"Then haul away and leave her home. This song is heard no more.
No boats to sing it for. No sails to sing it for.
There rises now a single tide of tourists passing through
We traded old ways for the new, old ways for the new..."
- Fisherman's Wharf (Stan Rogers)

"She was not the girl next door
but the girl from around the corner"

and a new italian suit
i got an ebony cane
that's real root-ee toot toot"
- Come Back to Me (Barney Bentall)

"There's a lot more to gain from this living than wealth"
- Roving Gypsy Boy (The Rankins)

"It's not the band I hate
It's their fans

"I like soup, and I like ice cream
sandwhiches too.
I like fish sticks
but I love you"

You mispronounced my name
You didn't wait for all the information
Before you turned me away"

If you nailed it to his face
But Jesus Christ hangs
His head with grace"

I think you taught me that too"

Like: do you have to eat
Or get your hair cut in heaven?
And if your eye got poked out in this life
Would it be waiting up in heaven with your wife?"

"Every junkie in this laundromat
Is equal in the eyes of your lord"

with the best (arse doesn't rhyme well, hell!)"

My world was not yours, your eyes told me so
Yet it was there I felt the crossroads of time
And I wondered why"

I've been gone for a week
I've been drunk since I left"
