You guys know how it goes:

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the
Inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men
Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will
shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness
for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious
Anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers
And you will know
My name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So, from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

You can dispense with the pleasantries, Commander.
I am here to put you back on schedule

Let me sleep on it
Will you love me forever
Let me sleep on it
Will you love me forever
I couldn’t take it any longer Lord I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god and on my mother’s grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore, that I would love you to the end of time
So now I’m praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive

I don’t ever want to feel
Like I did that day

I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of taking off my shirt

She blinded me with science

Olivia the slave, got distracted on her way to grandmother’s house
A wolf in lamb’s clothing came
Blew her mind and changed her ways and now she’s turned out
Lost and turned out, lost and turned out

Trans Beatles characters:

Well, you should see Polythene Pam
She’s so good-looking but she looks like a man
Well, you should see her in drag dressed in her polythene bag

Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
And in the evening she’s a singer with the band

Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man

Yeek yeek! (woop, woop) why you all in my ear?
Talking a whole bunch of shit that I ain’t trying to hear!
Get back motherfucker, you don’t know me like that!
(Get back motherfucker You don’t know me like that)

I’m just a soul whose intentions are good.
Oh Lord, why must I always be misunderstood?

There’s a Bruce song for everything replete with elipses: Well, there she sits buddy just a gleaming in the sun…(Cadillac, cadillac) And the girls in their summer clothes

In the cool of the evening light

Pass me by…(Hey, little girlie, Don’t let ’em take me to the Cadillac Ranch…)

I’ve been on tenterhooks, ending in dirty looks
Listening to the Muzak, thinking ’bout this ‘n’ that
She said that’s that, I don’t wanna chitter-chat

Pump it up until you can feel it

There’s a smart young woman on a light blue screen
Who comes into my house every night
And she takes all the red, yellow, orange and green
And she turns them into black and white

Poor man wanna be rich
Rich man wanna be king
And a king ain’t satisfied

When the night’s quiet and you don’t care anymore
And your eyes are tired and there’s someone at your door
And you realize you wanna let go
And the weak lies and the cold walls you embrace
Eat at your insides and baby I ain’t no liar, I walk

So crazy right now

It’s the heart afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance
It’s the dream afraid of waking, that never takes the chance
It’s the one who won’t be taken, who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

It must have been cold there in my shadow

To never have sunlight on your face

You were content to let me shine, that’s your way

You always walked a step behind

So I was the one with all the glory

While you were the one with all the strength

A beautiful face without a name for so long

A beautiful smile to hide the pain

If that’s your boyfriend he wasn’t last night

Let’s get down to business, to defeat the Huns

Stupid is as stupid does

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

The only sung version of that I know is by the Waterboys. It feels like the sort of poem that loads of people should have set to music, but I’ve never heard of any more. Maybe Yeats is too modern.

You can’t handle the truth!

Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who’s gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know — that Santiago’s death, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives.

Well now way back in the bible, temptation’s always come along
There’s always somebody tempting somebody into doing something they know is wrong
Well they tempt you, man, with silver, and they tempt you, sir, with gold
And they tempt you with the pleasures that the flesh does surely hold
They say eve tempted Adam with an apple; man I ain’t going for that.
I know it was her pink Cadillac, crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back, oozing down the street
Waving to the girls, peeling out of sight
Spending all my money on a Saturday night
Honey, I just wonder what you do there in back of your pink Cadillac

James dean in a mercury `49
Junior Johnson runnin’ in the woods of Caroline
Even Burt Reynolds in a black trans am
Are gonna meet me down at the Cadillac ranch

Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up your engines, let ’em roar
Tearin’ up the highway like a big old dinosaur

In the day, we sweat it out on the streets
Of a runaway American dream
At night, we ride through mansions of glory
In suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on Highway 9
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin’ out over the line
Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back
It’s a death trap, it’s a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we’re young
`Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
Yes, girl, we were

Hey man you know I’m really okay
The gun in my hand will tell you the same
But when I’m in my car
Don’t give me no crap

‘Cause the slightest thing and I just might snap
When I go driving I stay in my lane
But getting cut off makes me insane

You gotta take a stand it don’t help to hide
If you hurt my friends, then you hurt my pride

On a dark desert highway

Riders on the storm
But, ah, I killed somebody
There’s a killer on the road

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful trip
That started on this tropic port
Aboard this mighty ship

