Members MarkBastable Posted May 20, 2012 Members Share Posted May 20, 2012 By the time I get to Phoenix.... Bless my cotton socks, I'm in the news.... I'm feeling so tired. Can't understand it. Just had a fortnight's sleep. Nothing to do to save his life - call his wife in... I may not always love you... I will leave behind all of my clothes that I wore when I was with you.... Sixteen and time to pay off... With her killer graces and her secret places that no boy can fill... Cheap cut satin and bad perfume. Showtime is almost here... Forgot my six-string razor, and hit the sky.... Or, if you want to stick with Iggy... I never got my licence to live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jimash Posted May 20, 2012 Members Share Posted May 20, 2012 I like my nonsense compacted into one song. Wolf City You are a pearl Without pity Your glory Is like ice cream Dripping on the skin of a girl And your voodoo-graph Is going to conquer the world While the greyhound Leans back in the president's chair And thousands of children On their way home Gasp for fresh air Your servants Set up a lean-horse-monument In the alley of cars A queue with no end And thousands of cows Rush into bars On a wall I see Many strange signs They say: Johnny B. Goode! "Wolf City" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bluesnapper Posted May 20, 2012 Members Share Posted May 20, 2012 It's not perfect... but the opening line is the best lyric ever.... I'm bored.... I'm the chairman of the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members docjeffrey Posted May 20, 2012 Members Share Posted May 20, 2012 OMFG some of you have hideous taste in music. Bad Co and Faces (or is it Small Faces?) in the same thread as Zep and the Beatles? There's only one correct answer and it's Satisfaction. Now go back to your Dashboard Confessional and Ben Folds Five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gt5litre Posted May 20, 2012 Members Share Posted May 20, 2012 The Plimsouls and a "Million Miles Away". Great vocals, great lyrics, anger and angst in the vocals.Lastly dirty punk guitars and beautiful ric tones to uplift the whole enterprise.

Members z28talon Posted May 20, 2012 Members Share Posted May 20, 2012 The greatest rock anthem of all time:"Won't Get Fooled Again" Definitely my first choice. Even better with seeing a live performance by The Who in their prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
