This isn't exactly off the beaten track but I have to say I love a line in the Otis Reading song sitting on the dock of the bay: "sitting here resting my bones and this loneliness won't leave me alone"

I have to echo that as I think that 'Sittin On The Dock Of A Bay' by Otis Reading is one of the best songs ever. Best lyric, hmmmm. Monty Python 'Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life': 'Life's a piece of s**t, when you look at it' Guy Clark 'Too Much': 'Too much money will make you lazy, too much whiskey will drive you crazy' John Lennon 'Working Class Hero': 'They hate if you're clever and they depise a fool'

how aboutAir hostess I like the way you dress Though I hate to fly But I feel much better Occupied my mind Writing you a love letter I messed my pants When we flew over France Will I see you soon In my hotel room For a holiday romance? Air hostess I rest my case

I'm not even going to ask how you know the lyrics to that "song"!! I'm going to presume you surfed the net for my own sanity and the sanity of those around me

indeed i did, cut and copy im bad but not that bad how about: "I hurt myself today To see if I still feel I focus on the pain The only thing that's real The needle tears a hole The old familiar sting Try to kill it all away But I remember everything " I think the lyrics are some of the most sad and depressing but some of the most beautiful I love it

What song is that and by whom?

"Hurt" written by Trent Reznor and as made famous by Johnny Cash. Great song, but I think Mr Cashs own songwriting can easily rival if not better it, check out the apocalyptic yet optimistic language of "The Man Comes Around" from the same album. Of course it helps that much of it was lifted straight from the good book itself.

yeah Johhny Cash is unbelievable, The way he sings "hurt" is unbeliveable. The video is just as good, so sad.watch it at http://www.markromanek.com/video/14.html I must admit though that i feel it doesnt matter how good the lyrics are or how wrote them, it is nothing until the song is sang. Johnny Cash should be given the most credit for the song, The Nne Inch Nails i think buthered a brilliant piece of writing, while Cash delievered the must heartfelt of singing (and acting in the video!

sorry about the spelling

"Lonely is the room the bed is made The open window lets the rain in Burning in the corner is the only one Who dreams he had you with him My body turns and yearns for a sleep That won't ever come It's never over, My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her... It's never over, All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter It's never over, she's the tear That hangs inside my soul forever Oh, but maybe I'm just too young to keep good love From going wrong"

I've just realised that I mis-quoted those lines from "Black" It should be: "I know some day you'll have a beautiful life I know you'll be a star In somebody else's sky But why, why can't it be mine?" Apologies

it shouldnt matter Pearl Jam are rubbish Eddie Vedder couldnt write his way out of a wet paper bag

Many a great man has failed to write his way out of a wet paper bag. My great great grandfather died trying

i heard about that he was a friend of my granny's who tried to catch a cold, she died of phneumonia

Sorry, I'm a bit of a lyrics freak. I never felt magic crazy as this I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea I never held emotion in the palm of my hand Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree But now you're here Brighten my northern sky. - Nick Drake Time will come when we know what happened here Change will come in time and make it clear We learn one thing if we learn at all In the secret wars we call our lives Anything can happen - Jackson Browne I stay unseen by the light I stay untold by the truth I'm sold by a lie By this I am able in all of my travels To make these memories quit But tonight I clearly recall every little bit - Patty Griffin Nick Cave's "The Mercy Seat:" http://www.nick-cave.net/rec.php?id=18#43 In my early years I hid my tears And passed my days alone Adrift on an ocean of loneliness My dreams like nets were thrown To catch the love that I'd heard of In books and films and songs Now there's a world of illusion and fantasy In the place where the real world belongs Still I look for the beauty in songs To fill my head and lead me on -Jackson Browne THE GIRL WHO LIVES ON HEAVEN HILL there's a girl who lives on heaven hill I go up to her cabin still she keeps a lantern lit for me and a bottle up on her mantelpiece she's the girl who lives on heaven hill she's got a big room and it's always a mess worn out shoes and a worn out dress a worn out smile that she'll wear some more and a worn out welcome mat by her door I'd trade big mountains and rooms full of gold for just one look at the beauty of this woman's soul up on heaven hill is where I wanna be that girl that bottle that mattress and me - Husker Du

