just thought of another (rather cruel) quip from my sister:

"I bet she's good at pool"

referring to an aunt who was regularly locked in the basement for hours on end by her abusive husband.....where they kept the pool table.

I may be just a foolish dreamer
But I don't care
'Cause I know my happiness is waiting out there somewhere
I'm searching for that silver lining
Horizons that I've never seen
Oh I'd like to take just a moment and dream my dream
Dream my dream
Zoom
I'd like to fly far away from here
Where my mind is fresh and clear
And I'd find the love that I long to see
Where everybody can be what they wanna be
I'd like the greet the sun each morning
And walk amongst the stars at night
I'd like to know the taste of honey in my life
Well I've shared so many pains
And I've played so many games
But everyone finds the right way
Somehow
Somewhere
Someday
Zoom
I'd like to fly far away from here
Where my mind can be fresh and clear
And I'll find the love that I long to see
People can be what they wanna be
I wish the world were truly happy
Living as one
I wish the word they call freedom someday would come
Someday would come
Zoom
I'd like to fly far away from here
Where my mind can be fresh and clear
And I'd find the love that I long to see
Everybody can be what they wanna be
Zoom
I'd like to fly away
Zoom
I'd like to fly away
Zoom
I'd like to fly away
You and me, baby
Walking free
Don't you wanna go?
Don't you wanna go?

Great song lyric quotes:

'Life is short if love is always over in the morning' (Sisters of Mercy, Temple Of Love)

'I was me but now he's gone' (Metallica, Fade To Black)

'When I was young PC meant Police Constable, Nowadays I can't seem to tell the difference' (Manic Street Preachers, PCP

'street's like a jungle so call the police, following the herd down to Greece, on holiday' (Blur, Girls and Boys)

'rent a flat above a shop/ cut your hair and get a job/ smoke some fags and play some pool/ pretend you never went to school/ still you'll never get it right/ when you're laid in bed at night/ watching 'roaches climb the wall/ know just one call to your dad would end it all for you' (Pulp, Common People)

'girls melting on the beach, lookin' so fine but they're so out of reach' (Bruce Springsteen, Sherry Darling)

The mere desire to be a politician should preclude one from ever being allowed to do so.

And if we're doing lyrics:
