Lyrics you find delightful for whatever reason

"Doomed to be a killah since I came out the nut-sack."

It's bad, I know, but I love it so much...

[dave from knoxville]

"If my thought dream could be seen
They'd probably put my head in a guillotine"

[JonFromMaplewood]

"I will carry you home in my teeth."

-Mountain Goats from "Grendel's Mother"

[Chris L]

"I'm just a squirrel trying to get a nut, so move your butt."  It calls to mind several of my interests. 

[theyellowchair]

"Yes, I will marry your daughter Janet/
by the truth of my right hand./
Yes, I will marry your daughter Janet/
but I'll not be the lord of your land."
-Willie O' Winsbury, trad.

Sort of plain taken out of context...but hearing that line delivered to the King who at one time wanted Willie hanged (and later confessed that he would indeed sleep with Willie if he "were a lady as he is a man") never fails to put a smirk on my face.

Curvy sticks and wooden poles
Assistin' you in pluggin' holes
Plug them holes
till you see
straight through to the mind's eye

Ween, "You Were the Fool"

and the blood is red
instead of sell-out green"

Than religion at my door"

[Trembling Eagle]

Far, far away there's a planet, inside a planet
There is a great mountain, in the mountain there is a lake
And in this great lake there's an island that no one knew
And there in the giant island was an old castle and ruins
Deep in the castle, in the courtyard is a well
Shaped like a capital L, I shouldn't tell
Ghostly echoes of the screams of the child who once fell
To break her neck and soak up the gongs of the church bell
Deep in the bottom of the well, water that rots
Is a little black pyramid far down in the slot
And inside that little black pyramid on that planet
I laugh in the dark for that pyramid holds my heart

- Warcloud (RobotTank)

Hey, daddy-o
I don't wanna go
down to the basement

There's somethin' down there
I don't wanna go

Hey, Romeo
There's somethin' down there
I don't wanna go
down to the basement

-Ramones, I Don't Wanna Go Down To The Basement

[To the question of whether you are ever sorry you got married]

You're always sorry,
You're always grateful,
You're always wondering
What might have been--
Then she walks in.

And still you're sorry,
And still you're grateful,
And still you wonder
And still you doubt--
And she goes out.

Everything's different, nothing's changed.
Only maybe slightly rearranged.

You're sorry-grateful,
Regretful-happy.
Why look for answers
When none occur?
You always are what you always were,
Which has nothing to do with, all to do with her.

-Stephen Sondheim, "Sorry-Grateful" from "Company"

[Regular Joe]

I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise,
they climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies.

- Styx

[TacoSmith]

"Birthdays was the worst days, now we sip champagne when we thirs-tay"

"Bogeyman came and guess what he said
He said the Maple Lady said you got a pointy head."
