Last night I dreamt that somebody loved me
No hope, but no harm

Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did tom waits

Standing on a beach with a gun in my hand the cure

Well we know where we're going,but we dont know where we've been

I don't have to sell my soul,He's already in me stone roses

Quality opening line

Difficult choice, I could probably come up with loads - such is the quality of Mozzers lyrics.

Soon I discovered that this rock thing was true

Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet
All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world
So there was only one thing that I could do
Was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long

In the evening, When the day is done
I'm looking for a woman, but the girl don't come
So don't let her, Play you for a fool
She don't show no pity baby, she don't make no rules

Guess Who ?

The last album from a great band, Led Zeppelin

Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day
