Anybody have some personal favourites? I have a few I like, witty, poignant, funny etc.
A couple of my favourites.
How I wish, how I wish you were here We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl Year after year Running over the same old ground What have we found? The same old fears Wish you were here
and And I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say That you don't ever want to see me again And your brother's gonna kill me and he's six feet ten followed by I see you've sent my letters back And my L.P. records and they're all scratched

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.
On the National Express there's a jolly hostess Selling crisps and tea She'll provide you with drinks and theatrical winks For a sky-high fee Mini-skirts were in style when she danced down the aisle Back in '63 (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) But it's hard to get by when your arse is the size Of a small country
The Divine Mr Hanlon! See also the greatest song about cricket ever, about the greatest delivery in cricket ever, written from the perspective of the batsman, Mike Gatting:
The Duckworth Lewis Method - Jiggery Pokery
'Twas the first test of The Ashes series 1993 Australia had only managed 289 and we Felt all was going to plan, that first innings at Old Trafford Then Merv Hughes and his handlebar moustache dismissed poor Athers
I took the crease to great applause and focused on me dinner I knew that I had little cause to fear their young leg spinner He loosened up his shoulders and with no run up at all He rolled his right arm over and he let go of the ball
It was... Jiggery pokery, trickery chokery, how did he open me up? Robbery! Muggery! Aussie skull duggery, out for a bug gering duck What a delivery, I might as well have been holding a contrabassoon Jiggery pokery, who was this nobody making me look a buffoon? Like a blithering old baffoon...
At first the ball looked straight enough, I had it in my sights But such was its rotation that it swerved out to the right I thought "Well that's a leg break, that's easily defended" So I stuck my left leg out and jammed my bat against it
But the ball it spun obscenely and out of the rough it jumped Veered back across my bat and pad, clipping my off stump It took a while to hit me, I momentarily lingered But then I saw old Dickie Bird slowly raise his finger
It was... Jiggery pokery, trickery chokery, how did he open me up? Robbery! Muggery! Aussie skull duggery, out for a bug gering duck What a delivery, I might as well have been holding a childs balloon Jiggery pokery, who was this nobody making me look a buffoon? Like an accident prone babboon
How such a ball could be bowled, I don't know but if you asked me If it had been a cheese roll it would never have got passed me
It was... Jiggery pokery, trickery chokery, how did he open me up? Robbery! Muggery! Aussie skull duggery, what in the bug gery f... Was his delivery, I might as well have been holding a cob of corn Jiggery pokery, who was this nobody making me look so forlorn? I hate Shane Warne!
RIP (one out of the rough in heaven) Shane Warne.
If you like cricket and haven't come across Duckworth Lewis Method, they are the gift that will keep on giving. Two albums of many different musical styles evoking great characters and moments from cricket, and at other times ruminating on some of the more obscure terminology, prog rock style!
"I did my best, it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I learned to touch" Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen
"You see a mousetrap, I see free cheese and a f'ng challenge" Introdiction - Scroobius Pip
"I used to hate the sun Because it shone on everything I'd done. Made me feel That all that I had done Was overfill the ashtray of my life." Sunrise - Pulp
"When you punish a person for dreaming his dream, don't expect him to thank or forgive you" The Best Ever Death Metal Band out of Denton - The Mountain Goats
"Some things you do just to see How bad they'll make you feel Sometimes you try to freeze time 'Til the slots are a blur of spinning wheels
But I am just a broken machine And I do things that I don't really mean"
Cry For Judas- The Mountain Goats
"The first time I made coffee for just myself, I made too much of it But I drank it all just 'cause you hate it, when I let things go to waste And I wandered through the house like a little boy, lost at the mall And an astronaut could've seen the hunger in my eyes from space"
Woke Up New - The Mountain Goats
"I'm in the living room watching the watergate hearings while my step father yells at my mother. launches a glass across the room, straight at her head and I dash upstairs to take cover. lean in close to my little record player on the floor. so this is what the volume knob's for." Dance Music - The Mountain Goats
Scroobius Pip is absolute genius! I have a T shirt with the mousetrap line, sadly in a Small size so unlikely to have much future wear.

John Grant. Utterly magnificent performer. May not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I’d drink a gallon and be queuing up for more.
GMF You could probably say I'm difficult I probably talk too much I over-analyze and over-think things Yes, it's a nasty crutch I'm usually only waiting for you to stop talking So that I can Concerning two-way streets I have to say That I am not a fan
Queen of Denmark I wanted to change the world But I could not even change my underwear And when the sh!t got really, really out of hand I had it all the way up to my hairline Which keeps receding like my self-confidence As if I ever had any of that stuff anyway
Glacier This pain It is a glacier moving through you And carving out deep valleys And creating spectacular landscapes And nourishing the ground With precious minerals and other stuff So, don't you become paralyzed with fear When things seem particularly rough
