get there in a car.

If you like the taste of a lobster stew, served by a window with an ocean view, where do I recommend you go?

I’ve got one foot on the platform, the other foot on the train. Where am I going?
You’re in the largest state of the Union, of course; to be specific, Anchorage, Alaska. And I don’t know how you feel, but you certainly think you’re a housewife.
I’m in a boxcar, and I’m playing my guitar to pass some time. How’s the weather?
