Brandy Clark (country not rock) has some good lines, for example:

She hates her job, loves her kids
Bored with her husband
Tired of the same old list of things to do
So when the to-dos have all been done
She sits down at the kitchen table
And rolls herself a fat one


As does U2:
I was a sailor, I was lost at sea
I was under the waves before love rescued me
I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread
Now I stand accused of the things I've said

Not rock and roll, but some of my faves:

Like a bird on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir, I have tried in my way to be free.

It was Christmas Eve babe, in the drunk tank...

Just before our love got lost you said 'I am as constant as the northern star' and I said 'constant in the darkness, where's that at? If you want me I'll be in the bar'

I heard there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased THE LORD, but you don't really care for music do ya? (An overdone, overplayed and misinterpreted song, but I love the set-up and the dismissive knife twist of the first line)

Wild Horses has a great first line as it sets up anticipation for the rest of the song IE what is this song all about




Childhood living, so easy to do
The things that you wanted, I bought them for you
Graceless lady, you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
So, now you decided to give me the same
No sweeping exits, or cruel offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter, could make me treat you unkind

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I know I've dreamed you, a sin then a lie
We now have our freedom, we just don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Time to start living, first we must die

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day

Susan Boyle finally got some professional singing lessons and now she really belts it out

Miami, you dumbass
Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate

Miami, you dumbass
So I always get nostalgic with that song
But in my room it's forced
It has to be in some car across the street

I count the falling tears
They fall before my eyes
Seems like a thousand years
Since we broke the ties

"Give me a kiss to build a dream on"

by various artists including the great Satchmo (Louis Armstrong) and a good version by Kevin Clark. A marvelous mood piece.
