won't you please whip it out - devil dogs
whip it out
woke up this morning, got myself a gun
I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste - tempted - squeeze
what a beautiful face i have found in this place that is circling all 'round the sun.
I got my first real six string, bought it at the Five and Dime
Punch you cheesebag, get real.
I spent aaaall my money in a Mexican whorehouse, 'cross the street from a Catholic Church...
my pears,
that's so obviously tom waits.
now that your picture's in the paper being rhythmically admired...
jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine.
fingernails are pretty
oh wait
"Oooooooh, I'm so agitated, so agitated.." The Electric Eels.
I like Rollins
this is a saaaad fucken song, probably lucky if i don't bust out cryin'
careful with that axe, eugene
"I'm a streetwalkin cheater with a heart full of napalm" Search and Destroy
"I'm an alligator, I'm a mama papa coming for you" Moonage Daydream
I like to be impressed in a hurry.

Your number's come up, honey...and so has my cock.
Whitehouse, Thank Your Lucky Stars
yeah..
yeah - kyuss
I decree today that life Is simply taking and not giving. England is mine, it owes me a living
Agreed. I have had this line repeating in my head for years.
''Two hundred fires are burning... and I've got the match!'' The Conformists Are These Flowers?
Here's a little thing that's gonna please ya Just a little town down in Indonesia Bangkok
-- Alex Chilton, Bangkok
Elvis Costello is the king of first line lyrics.
''Don't start me talking, I could talk all night....''
''Well I just don't know where to begin....''
''Well I heard there was a secret chord.''
I want to know where to find that secret chord; if it pleases God surely it'll be a smash on the Earthly plain.
In a similar vein, I've always been a fan of;
''I stepped into an avalanche, it covered up my soul''
Yo VIP lets kick it!
Not sure it's been said already but the opening line to Modern Lovers - Hospital is my fave at the moment. So weird and funny yet sad at the same time.
''When you get out of the hospital, Let me back into your life again''
The rest is empty with no brain, the clever nerd,
the best emcee with no chain, you ever heard
Figaro- Doom (Madvillainy)
More than one line but I've always liked:
And when it's dark he makes the highplains
On his quarter horse, with a canvas sack
And the stars they bleed together like the flames inside a forge
The Earth is molten, time is stretching on a rack
Yet he labours like a shadow across the meadows of the moon
A diver far beneath the breakers on the rocks
Highplains Mailman- Gareff Liddiard
This!
''You look like a fucking bat, you old slut, I really loathe vulgarity, so common.''
''To get up the bond for an inner west flat/He'd work for anybody if he wasn't working for her dad.''
Good stuff Monty, though I prefer this from later in the song:
''We might as well do it next week, cause we've met everybody that we're ever gonna meet''
''In 1984 I was hospitalized for approaching perfection'' - Silver Jews, American Water
cheers hellza, i think the whole conversation of that song is one of rogers best...through the 470 to circular quay, to mobiles homes and public phones....
sigh.
Yah, the mobile home and public phone line gets me every time. Pizza Guy stands out as one of his finest as well, from ''Grab a six pack on the way home'' to the one I adore ''Into the Datsun and go, to another Mass Appeal show.''... sigh indeed.
'the ashtray says you've been up all night....'
For you Monty (if a verse is allowed)
Hey wake up
Your eyes weren't open wide
For the last couple of miles
You've been swerving from side to side
You're gonna make me spill my beer
If you don't learn how to steer