Sorry, just one more I have to add--these lines just kill me: Words long gone, lost on journeys we walked on Lost are voices heard along the way Sorry for never going by your door Never feeling love like that anymore - Sun Kil Moon

anyone ever heard the version of queen' "one vision" where they had no lyrics so it was a shopping list that he sang? doesnt count but its funny , or metallica's version of sad but true without words, jim hetfield just goes, "hey, nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nha nhanahahaahja./.." on the demo just like me when im langers in bruxelles of an evening!

just thought of my serious nomination, from a pair of brown eyes by the pogues, just one line "You're the measure of my dreams" within the context of the tune and lifestyle of the writer, it is brilliant. Another one that pops into my head often is a line from Steve Earle's last song on his latest CD, talkin about his younger wilder days, when he was a street fightin man, shall we say "...my hands were thunder and my legs were stone" just like the way he puts it. Delivery is all important though, some lines need a rusted southern US accent, whilst only a few need a Tipp accent.;)

Being a big Bruce Springsteen fan he wins most of my internal lyrics competitions - "well Papa go to bed now it's getting late, nothing we can say can change anything now" (Independence Day) "and my car's out back if you're ready to take that long walk from your front porch to my front seat - The door's open but the ride ain't free" and "show a little faith, there's magic in the night - You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright" (Thunder Road) "seems you can't any more than half free" (Straight Time) "smokestacks reaching like the arms of God into a beautiful sky of soot and clay" and "once I made you rich enough, rich enough to forget my name" and "when I die I don't want no part of heaven, I would not do heavens work well, I pray the devil comes and takes me to stand in the fiery furnaces of hell" (Youngstown which is my all time favorite song ever!) And all the lyrics of "the ghost of tom joad", "downbound train", "you're missing" and most of his other songs. Bob Dylan - Ring them Bells - the entire song is just superb Townes Van Zandt - to live's to fly - Won't say I need you babe But, I'm gonna get you babe And I will not do you wrong Livin's mostly wastin' time I waste my share of mine But it never feels too good So let's don't take too long You're soft as glass And I'm a gentle man We got the sky to talk about And the world to lie upon. And Simon and Garfunkel who did a brill version of "keep the customer Satisfied" in the RDS on Saturday - "It's the same old story, yeah Everywhere I go I get slandered, libeled I hear words I never heard in the Bible And I'm one step ahead of the shoe shine Two steps away from the county line Just trying to keep my customers satisfied"

The song slowdown by the republic of loose has lyrics that really hit home for me. They aren't exactly poetic but they simply describe the predictament many people find themselves in. The whole thing about having a job and money but neither of them are good for you is very relevant to alot of people (I think?)

Despite a few criminal lyrics of late Noel Gallagher's early period writing (all done in a shed as legend goes) was magnificent, for me anyhow. My late teenage years were, like many lads my age were scored by Oasis. (Live Forever) Maybe, I don't really wanna know How your garden grows Cause I just wanna fly Lately, did you ever feel the pain In the morning rain As it soaks you to the bone (Listen Up) Listen up for the time said today I'm gonna speak my mind Take me up to the top of the world I wanna see my crime day by day there's a man in a suit who's gonna make you pay for the thoughts that you feel and the words they won't let you say

I'm a big Boss fan myself Fiddlechick. Tunnel Of Love is my favourite album and has some cracking lyrics: "Well it ought to be easy, ought to be simple enough, yeah Man meets woman and they fall in love, But this house is haunted and the ride gets rough You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above." - Tunnel of Love The bould Bono has written some good lyrics in his time - "And you know it's time to go Through the rain and driving snow Across a field of mourning lights in the distance And you hunger for the time Time to heal, desire time And your earth moves beneath Your own dream landscape." f**ked if I know what it means, mind.

Sorry, should have mentioned that that U2 lyric is from "A Sort of Homecoming".

