"And I need you more than want you
and I want you for all time"
would be a good example and a start. Thanks Jimmy Webb.

Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar.
You're gonna go far, you're gonna fly high,
You're never gonna die, you're gonna make it if you try;they're gonna love you.
Well I've always had a deep respect, and I mean that most sincerely.
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think
Oh by the way, which one's Pink?
You're gonna go far, you're gonna fly high,
You're never gonna die, you're gonna make it if you try;they're gonna love you.

Well, we busted out of class, had to get away from those fools
We learned more from a three-minute record than we ever learned in school

Hoo-hoo-hoo, Billy Mack is a detective down in Texas
You know he knows just exactly what the facts is
You know he knows just exactly what the facts is
He said I don't know man ah she kinda funny, you know
I said I know, everybody funny, now you funny too
I said I know, everybody funny, now you funny too
"Paranoia strikes deep"
"The piano sounds like a carnival, and the microphone smells like a beer"
"I awoke last night to the sound of thunder, How far off I sat and wondered"
Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, losing my soul
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied

"so you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
so you think you can love me and leave me to die?"
"I'd love to spit some beech nut in that dude's eyes
And shoot him with my old .45"
lines, not verses. Just sayin'...

The Eagles:
You can spend all your time making money
You can spend all your love making time

How the hell can a person
Go to work in the morning
And come home in the evening
And have nothing to say

If we weren’t all crazy
We’d just go insane.

When I was just a baby, my mama told me "son"
"Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns"
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry
"Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns"

My balls are always bouncing, and my ballroom's always full, and everybody comes and comes again. If your name is in the guest list, no one can take you higher. Everyone says I've got great balls of fire.
"I smoke old stogies I have found, short but not too big around
I'm a man of means by no means, king of the road"
I'm a man of means by no means, king of the road"
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes
Dawn light smiles on you leaving, my contentment…
Dawn light smiles on you leaving, my contentment…
"Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?"
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?"
Just stay where you are
Baby, stay away from me
With your eyes like sparks
And my heart like gasoline
Baby, stay away from me
With your eyes like sparks
And my heart like gasoline
It's tough to handle this fortune and fame
Everybody's so different, I haven't changed
You don't have to go home but you can't stay here.
When that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I don't have to fear it
Everybody's so different, I haven't changed
You don't have to go home but you can't stay here.
When that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I don't have to fear it
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
Look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes, I see them running too
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
Look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes, I see them running too
Breathe out...so I can breathe you in...
We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl...year after year...
And she stood just like Bill Wynan now I am her biggest fan
The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls...and tenement halls...

Clowns to the left of me!
Jokers to the right!
Here I am ~ stuck in the middle with you.
Yes I'm ~ stuck in the middle with you . . .

Here I am ~ stuck in the middle with you.

And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you made
The love you take
Is equal to the love you made
And if I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
Well I'd buy you some art
A Picasso or a Garfunkel

So many great lyrics, but a few come to mind right away:
Then she opened up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
From the thirteenth century
And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burning coal
Pouring off of every page
Like it was written in my soul from me to you
Tangled up in blue
Well, I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
I think I really dug her 'cause I was too loose to fake
I said "I'm hurt" she said "Honey let me heal it"
And we danced all night to a soul fairy band
And she kissed me just right like only a lonely angel can
You don't know how long I have wanted
To touch your lips and hold you tight
You don't know how long I have waited
And I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
And my love for you is still unknown
Alone

Well, I ain't always right, but I've never been wrong
Seldom turns out the way it does in a song
Once in a while, you get shown the light
In the strangest of places if you look at it right
And when paired with that unforgettable scene from "Reservoir Dogs"..... wow!
If I should live forever, and all my dreams come true,
My memories of love will be of you.
John Denver (Perhaps Love)
and
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
Katharine Lee Bates (America The Beautiful)

Begin the day with a friendly voice
A companion unobtrusive
Plays that song that's so elusive
And the magic music makes your morning mood

That's an entire song. I was looking for a LINE. You need more guidance?

Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street
From my window I'm staring while my coffee grows cold

They say that looks don't count for much
And so there goes your proof

But if looks could kill
There's a man there who's marked down as dead
Edit: And I just found a previous post of mine with a few more lyrics from a similar thread
