The one thing we need is a left handed monkey wrench.

With God given ass

He took it all too far

But boy could he play guitar.

Tom Waits

Pasties and a G-string

I was delayed, I was way-laid

An emergency stop

I smelt the last ten seconds of life

I crashed down on the crossbar

And the pain was enough to make

A shy, bald, Buddhist reflect

And plan a mass murder

Who said lied I'd to her?

I'll find someone that's not going cheap in the sales

Hear the rime of the Ancient Mariner

See his eyes as he stops one of three

Mesmerizes one of the wedding guests

Stay here and listen to the nightmares of the Sea

And the music plays on, and the bride passes by

Caught by his spell and the Mariner tells his tale

Driven south to the land of the snow and ice

To a place where nobody's been

Through the snow fog flies the albatross

Hailed in God's name, hoping good luck it brings

And the ship sails on, back to the North

Through the fog and the ice and the albatross follows on

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

The mariner kills the bird of good omen

His shipmates cry against what he's done

But when the fog clears, they justify him

And make themselves a part of the crime

Sailing on and on and North across the sea

Sailing on and on and North 'til all is calm

The albatross begins with its vengeance

A terrible curse, a thirst has begun

His shipmates blame bad luck on the Mariner

About his neck, the dead bird is hung

And the curse goes on and on and on at sea

And the curse goes on and on for them and me

Day after day, day after day, we stuck nor breath nor motion

As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean

Water, water, everywhere and all the boards did shrink

Water, water, everywhere nor any drop to drink, no no

There calls the mariner, there comes a ship over the line

How can she sail with no wind in her sails and no tide

See, onward she comes

Onward she nears, out of the sun

See she has no crew

She has no life, wait but there's two

Death and she, Life in Death, they throw their dice for the crew

She wins the Mariner and he belongs to her now

Then crew one by one

They drop down dead, two hundred men

She, she, Life in Death

She lets him live, her chosen one

One after one by the star dogged moon

Too quick for groan or sigh

Each turned his face with a ghastly pang

And cursed me with his eye

Four times fifty living men and I heard nor sigh nor groan

With heavy thump, a lifeless lump

They dropped down one by one

The curse it lives on in their eyes

The Mariner he wished he'd die

Along with the sea creatures

But they lived on, so did he

And by the light of the moon

He prays for their beauty not doom

With heart he blesses them

God's creatures all of them too

Then the spell starts to break

The albatross falls from his neck

Sinks down like lead into the sea

Then down in falls comes the rain

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Hear the groans of the long dead seamen

See them stir and they start to rise

Bodies lifted by good spirits

None of them speak and they're lifeless in their eyes

And the revenge is still sought, penance starts again

Cast into a trance and the nightmare carries on

Now the curse is finally lifted

And the Mariner sights his home

Spirits go from the long dead bodies

Form their own light and the Mariner's left alone, yeah

And then a boat came sailing towards him

It was a joy he could not believe

The Pilot's boat, his son and the hermit

Penance of life will fall onto Him

And the ship it sinks like lead into the sea

And the hermit shrives the Mariner of his sins

The Mariner's bound to tell of his story

To tell his tale wherever he goes

To teach God's word by his own example

That we must love all things that God made

And the wedding guest's a sad and wiser man

And the tale goes on and on and on and on

Anything from Sympathy for the Devil:

Please allow me to introduce myself

I'm a man of wealth and taste

I've been around for a long, long year

Stole many a man's soul to waste

I stuck around St. Petersburg

When I saw it was a time for a change

Killed the czar and his ministers

Anastasia screamed in vain

.

Agreed, Sympathy for the Devil is one of the most carefully crafted narratives of any song ever.. Each line stands on its own. Doot doot. Doot doot.

But I believe in this and it's been tested by research:

He who fvcks nuns will later join the church.

A couple more from Frank Zappa...

"i'm only interested in two things, and that's

Titties and beer

You know what I mean?"

and...

"Watch out where the Huskies go

And don't you eat that yellow snow"

Several from the same song:

He played guitar like a natural disaster

But on the day that the shutdown came

all his old girlfriends looked the same

All his old girlfriends lined up in the sky

and told him to kiss the Twin Towns goodbye