Well, I know it wasn’t you who held me down
Heaven knows it wasn’t you who set me free
So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key

Doesn’t take much to make me happy
And make me smile with glee
Never never will I feel discouraged
Cause our love’s no mystery
Demonstrating love and affection
That you give so openly yeah
I like the way you make me feel about you baby
Want the whole wide world to see

High in the halls of the kings who are gone
Jenny would dance with her ghosts

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love’s gone behind

If you intend to die, you can do anything

You can get anything you want at Alice’s restaurant

I am sitting in the morning at the diner on the corner
I am waiting at the counter for the man to pour the coffee
And he fills it only halfway and before I even argue

This is not my beautiful house!

This is not my beautiful wife!

So you want to be a rock ‘n’ roll star?
Then listen now to what I say
Just get an electric guitar
Then take some time and learn how to play

And with your hair swung right
And your pants too tight
It’s gonna be alright

[Verse 2]
Then it’s time to go downtown
Where the agent man won’t let you down
Sell your soul to the company
Who are waiting there to sell plasticware

And in a week or two
If you make the charts
The girls’ll tear you apart

[Verse 3]
The price you paid for your riches and fame
Was it all a strange game?
You’re a little insane

The money, the game and the public acclaim
Don’t forget what you are
You’re a rock ‘n’ roll star

Do you denounce Satan, Michael?

Leave the gun, take the cannoli.

A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I’m a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald… striking. So, I’m on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one – big hitter, the Lama – long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga… gunga, gunga-lagunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he’s gonna stiff me. And I say, “Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.” And he says, “Oh, uh, there won’t be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.” So I got that goin’ for me, which is nice.

A sea was stormin’ inside of me
Baby, I think I’m capsizin’
The waves are risin’ and risin’
And when I get that feeling
I want sexual healing
Sexual healing is good for me
Makes me feel so fine, it’s such a rush
Helps to relieve the mind, and it’s good for us
Sexual healing, baby, it’s good for me
Sexual healing is something that’s good for me

We’re told that after the war The Nazis vanished without a trace

But battalions of fascists Still dream of a master race

The history books they tell Of their defeat at ’45

But they all came out of the woodwork On the day the Nazi died

They say the prisoner at Spandau Was a symbol of defeat

Whilst Hess remained imprisoned And the facists; they were beat

So the promise of an Aryan world Would never materialize

So why did they all come out of the woodwork On the day the Nazi died

The world is riddled with maggots The maggots are getting fat

They’re making a tasty meal of all The bosses and bureaucrats

They’re taking over the boardrooms And they’re fat and full of pride

And they all came out of the woodwork On the day the Nazi died

So if you meet with these historians I’ll tell you what to say

Tell them that the Nazis Never really went away

They’re out there burning houses down And peddling racist lies

And we’ll never rest again… Until every Nazi dies

Everything we do is grounded in whiskey tradition – up to a certain point. While we respect the old ways, we’re not afraid to improve on them. That’s why our Rye is unconventionally delicious. With a 95% rye mash bill, it’s aged in charred white oak barrels like other super premium ryes. But then we go one step further, finishing our Rye in vintage rum casks. This marries the already complex spiciness of the Rye with the sweet, balanced flavors of rum and cognac. Released in extremely small batches, our Rye is a rare treasure that disappears all too quickly.

Black child in America, the fact that I made it was magic
Black and beautiful, the world broke my momma heart, and she died an addict
God blessed me to redeem her in my thought, words and my actions
Satisfaction for The Devil, goddammit, he’ll never ever have it
This is for the do-gooders that the no-gooders used and then abused
For the truth tellers tied to the whippin’ post, left beaten, battered, bruised
For the ones whose body hung from a tree like a piece of strange fruit

A sea monster ate my ice cream!

Baby, I know you’re wondering
Why I won’t go over to your place
‘Cause I’m not too sure about how you feel
So I’d rather go at my own pace

And I know and you know that if we get together
Emotions will go to work
And I may do something I might regret the next day
And end the hurt

Oh, I don’t know
The way that I feel
I’m so afraid of a one night deal

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby
Because I need you tonight

Lately, you’ve been expressing to me
Just how much you want to make love
I want it just as much as you do
But will you still keep in touch?

You say I’m teasin’ but I do have a reason
Don’t let your feelings fade
‘Cause you will have me and sooner than you know it
If you could only wait