Bruce Springteen - 'The River'...great great lyrics, pure storyteller stuff

I love that song of his Dromed. It paints such a depressing picture of the mediocrity and boredom that a lot of people go through in rural America. Catchy tune too. Whe he marries Mary, the girl he impregnates: " No wedding smiles, No walk down the aisle, No flowers, No wedding dress" Brilliant stuff. And I'm no Springsteen fan at that

"Then I got Mary pregnant and man that was all she wrote And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat We went down to the courthouse and the judge put it all to rest No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle No flowers no wedding dress" Brilliant, and the pain in his voice singing it makes it seem all the more real...he's a legend "But I remember us riding in my brother's car Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir At night on them banks I'd lie awake And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take Now those memories come back to haunt me they haunt me like a curse Is a dream a lie if it don't come true Or is it something worse"

Jeez, gag me with a spoon, enough with the sincere touchy-feely lyrics already! Are you lot really that melodramatic or am I just really insensitive? (I think we all know the answer to that one) What you need is some Ramones! Teenage Lobotomy: "now I guess I'll have to tell 'em That I got no cerebellum gonna get my Ph.D. I'm a teenage lobotomy" Pure Genius or What? (or What? category I think) Ah ignore that, I'm just being silly as usual. We all find lyrics that we're touched by and as they say "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" so here's my own drippy choice. Personally I think "I'll be your mirror" by The Velvet Underground and Nico is one of the most lyrically beatiful songs ever written. Its amazing what a walking contradiction Lou Reed was, being quite a nasty guy one minute and then writing a song which shows such touching concern for someone who is obviously feeling a bit insecure the next: "I'll be your mirror Reflect what you are, in case you don't know I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset The light on your door to show that you're home When you think the night has seen your mind That inside you're twisted and unkind Let me stand to show that you are blind Please put down your hands 'Cause I see you I find it hard to believe you don't know The beauty that you are But if you don't let me be your eyes A hand in your darkness, so you won't be afraid When you think the night has seen your mind That inside you're twisted and unkind Let me stand to show that you are blind Please put down your hands 'Cause I see you I'll be your mirror" A definitely less drippy choice would be Talking Heads "No Compassion", which contains the gem: "Other people's problems they overwhelm my mind They say compassion is a virtue, but I don't have the time" A sad reflection on our current state of affairs, thats still as true in 2004 as it was in 1977?

All this is making me emotional!

One of the best lines ever: "She wanted nothing...and I delivered" - Fu Manchu

Who else could've pulled off album after album of utterly mouth watering songs? Who else could've brought a whole new image to an ice-cream man? Who else could've played Captain Hook in Shrek 2? Who else but Tom Waits...the master of the one liners that never seem out of place in his songs. Pure genius. 'There aint no such thing as the Devil, its just God when he's drunk' 'I bet she's still a virgin but its only twenty five to nine' I could go on all day but instead I'll urge anyone who doesn't have a Tom Waits cd in their colelction to get down to record store asap. 'Closing Time', 'Heart Of Saturday Night', 'Used Songs', 'Alice', 'Nighthawks At The Diner', 'Heartattack And Vine', 'Franks Wild Years'. Buy any of these albums and you WILL NOT be disappointed. As far as I know he has a new album due out in September. Hopefully I'll get to catch one of his live shows.

