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

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

 

The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
Roy Orbison's singing for the lonely
Hey, that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again

 

In the day we sweat it out on the streets
Of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through the mansions of glory
In suicide machines
Sprung from cages on Highway 9
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected, and steppin' out over the line
Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
'Cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run

 

Holly came from Miami, F-L-A
Hitch-hiked her way across the USA
Plucked her eyebrows along the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"
Said, "Hey honey, take a walk on the wild side"
 
he was drunk depressed and crazy when he bought himself the gun
over the counter in some pawn shop on south main
one feel of that cold steel and he gratefully unwadded
the last fifty dollars to his name
