Wittiest lyric?
I've all my wisdom teeth
Two up top, two beneath
But I recognize
My mouth says things
That aren't so wise

And if California slides into the ocean
Like the mystics and statistics say it will.
I predict this motel will be standing

One night we're playin' gin by a cracklin' fire
And I figured I'd make my play
I said babe with my boyish charm and good looks
How can you stand it for one more day
She said maybe its the skeevy look in your eyes
Or that your mind has turned to applesauce
The dreary architecture of your soul
I said - but what is it exactly turns you off?

Eminem's Mother's Day greeting from 'Cleaning out my Closet' is a bit alarming but candid all the same. Now I would never diss my own mama just to get recognition, take a second to listen who you
think this record is dissin', but put yourself in my position, just try to envision witnessin'
your Mama poppin' prescription pills in the kitchen, ****in' that someone's always goin'
through her purse and s**ts missin', going through public housing systems, victim of
Munchausen's syndrome, my whole life I was made to believe I was sick when I wasn't 'til I grew
up, now I blew up, it makes you sick to ya' stomach, doesn't it, wasn't it the reason you made
that Cd for me, ma, so you could try to justify the way you treated me, ma, but guess what, your
gettin' older now and it's cold when your lonely, and Nathan's growing up so quick, he's gonna
know that your phoney, and Hailie's getting so big now, you should see her, she's beautiful, but
you'll never see her, she won't even be at your funeral, see what hurts me the most is you won't
admit you was wrong, ****, do your song, keep tellin' yourself that you was a mom, but how dare
you try to take what you didn't help me to get, you selfish ****, I hope you f*****' burn in
hell for this s**t, remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me, well guess
what, I am dead, dead to you as can be...

"Three Days" - Willie Nelson (great performance by K.D. Lang)
Three days that I hate to see arrive,
Three days that I hate to be alive,
Three days filled with tears and sorrow,
Yesterday, today, and tommorrow.
There are three days I know I will be blue,
Three days, I'll dream of you,
And it does no good to wish these days will end,
'Cause the same three days start over again.
Three days that I dread to see arrive,
Three days that I hate to be alive,
Three days filled with tears and sorrow,
Yesterday, today, and tommorrow.

Bruce Cockburn - If i had a Rocket Launcher Here comes the helicopter -- second time today
Everybody scatters and hopes it goes away
How many kids they've murdered only God can say
If I had a rocket launcher...I'd make somebody pay
I don't believe in guarded borders and I don't believe in hate
I don't believe in generals or their stinking torture states
And when I talk with the survivors of things too sickening to relate
If I had a rocket launcher...I would retaliate
On the Rio Lacantun, one hundred thousand wait
To fall down from starvation -- or some less humane fate
Cry for guatemala, with a corpse in every gate
If I had a rocket launcher...I would not hesitate
I want to raise every voice -- at least I've got to try
Every time I think about it water rises to my eyes.
Situation desperate, echoes of the victims cry
If I had a rocket launcher...Some son of a **** would die

Jon, I can't imagine she'd leave you for Moshpit - everyone knows he's got an inflated sense of self-importance. And I've heard he can be quite violent too - if the stress of their relationship became too much, he'd probably pressure up against a wall and puncture on the nose, that would certainly rubber up the wrong way.

A firm favourite in the Kiosk household:- My wife Mary made a lovely shepherds pie & peas
With carrots and gravy, oh and cabbage as an additional green
I said that looks fantastic love and I tucked in hungrily
My daughter Karen didn’t, something I wish I’d seen
For soon my plate was empty, I said “Mary, is there any more?”
She said “No, love, but its treacle sponge for afters” and I said “phwoar”
I’d had a couple of mouthfuls, when I heard Karen declare
“I can’t eat any more of this shepherds pie mum”
Well it filled me with despair.
because if I’d known that I wouldn’t have started my sweet
But I can’t go back to savoury now
That shepherd’s pie was stunning
But I’m, halfway through my pudding
I can’t go back to savoury now
My taste buds would go crazy
And I can’t go back to savoury now
‘cause you can’t can you?
My tummy was in turmoil, I was panicked and confused
And as Karen’s dinner grew colder, so did my sweet
For my pleasure in that treacle sponge was now massively reduced
By the sight of fluffy potato, and glistening meat
Take this plate from me Oh Lord, before I go insane
Should I press on with my afters, or go back to my main?
Oh I can’t go back to savoury now
That shepherd’s pie was stunning
But I’m, halfway through my pudding
I can’t go back to savoury now, Oh No
My taste buds would go crazy
And I can’t go back to savoury now
I can’t go back, I won’t go back
I’d love to go back but I mustn’t do that
I can’t go back, I won’t go back
I’d love to go back obviously, but I mustn’t do that
At that moment I heard a sound, a scrape of knife on plate
As I watched Karen’s dinner go in the dog’s dish
My appetite now gone, my pudding suffered the same fate
I can only assume this appalling outcome,
Was God’s wish
‘Cause I can’t go back to savoury now
I can’t go back to savoury now
That shepherd’s pie was stunning
But I’m, halfway through my pudding
I can’t go back to savoury now
My taste buds would go crazy
And I can’t go back to savoury now
I can’t go back to savoury… now
