Answer 2

Don't run back inside darling
you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me

--"Thunder Road" by Bruce Springsteen

Answer 3

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me
of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

Answer 4

Mr Bad Example - Warren Zevon

I started as an alter boy, working at the church
Learning all my holy moves, doing some research
Which led me to a cash box, labeled "Children's Fund"
I'd leave the change, and tuck the bills inside my cummerbund

I got a part-time job at my father's carpet store
Laying tackless stripping, and housewives by the score
I loaded up their furniture, and took it to Spokane
And auctioned off every last naugahyde divan

I'm very well aquainted with the seven deadly sins
I keep a busy schedule trying to fit them in
I'm proud to be a glutton, and I don't have time for sloth
I'm greedy, and I'm angry, and I don't care who I cross

I'm Mr. Bad Example, intruder in the dirt
I like to have a good time, and I don't care who gets hurt
I'm Mr. Bad Example, take a look at me
I'll live to be a hundred, and go down in infamy

Of course I went to law school and took a law degree
And counseled all my clients to plead insanity
Then worked in hair replacement, swindling the bald
Where very few are chosen, and fewer still are called

Then on to Monte Carlo to play chemin de fer
I threw away the fortune I made transplanting hair
I put my last few francs down on a prostitute
Who took me up to her room to perform the flag salute

Whereupon I stole her passport and her wig
And headed for the airport and the midnight flight, you dig?
And fourteen hours later I was down in Adelaide
Looking through the want ads sipping Fosters in the shade

I opened up an agency somewhere down the line
To hire aboriginals to work the opal mines
But I attached their wages and took a whopping cut
And whisked away their workman's comp and pauperized the lot

I'm Mr. Bad Example, intruder in the dirt
I like to have a good time, and I don't care who gets hurt
I'm Mr. Bad Example, take a look at me
I'll live to be a hundred and go down in infamy

I bought a first class ticket on Malaysian Air
And landed in Sri Lanka none the worse for wear
I'm thinking of retiring from all my dirty deals
I'll see you in the next life, wake me up for meals

Answer 5

Here we are, born to be kings
We're the princes of the universe
Here we belong, fighting to survive
In a world with the darkest powers

Hey...
And here we are
We're the princes of the universe
Here we belong, fighting for survival
We've come to be the rulers of your world

I am immortal
I have inside me blood of kings
I have no rival
No man can be my equal
Take me to the future of new earth

The Doors - the end -

Yes son

Corosion of conformity - Shelter
So bang bang they shoot you down
No-one says a word as your body hits the ground
Pick her up & put her down

my friend
Tell me who's heart is bleeding?

Answer 7

All your dreams are made
When you're chained to (your) mirror with (your) razor blade
Today's the day that all the world will see
Another sunny afternoon
(I'm) walking to the sound of your favorite tune
Tomorrow never knows what it doesn't know too soon

Answer 8

Not in rock history, but it's a bloody good one.

"I wish somebody would love him, he doesn't have a home.
He wants to talk to his old school friends but he needs ten pence for the phone!"
(Skag Trendy by The View.)

And that whole song really.

Answer 9

I have to nominate Jimi Hendrix since he only had one chart single and everyone seems to know all his lyrics to about 10-15 songs.

"'Scuse me, while I kiss the sky." Jimi Hendrix, Purple Haze (did not chart)

Answer 10

Just about anything by Bob Dylan, my favorite line is from Positively 4th Street:
I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is
To see you

Answer 11

"freethinkers are dangerous!!"
"1 and 1 and 1 is 3"
"and if i swallow anything evil, stick your finger down my throat"
"ohhheahhhhhah!"
"big gun! number one"
"we're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year"
"ooheohh, the guns of brixton"