The Saw Doctors' lyrics rock....true prophets....mostly ignored in their own land :-) "Air the bed my auld room, I going back to Tuam." "I got sunglasses, And I got the shorts I got factor 50, And a t-shirt of course I’ve been shopping in penney’s I’ve walked out to dunne’s I’m all set for the summer All set for the sun Oh god will it ever stop raining?..... We got barred from the pub She stole all my money I thought it was love And then the wind blew my ice-cream onto the sand I backed an oul’ greyhound He stopped in front of the stand" "Hardly anyone had the telly It was a different kind of world Heaven was a game of football Before I ever kissed the girls We used to go out driving We’d travel near and far Nearly every Sunday in me Father’s oul’ ford car He’d be pointing out the landmarks Everywhere we’d go, through the Twisting, turning , winding roads Of Galway and Mayo Me mother in the front seat Children in the back We’d be imagining Indians in the Fields waiting to attack And we’d be asking “ are we nearly there?” Wearing clothes that came In a parcel from America, The two of us the same..... There’s a stillness in the summer air , Sheep dog lying in the sun Three young girls with butterfly nets Break into a run Now the time flies by like always I’ve got my own boy right now Like cowboys in the oul’ k30 We go and drive around" "And some where up near inchagoill In the embers of the night Switch of all the engines At the birth of dawns first light And someone sing a happy song When everyone’s arrived And scatter me forever Where I’ve felt most alive" "I'll show you what I've got - A Gibson polka dot and I've got an amp inside in the room Sure come in and I'll play an aul tune twinkle twinkle little star D'ya wanna hear my guitar? D'ya know what i mean martina?" "To win just once that would be enough So come all ye full-time small -town heroes Cast away your inbred fears of Standing out from all the rest The cynics and the pessimists The self-indulgent almost rich The blatant hurlers on the ditch Time is passing so come on And face the ball, the game is on" And one of the most ROMANTIC songs ever - Share the Darkness "Hey I can’t I say that I love you I can't say that I don’t I can't say that I couldn’t And I won't say that I won’t But I really like your company I’m enjoying myself no end But I can’t keep from thinking Why don’t we share the darkness tonight Make it warm and burning bright I’ll not say nothing I'll be polite .....Ah life’s too short for wasting For ifs and might have been's Life’s too short for wondering if You could have lived your dreams And its way too short for loneliness We don't have to be Now that we trust each other Why don’t you stay with me? Why don't we share the darkness tonight Make it warm and burning bright I'll not say nothing I'll be polite Why don't we share the darkness tonight .... When the world belongs to distant dogs And the air is dark and still And drunken conversations pass beneath the window sill And there’s someone singing Elvis songs as they make their way back home and all your fears and worries attack when you're alone" And then you've got "Michael D rocking in the Dail" What's that line in Tom Waits "hold on" - don't meet nice girls in coffee shops...?

Apologies for the trigger happy copy and paste of last post!

Thats a shame that you didnt get into Tom Waits. He's quite different but thats the genius of him. But I understand its not to everyone's liking. Maybe try 'Used Songs', its a kind of best of. Or 'Heart Of Saturday Night' is a classic.

Morrisey is obviously the best lyricist in pop music: Punctured bicycle on a hillside desolate will Nature make a man of me yet? Why pamper life's complexities when the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat? This Charming Man What she asked of me at the end of the day Caligula would have blushed Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now I grabbed you by the guilded beams that's what Tradition means I Started Something I Couldn't Finish Love, peace and harmony Love, peace and harmony Oh, very nice very nice very nice very nice ...but maybe in the next world Death Of A Disco Dancer Girlfriend in a coma, I know I know - it's serious Girlfriend In A Coma The pain was enough to make a shy, bald buddhist reflect and plan a mass-murder Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before And now I know how Joan of Arc felt now I know how Joan of Arc felt as the flames rose to her Roman nose and her Walkman started to melt Bigmouth Strikes Again As Antony said to Cleopatra as he opened a crate of ale oh I say Some girls are bigger than others some girls are bigger than others some girls mothers are bigger than other girls mothers Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others Burn down the Disco Hang the blessed D.J. Because the music that they constantly play IT SAYS NOTHING TO ME ABOUT MY LIFE Panic And there are far more examples than this.

By the way "you're the measure of my dreams" is from A Rainy Night In Soho not A Pair Of Brown Eyes.

Re, pogues song, I stand corrected and slightly bemused as this is twice I have made that same mistake.

Been listening to a track called "Fist City" by Loretta Lynn that just cracks me up everytime I hear it. No offence intended to genuine country fans, but c'mon this is pure comedy gold! You really don't wanna meet miss Lynn down a dark alley: "You've been makin' your brags around town that you've been a lovin' with my man But the man I love when he picks up trash he puts it in a garbage can And that's what you look like to me and what I see is a pitty You'd better close your face and stay out of my way If you don't wanta go to Fist City If you don't wanna go to Fist City you'd better detour round my town Cause I'll grab you by the hair of the head and I'll lift you off of the ground I'm not a sayin' my baby is a saint cause he ain't And that he won't cat around with a kitty I'm here to tell you gal to lay off of my man if you don't wanna go to Fist City Come on and tell me what you told my friends if you think you're brave enough And I'll show you what a real woman is since you think you're hot stuff You'll bite off more than you can chew if you get too cute or witty You better move your feet if you don't wanna eat a meal that's called Fist City If you don't wanna go to Fist City... I'm here to tell you gal to lay off of my man if you don't wanna go to Fist City"

