Kerouac, Shakespeare, and now...
The Idiot Bastard Son
by Frank Zappa
The idiot bastard son
(the father's a Nazi in congress today
The mother's a hooker somewhere in l.a.)
The idiot bastard son
(abandoned to perish in back of a car
Kenny will stash him away in a jar)
The idiot boy!
(all the time he would spend at the church he'd attend...
Warming his pew)
Kenny will feed him & Ronnie will watch
The child will thrive & grow
And enter the world
Of liars & cheaters & people like you
Who smile & think you know
What this is about
(you think you know everything... maybe so)
The song we sing, do you know?
We're listening...
The idiot boy!
(all the time he would spend all the colors he'd blend...
Where are they now?)

Sulky - yep, I should have left that one for Mood. I liked that song back in the day. I made up for it by posting Keruoac and Zappa, but you're right, I just can't wash it off...

-I'd Love To Write Another Song
Van Morrison
I'd love to write another song
But nothing seems to come
I'd love to write another song
To carry me along
Make some money, pay the bills
Keep me busy too
I'd love to write another love song
I'd love to write another song
I'm searching everywhere
Though I look for inspiration sometimes
It's just not there
I have to work, I have to play
I have to get in step
If I could write another love song
I know it sure would help
I'd love to write another song
Baby especially for you
I'd love to write another song
And feel things bright and new
In poetry I'd carve it well
I'd even make it rhyme
I'd love to write another song
Just to get some peace of mind
I'd love to write another song
To get some peace of mind
I'd love to write another song
Baby for some peace of mind.

Traffic, "You Can All Join In"
Here's a little song you can all join in with
It's very simple and I hope it's new
make your own words up if you want to
Any old words that you think will do
King Crimson, "Happy With What You Have to Be Happy With"
And when I have some words
This is the way I'll sing
through a distortion box
to make them menacing
I'm gonna have to write a chorus
we're gonna need to have a chorus
and this would seem to be as good a place as any
to sing it 'til I'm blue in the face
. . . .
I guess we'll repeat the chorus
We're gonna repeat the chorus
I guess we'll repeat the chorus
We're gonna repeat the chorus
