Things Have Changed- Bob Dylan

“Standing in the gallows with my head in a noose. Any second now I’m expecting all hell to break loose…

I’m in the wrong town, I’m in Hollywood. Just for a second there, I thought I saw something move.”

Lonesome Day Blue’s-Bob Dylan

“Last night the wind was whispering something, I was trying to make out what it was. I tell myself that something is coming. But it never does…

I’m going to spare the defeated. I’m going to speak to the crowd. I’m going to teach peace to the conquered. Oh I’m going to tame the proud.

Leaves are rustling in the woods, things are falling off of the shelves. You’re going to need my help sweetheart, you can’t make love all by yourself. “

Diamond Mine by James Cuddy & Greg Keelor Favorite Lyrics Series

I hear all these rumors about you. Trash lines up at my door just to bring me the news.

All it does is kind of make me wonder, why people so eager to be so cruel.

You say that the parties over. But like a drunken fool, I never know when to leave. It’s just that in the eyes of this beholder. You mean everything to me.

Cause when I look into your eyes. Our love shines… like a diamond mine.

Ship of Fools-Karl Wallinger- World Party Favorite Lyrics Series

We’re setting sail for a place on the map. From which no one has ever returned. Drawn by the promise of the Joker and the fool, and the light of the crosses that burn. Drawn by the promise of the women and the lace. And the gold and the cotton and pearls.

It’s the place where they keep all the darkness you need.

You sail away from the light of the world on this trip baby…
