In honor of my latest concert, I submit 2

Oh! Whiskey, gin and brandy,
With a glass I'm pretty handy,
I'm trying to walk a straight line,
On sour mash and cheap wine,

She was a fast machine, she kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman that I ever seen

Gonna testify to some of the lesser known lyricists.

Brother's runnin' powder money/Daddy's somewhere on a drunk/In the hours after washing/I do my dreamin' with a gun

Miss Christina drives a 9-4-4/Satisfaction ooozes from her pores/She keeps rings on her fingers/Marble on her floors/Cocaine in her dresser/Bars on her doors

Well, my baby, she don't want me around.
She said she's tired of watchin' me fall down.
She wants the good life, only the best.
But I like that bottle better than the rest.

 

Might not even be the best opening lines on that album, or from that lyricist, but I've always loved em.

Oh the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it out of sight

 

Caroline laughs and it's raining all day
She loves to be one of the girls
She lives in the place in the side of our lives
Where nothing is ever put straight

 

My Maria
Don't you know I have come a long, long way?
I've been longin' to see her, when she's around she takes my blues away

 

Where it began
I can't begin to know when
But then I know it's growin' strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believe you'd come along?

I hear you're driving someone else's car now
She said you came and took your stuff away
All the poetry, and the trunk you kept your life in
I knew that it would come to that someday

Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog
Where no one notices the contrast of white on white
And in between the moon and you
The angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right

I mean, he's up there behind maybe only Iommi and Page as far as someone who could come up with guitar riffs as song hooks, imo

Ignorance of youth. First time I heard this, thought it was drugs. Then heard the rest of the song 😂

See this needle
Oh, see my hand
Drop, drop, dropping it down
Oh, so gently