first of all, shame on you GAr for not including 'bome machine' in your list of tom waits must-haves. It is EASILY among my favorites, and chock full of FANTASTIC lyrics (the clip in my signature among them...I won't repeat it here. but read it. and listen to it. yowza.) another little known one is Paul Westerberg off 'stereo' from 2002. It's sort of one long line... "the sweet smell of candles burnt low by young women alone on their own for the very first time under posters of rock stars that you vaguely resembles in front of a cat who's responding perhaps means that you'll be the next one in line." and, erm, has no one anything to say about REM?!?!?! (they are, ultimately, my favorite band of all time, though if anyone quotes 'everybody hurts' i will gag slightly and and maybe punch something.) anyway, howsabout- "i can't look you in the eyes Seconal, spanish fly, absinthe, kerosene Cherry-flavored neck and collar i can smell the sorrow on your breath the sweat, the victory and sorrow, the smell of fear. i got it." -e-bow the letter- DAMN SON. x, -h.

A few favs of mine: Tom Waits Heart of Saturday Night ‘Maxwell eyes, Marmalade thighs and Scrambled yellow hair’ Red House Painters Rollercoaster ‘Theres the sun going down reminding me I’ll never be able to relive this day except in memories’ Pavement folk jam Well pardon my birth i just slipped out origins i can't brag about. spawn of a bank inquisitor And theives i wish.’ Lyle Lovett Skinny legs ‘See that boy with that guitar He's got skinny legs like I always wanted A girlfreind in his car 'cause he's got Skinny legs like I always wanted Sister look at me again You'd love me if I were as skinny as him’ Sonja Man I need to impress her 'Cause I'd like to undress her I need a song about Sonja When I'm singing tonight

You'll have to excuse me if you don't find Eminem funny but "Will Smith don't have to cuss to sell records/but I do so f**k him and f**k you to" always makes me chuckle.

ALways loved Incubus:The Warmth. Any time you might feel a bit down "Don't let the world bring you down Not everyone here is that f**ked up and cold"

Stop talking crap, if u really want to see some nice lyrics searc any of "Joaquin Sabina" for example "Cerrado por derribo", "Ruido" or "Ahora que" P.D. Air hostess?? what kinda crap is that? P.D. You need to know some Spanish if you want to understand Joaquin Sabina's songs

we did stop talking crap, in July 2004! (well OK, I personally have spouted a lot more crap on different threads since) Wow, talk about a blast from the past! this is a real "Golden Oldie" thread, not that theres anything wrong with resurrecting old threads if you've got something interesting to add of course.... Anyway Jimbostar, welcome to Cluas.

Death Cab... poets Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound But while you debate half empty or half full It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown

"half the people can be part right all the time, some of the people can be all right some of the time, but all the people cant be all right all the time, i think abraham lincoln said that, ill let you be in my dream if i can be in yours, i said that!" Bob Dylan - talkin world war iii blues

Hard to get past Tom Waits 'Martha' for a 'lost love' type theme. Some of my other favourites are... "Soldier boy, made of clay, now an empty shell. twenty-one, only son but he served us well. bred to kill, not to care, do just as we say. Finished here, greetings death, he's yours to take away" -Disposable Heroes by Metallica "She's the main man in the office in the city and she treats me like I'm just another lackey. But I can put a tennis racket up against my face and pretend that I am Kendo Nagasaki" -Everythings AOR by Half Man Half Biscuit "I kicked off my sackcloth, threw away my jostick, burned my koran and said I was agnostic, I mean an atheist I cried as they moved in for the kill, the walls tumbled down as they handed me the bill" -Religious Persuasion by Andy White "The people from your church agree it's not much of a career, trying the handles of parked cars -whoops there goes another year -whoops there goes another pint of beer," Greetings to the New Brunette by Billy Bragg

I really want this to be the first song my new band ever plays live. I think it'd be funny. Opening with covers is lame though. "lock me in tied to work splitting rocks cutting diamonds 100 days with no pay not anymore cause I'm caught I can't type I can't temp I'm way past college no ways out no back doors not anymore but then once a while we'll play a show then that makes it worthwhile our sights set low as jerry squares off the set - here we go but...this boy is exhausted 8 years long a single song come to this triple guessing double down a v.p.'s faith is one single long cause I can't write what I know - it's not worth writing I can't tell a hit from hell from one sing-along but then greg plugs in a treble checking that says we might win hell's henry pearls the woven strap wins the galloway girls but.... but then kev jumps in and hits the floor as the stick hits the rim I guess we're done cause every win on this record's hard won but...."

