One man used his mighty voice to call

Was all for one, and baby, one for all

 

Bullets rang and he lost his life

It was a bloody day here in paradise

Paradise

It ain't hard to find

Lookin' out your window at the world outside

Paradise

It ain't far away

Here in my head it's just another day

Here in paradise

 

Now, cardboard boxes line these city streets

Playin' home for the hearts full of miseries

I got a room with a view that's nice

Just living on the hard side here in paradise

 

Yeah

Well, baby I was wrong

I should have said those things

I should have brought you flowers, love and wedding rings

I walk alone and I pay the price

For livin' on the wrong side of paradise

 

And I'm falling for paradise

And I'm falling for paradise

 

~BoDeans, Paradise (1991)

Down in C#$t Valley where jism does flow

and the co#^suckers fork for a nickel a blow,

That's where I met Lupe the girl I adore

she's a hot f##king, co##sucking Mexican whore

If you had not have fallen

Then I would not have found you

 

You're breakin' my heart

You're tearing it apart so !@#$ you

 

 

The old man was covered with tattoos and scars

He got some in prison and others in bars

 

You can tell the world you never was my girl

You can burn my clothes when I'm gone

Blind Melon.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

 

Yes.

 

Please allow me to introduce myself, I’m a man of wealth and taste.

 

Great one.

 

A few of mine:

 

"It's been a long time since I rock and rolled" - Led - Rock and Roll. Just the way it starts out the whole album with that great rockin tune. Awesome.

 

"I seem to recognize your face, haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it" - Pearl Jam - Elderly Woman...
