I leave the office and I want to relax.
Don’t want to stare at a wall
And look at a duck that can’t quack.
I love you baby but I can’t fall
For those ducks on the wall.
I start to snuggle up and squeeze her so tight.
Then out of the corner of my eye
I see those ducks in flight.
I love you baby but I can’t ball
When I see those ducks on the wall.

My all-time favourite line from a song:
"And when she said she’d be a movie queen, no one laughed."Emma by Hot Chocolate.
The Sisters of Mercy did a fantastic cover of the song.
Queen–Fat Bottomed Girls
Are you gonna take me home tonight ?
Ah down beside that red firelight
Are you gonna let it all hang out ?
Fat bottomed girls
You make the rockin’ world go round
Hey I was just a skinny lad
Never knew no good from bad
But I knew life before I left my nursery
Left alone with big fat Fanny
She was such a naughty nanny
Heap big woman you made a bad boy out of me

Well he sang shang a-lang as he ran from the gang
Singing shoo-wop de-doo wop a day.
If you’re looking for lyrics that mean something, it doesn’t get much clearer than that.
Willie Nelson–Home Motel
What use to be my home
Is now just a place to stay
A crumbling last resort
When day is through
Somewhere between sundown and dawn
I find my way
To this home motel
On Love Lost Avenue
No one seems to really care
If I come here at all
And the one who seems to care the least is you
I gonna hang a neon sign with letters big and blue
Home Motel on Love Lost Avenue

Besides, his songs are so 70’s. They’re dated. They’re dead. If you’re looking for lyrics that mean something, if you’re looking for real music, it’s gotta be timeless. It’s gotta be deep. When I put my feet up on the coffee table at the end of the day, scratch my crotch and crack open a can of Taiwan’s finest, nothing moves me like Fogelberg.
Longer than there’ve been fishes in the ocean
Higher than than any bird ever flew
Longer than there’ve been stars up in the heavens
I’ve been in love with you.

It’s so hard to pick one essential lyric from the most moving sensitive singer/songwriter of our era…
Mother T bore false witness against me!! I did not write what I have been quoted as saying!! Dan Fogelberg!!! 
You did a good job, MT, of writing in my style. You should ask Dan Rather for a job? :s
So what is the Forumosan punishment for forged quotes?
Well, it ain’t pretty but it won’t kill you.
The sentence is a weekend locked up in Fred Smith’s “prison room” playing “Abu Ghraib Pyramid”!!! 
I hope this will deter others from thinking of commiting forgery.
Here’s the forged quote:

[i]This is the 21st century,
Flashed to crash and burn,
And no ones going to give you anything,
for nothing in return
There’s a man up in a mirrored building
and he just bought the world the world.
Would you want…to have kids
to grow up…in whats left of this?
She said “There there”
She said “can’t you see
the world is you…the world is me…”[/i]
Not famous, but poigniant all the same.

Treat your women like toilets,
They’re happy when you’re abusin’ ‘em,

Wild Rover (drunk version…this is a classic):
I’ve been a wild rover for many a year
And I spent all my money on whiskey and beer,
And now I’m returning with gold in great store
And I never will play the wild rover no more.
And it’s no, nay, never,
No nay never no more,
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more.
I went to a whorehouse I used to frequent
And I told the landlady me money was spent.
I asked her for credit, she said you’re outta luck
If you don’t have a penny, you don’t get a f***.
And it’s no, nay, never,(right up your kilt!)
No nay never no more,
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more.
Grab a beer or 12 and sing along…
Theme song from Full Frontal
Did something real
Sidewalks chasing
Citizens racing
Did something real
Blood hounds closing
in unopposing
Real
Did something real
clothesline rats like
cats on vacation
Did something real
You been scrapped
I’m trapped
at the station
community snorts
it’s fine when it’s so concealed
Extra special happiness
defined by an endless field
I’ve not been real
Did something real
Craps crying axis
salmon is expected
Did something real
black tub and rockets
holy ghost
and marxes
Real
Small claims courts
Community snorts
It’s fine when it’s so concealed
Extra special happiness
defined by an endless field
I’ve not been real
On a recent listen I was astonished again that such a young man could have written these lyrcs. And the music enhances it tenfold! Brilliant bastard, what a shame.
Love will tear us apart
When the routine bites hard
and ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high
but emotions won’t grow
And we’re changing our ways,
taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart
again
Fine words HG.
Inside my head is burning,
And in a way I’m yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of truth,
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I’m not afraid to die.
[quote]Now, baby, pack your leaving trunk, you know we’ve got to leave today;

“Going Up the Country,” written and sung by Alan Wilson (1943-1970) of Canned Heat
Days Like This Van Morrison
When it’s not always raining there’ll be days like this
When there’s no one complaining there’ll be days like this
When everything falls into place like the flick of a switch
Well my mama told me there’ll be days like this
When you don’t need to worry there’ll be days like this
When no one’s in a hurry there’ll be days like this
When you don’t get betrayed by that old Judas kiss
Oh my mama told me there’ll be days like this
When you don’t need an answer there’ll be days like this
When you don’t meet a chancer there’ll be days like this
When all the parts of the puzzle start to look like they fit
Then I must remember there’ll be days like this
When everyone is up front and they’re not playing tricks
When you don’t have no freeloaders out to get their kicks
When it’s nobody’s business the way that you wanna live
I just have to remember there’ll be days like this
When no one steps on my dreams there’ll be days like this
When people understand what I mean there’ll be days like this
When you ring out the changes of how everything is
Well my mama told me there’ll be days like this
Oh my mama told me
There’ll be days like this
Oh my mama told me
There’ll be days like this
Oh my mama told me
There’ll be days like this
Oh my mama told me
There’ll be days like this