Also about the only lyric that can top vile niall's suggestion for a lost love song: not yet 21 - with introductions done - a first slow dance just ends. I was at my best - we ignored the rest (my band and your friends). But as better night became best day we left the party while last records played. What started as dessert back at your house ended on the couch... hours at your mouth...sunday's on our hands. We followed where it led. I followed you to bed. We started secret plans. Forward 7 months: I've only seen you once...I never call on time. Trying to seem tough, I said one visit's enough - enough to keep you mine (of course it wasn't...) We were done by june. You'd graduate and leave for london soon. Your layover at newark's near my house. We met for dinner there... just one hour to spare - your 20's all mapped out. I'm in my driest drought feeling old and shot and how. And this is what I thought: I seem to still be caught... I'm a footnote at best...I envy who comes next...wish we could just make out. 'The hour's almost up', you said into your cup. And it makes no difference now, as I help lift your bags out, that I'm lost and out of rope while on my wrist you wrote your newest number down. I kind of said your name but you'd turned to your plane so I backed my car out. I knew we'd never write (somehow that seemed all right) but this counts as calling three years out.

unicron - who wrote that tune? quality lyrics, would like to get my hands on it

Daragh, last 2 were were both by the wrens, This Boy Is Exhausted and 13 months in 6 minutes, both taken from their album the Meadowlands. Charles Bissell from the band is quite possibly my favourite lyricist ever, recommended furthur reading: fourth floor room each girl I've brought back home to bloom all fold on close inspection each one leaves a banner hanging from the eaves marking the eve of election ex-girl collection why/ into why not into what else you got? it's just how men mark time ann slams in another lightening round begins this could get interesting where's ann been? she pours herself a don't-ask gin no ice and light on the bitters I'm done with quitters 'why / charles, I found out wipe that smile off your mouth I think it's tell-me time...' britt hit hard she found my box of beth's best cards hand cut and signed with 'x's called at work 'happy anniversary, jerk' and I just laughed at the timing with you on hold line 2 still crying 'why play sex on the cuff? does beth like it rough? and learn your dirty lines? and keep her hair cropped (the other shoe dropped) 'is this how men mark time in couples?', she cursed (this sounds too rehearsed) as ann, hand on hip, accusing me to the rafters the words turn and spit and scorch right through to the plaster I'm called 10 kinds of a bastard curses came faster why / into why not? into charles gone to pot in hotter water line up to lift up a toast to the ones I hurt most and how the well's gone lime with charles on the plow I'm roger over and how slower now men mark time fine why, what else you got?

"I watched the A-team and Airwolf too, before i found drugs and started sniffin glue" GLC Classic stuff!

for me it has to be the emotional rollercoaster experienced by lump, Lump lingered last in line for brains And the ones she got were sorta rotten and insane Small thing’s so sad that birds could land Is lump fast asleep or rockin’ out with the band

John GOrka's "Silence" I met her in the summertime when her arms Were the color of silence So blue her eyes A new horizon So I walked that way And I talked that way too And I found my way through To her silence, To her silence, My heart was full of bitterness so dark And so close to violence The ace of spades Turned upside down Nothing beat in my hopeless chest I could not detect a sound But she would not let me rest Bound to my silence, Bound to my silence, Love came unexpectedly, late to the bill An added attraction The way it goes, the way it stays And when she is far away Still I feel her here Ever since she made the day And the lonely man disappear Into that silence, Into that silence,

"B.J. the D.J. Only twenty-four A wreck at ninety miles an hour He'll spin the hits no more" I heard a version done by Big Tom where he sang... "B.J. the D.J. took too many risks B.J. the D.J. has spun his final disc" Eat your heart out Bob Dylan
