When the routine bites hard And ambitions are low

Got to be one of the absolute best.

"Bass! How low can you go?"

"Lonely is the room, the bed is made - the only window lets the rain in."

"Billy Ray was a preachers son, when his daddy visit - he'd come along."

"Autumn leaves are falling all around, time I was on my way..."

I met a young man, on the skeleton coast,
He was out on his feet, pale as a ghost

Punctured bicycle
On a hillside desolate
Will nature make a man of me yet?

Running slow like cold engines do,
On the hills of bleak mornings through
The streets are ready to explode
But I won't die today

Pulling the ice axe from my leg, I staggered on, spindrift stinging my remaining eye.

Pondering things like 'have Metallica really been to Hastings, Brighton and Eastbourne?' It's a cover version 🙂

Son, I'm thirty
I only went with your mother 'cos she's dirty
and I don't have a decent bone in me
What you get is just what you see

Maybe it's the other way 'round, I can't seem to decide.

If I had my way
I would move to another lifetime
I'd quit my job
Ride the train through the misty nighttime
I'll be ready when my feet touch ground
Wherever I come down
And if the folks will have me
Then they'll have me

KICK IT!

I like big butts, and I can not lie.

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind.

Buddy you're a boy make a big noise
Playin' in the street gonna be a big man some day
You got mud on yo' face
You big Disgrace
Kickin' your can all over the place....

You have so many relationships in this life
Only one or two will last
You go through all the pain and strife
Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast

😈

Spent all day trying to decide about the things you said last night.
Did they mean nothing, or were they filled with hidden clues?

Pour myself a cup of ambition

Packing your bags like people in the movies do,
All severe, and not saying a word,
And I'm sitting down here just watching you,
And I'm thinking:
Where has all the love gone?
Where's the love gone to?
Don't leave

Antigee ..

I would have gone for this one 🙂
[i]Stab a sorry heart
With your favourite finger
Paint the whole world blue
And stop your tears from stinging
Hear the cavemen singing
Good news they're bringing[/i]

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind.

That's a good call. Continuing the Sabbath theme, 'wheels of confusion' is up there with

'long ago I wandered through my mind'

A good opening lyric isn't just good in isolation, it lets you know exactly what the script is. Which in the case of the above is 'Sabbath are taking WAY too much coke, this is going to get messy'. Which it did.

A spider wonders aimlessly within the warmth of a shadow,
Not the regal creature of border caves!
But, the poor misguided directionless familiar of some obscure scottish poet!

Yeah but [i]what[/i] a mess! Wheels of Confusion/The Straightener is off the scale brilliant isn't it?

I've got a bike. You can ride it if you like.
It's got a basket, a bell that rings and
Things to make it look good.
