Wake up now, this is the time you've waited for.
Far below, where shadows fester as they grow,
An army thousands strong, obsessed by right and wrong,
They sense their time is coming near.
An absolute classic, from their greatest album imho, perhaps a bit too obscure when comparing it to Up The Junction by Squeeze which has universal appeal.
Duke one of the great albums recorded at Abba's Polar Studios along with Led Zeppelin's In Through The Out Door.

Couple of very recent ones that have struck a chord:-

The image in your eyes
Reflecting the pain that has taken you
I hear it in your voice, so ridden with shame
From what's ailing you


Listen, everyone
The time will come when all of us say goodbye
Feel that aching in your heart, leaving you broken inside
But we're never really gone, as long as there's a memory in you mind

Do you realize that you have the most beautiful face
Do you realize we're floating in space,
Do you realize that happiness makes you cry
Do you realize that everyone you know someday will die

I knew a girl named Nikki I guess you could say she was a sex fiend,
I met her in a hotel lobby masturbating with a magazine,
She said how'd you like to waste some time ...
and I could not resist when I saw little Nikki grind.
Der-der-derder der...der derder deh der derrrr...

I came here to post this, you beat me to it. Such a good track.

A few from me

Rolling up tab ends that the baby's collected
Waiting for the number that clicks on the wall.
It's open season on the weak and the feeble
Their meagre ambitions, their impotent fury

The time I think most clearly, the time I drift away
Is on the bus-ride that meanders up these valleys of green and grey
I get to think about what might have been and what may yet come true
And I get to pass a rainy mile thinking of you

You used to say that this town was built in a wrong place
I could always feel something was strange – such a strong taste
You were so much in love with her that it drew you away
To chasing shadows out across the moors on an August day

We skipped the light fandango
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
but the crowd called out for more

So many of the entries I simply don't know!

This one however...

And these are simple lyrics but are from one of my favourite singles eva-


I can't get through to you
Even when I do
You slip away like sand
Through the fingers of my hand


... from A Thousand Feet Below You.

I met a gin-soaked, bar-room queen in Memphis
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
She had to heave me right across shoulder
'Cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind

It's a God-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling no
And her daddy has told her to go

Nights in white satin,
Never reaching the end,
Letters I've written,
Never meaning to send.

There is no culture is my brag,
Your taste for bullst reveals a lust for a home of office
This is the home of the vain!
This is the home of the vain!

A serious man
In need of a definitive job
He had drunk too much

The Indians send signals
From the rocks above the pass
The cowboys take positions
In the bushes and the grass…

Though later verses are better.

Just a perfect day
Drink Sangria in the park
And then later
When it gets dark, we go home

Vom Feuer das die Haut verbrennt

Cheating a little...

Underneath the underlying tones and dizzy melodies
Next to the intelligent guitars
You'll find frailty, beauty, sex as art
And something or other about dolphins

Few from me during my lunch break, may well be more later.

If I were to say to you
Can you keep a secret?
Would you know just what to do
Or where to keep it?

Lets go down to The Sunset Grill
Watch the working girls go by
See the basket people walk around and mumble
Gaze out at the auburn sky.

Harry got up
Dressed all in black
Went down to the station
And he never came back

There's gotta be a record of you someplace
You gotta be on somebody's books
The lowdown, a picture of your face
Your injured looks

The festival was over, the boys were all plannin' for a fall
The cabaret was quiet except for the drillin' in the wall
The curfew had been lifted and the gamblin' wheel shut down
Anyone with any sense had already left town

I met her in a poolroom
Her name I didn't catch
She looks like something special
The kind who'd understand

Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone.
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you.
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song,
I just can't remember who to send it to.

More N Young.

He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
In that palace in the sun.
