Every day when I get home from work, I feel so frustrated, the boss is a jerk. So, I grabbed my sticks and go out to the shed and I banged on the drum like it was the boss' head. I don't want to work; I just want to bang on the drum all day.

I woke up in a Soho doorway, a policeman knew my name. He said, "You can go sleep at home tonight, if you can get up and walk away."

Good question Skifredo. There is one correct answer. The most poetic words sung by any hairless ape are:

Hush, my darling, don't fear, my darling,
The lion sleeps tonight
Hush, my darling, don't fear, my darling,
The lion sleeps tonight
Wah oh oh, wah oh oh, wah oh wimoweh
Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away
Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away

ROAR!!!

From The Card Cheat by the Clash. There’s something about the gusto in their delivery:

“From the Hundred Year War to the Crimea
With a lance and a musket and a Roman spear
To all of the men who have stood with no fear
In the service of the King”

This one isn’t a song it’s a poem
“ For my unconquerable soul. I have not winced nor cried aloud.
My head is bloody, but unbowed.”

"Dead Man Fall" - "Bang Your Drum"
I've been thinking about the things that are stuck inside in my head and I can’t get them out.
I've been waking at four in the morning, I don’t know why I can’t get back to sleep again tonight.
Keep banging on
Banging on your drum
Keep banging on
And your day will come
Keep banging on
Banging on your drum
And they will hear you

In this video, the guitarist was with the Sex Pistols.

I sit looking round, I look at my face in the mirror. I know I’m worth nothing, without you. In life, One and one don’t make two, one and one make one, and I’m looking for that free ride, for me, I’m looking for you!

I’ll pay any price just to get you, surrender my good life for bad. To find you, I’ll stand naked stoned and be stabbed. I call that a bargain……..

The best I ever had.

I just heard this song today and thought about this thread. The great lyrics are pretty much the whole song. So here it is... and have a drink on me, boys!

Whiskey, gin and brandy
With a glass, I'm pretty handy
I'm tryin' to walk a straight line
On sour mash and cheap wine

So, join me for a drink, boys
We're gonna make a big noise
Don't worry about tomorrow
Take it today
Forget about the check, we'll get hell to pay
Have a drink on me

I'm dizzy, drunk and fighting
On tequila, white lightnin'
Yeah, my glass is gettin' shorter
On whiskey, ice and water

So come on, have a good time
And get blinded out of your mind
Don't worry about tomorrow
Take it today
Forget about the check, we'll get hell to pay
Have a drink on me

"The Gardener's daughter stopped me on my way
On the day I was to wed
It is you who I wish to share my body with
She said"

Cat Stevens, "The Boy with the Moon and Star"

"I am just a poor boy but my story's seldom told,
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises.

All lies and just til a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest - lie, lie lie. Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie."

Now, down in Mexico they've got a little place called Boystown
Where a man's still a man if you know what I'm talkin' about
Well, I walked into the Cadillac bar and I laid my cash down
I said "there's plenty more where that came from" and the lights went out

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had

Then it comes to be
That the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Was just a freight train coming your way

If you don't start drinkin'
I'm gonna leave

clutch-the yeti

Across the plain I see a figure,
Every instant growing bigger.
Instinct tells me to run away
While faith proposes that I wave.
He approaches to a rod.
I whisper up a prayer to God.
The stranger asks me with a grin,
"Do you have the time my friend?
