“Working from seven til ELEVEN every night really makes life a drag. I don’t think that’s right.” - Led Zeppelin, “Since I Been Loving You.”

“And when it’s TWELVE o’clock, we climb the stair. We never knock, for nobody’s there- just me and my shadow.”

“Very superstitious, ladder’s about’ to fall. THIRTEEN month old baby broke the looking glass.”

“FOURTEEN joys and a will to be merry/married ( **different lyrics sites give both words!** ), and all of the things that we say are very sentimental, gentle wind, blowing through my life again. Sentimental lady, gentle one.”

“Cause when you’re FIFTEEN and somebody tells you they love you, you’re gonna believe them.” - Taylor Swift

“You’re SIXTEEN, you’re beautiful and you’re mine.”

“I Learned the truth at SEVENTEEN, that love was meant for beauty queens.” - Janis Ian

“I’m EIGHTEEN, and I don’t know what I want.” - Alice Cooper

“Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes… here comes your NINETEENTH nervous breakdown.”

“She’s a TWENTIETH century fox, shes a (boom boom) twentieth century fox!”

“Cat’s foot, iron claw. Neurosurgeons scream for more, at paranoia’s frozen door. TWENTY-FIRST century schizoid man.”

I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire  
I got a cobra snake for a necktie  
A brand new house on the road side  
And it’s a-made out of rattlesnake hide  
Got a brand new chimney put on top  
And it’s a-made outta human skull  
Come on take a little walk with me baby  
And tell me, who do you love?  
Who do you love?  
Who do you love?
