Here’s some of mine.

" I think God it’s moving his tongue, there’s no crowd on the streets and no sun"

“You and me baby ain’t nothing but mammals, so let’s do it like they do on the discovery channel”

“I felt the hate rise up in me, kneel down and clear the stone of leaves, i wandered out where you can’t see, inside my shell i wait and bleed”

"CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES, THIS IS MY LAST RESORT, suffocation, no breathing, don’t give a fuck if i cut my arm bleeding! "

    There’s too many, but I won’t lie if I take any few lines from L. Cohen’s “The Future”:

    "Your servant here, he has been told
To say it clear, to say it cold
It's over, it ain't going any further
And now the wheels of heaven stop
You feel the devil's riding crop
Get ready for the future: It is murder"

        I didn’t downvote and I actually enjoy the song, but that’s a pretty vapid lyric and I might imagine someone felt it wasn’t a serious suggestion - though not the only one. Perhaps they will chime in and resolve the mystery.

        I grew up singing Pour Some Sugar On Me and Octopus’ Garden so I’m not one to judge.

    The whole start to Graceland by Paul Simon is pretty vivid:

    The Mississippi Delta Was shining like a national guitar.
    I am following the river down the highway through the cradle of the Civil War.
    I’m going to Graceland, Graceland - Memphis, Tennessee
    I’m going to Graceland

    Poor boys and pilgrims with families and we are going to Graceland
    My traveling companion is nine years old he is the child of my first marriage
    But I’ve reason to believe we both will be received in Graceland

    I have never been to Tennessee. But this intro really conjures up some vivid imagery of driving down a highway through some historic country, along a river in the company of a child - and being among many others going to the same place.

    It’s pure poetry.

    Lies are a funny thing, they slip through your finger tips because they never happened to you.

    If you’re going to ask a question to everyone and also answer it, the best practice is to put your own answer as a comment, rather than in the textbox.

    To answer the question:

    True, there’s been trouble and trickery, sir
    Trembling and tribulations
    Twitches from switches of hickory, sir
    You, sir, and your usurpations
    But my patience wears very thin
    When you play the violin

    from “When You Play the Violin” by the Gothic Archies. It’s not emotionally resonant, I just love the wordplay.
