King of New York - from Newsies
Quote:
In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
Butane in my veins and I'm out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose

It's the same old thing as yesterday"

King Of New York - Fun Lovin' Criminals

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
The Sound of Silence - Simon and Garfunkel
We're happy as fish and gorgeous as geese
And wonderfully clean in the morning.

Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours

Drain You - Nirvana
We all become important when we realize our goal
Should be to figure out our role within the context of the whole
And yeah, rock and roll is fun, but if you ever hear someone
Say you are huge, look at the moon, look at the stars, look at the sun
Look at the ocean and the desert and the mountains and the sky

You be you and let me be me
No strings attached emotionally
I wanna get a little crazy
That's puttin' it plain
You got the medicine and I got the pain.

But anyone who ever had a heart
Oh, they wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who's ever played a part
Oh, they wouldn't turn around and hate it

She set your goldfish free
And now she's sighing
Blew out your pilot light
And made a wish
I purposely picked lyrics that were in both versions so one could go either way. :pQuote:

Saw at least a hundred schoolgirls sobbing
into hankerchiefs as one.
I don't believe they knew
I was a schoolboy.

At the stations -- one by one.
His woman and his best friend --
In bed and having fun.
