King of New York - from Newsies
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

King of Pain - The Police
He took Paulie and a couple of boys
and jacked the Coupe de Ville to Illinois.
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.
Willow Farm by Genesis. My brother was a huge Genesis fan when he was in high school, I, being 4 years younger, was unimpressed at the time but I still remember a lot of those songs.
I keep reaching up
but they drag me back down
Wherever I try to hide
I will always be found
the luminous grass of the prairie hides
feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
but weighty and unmovable
As black Dakota hills. ~ Riesa
Dogs of Lust - The The
Just a city boy
Born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere

Don't Stop Believin' - Journey (finally, one I knew without googling!)
Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
I like you

I *had* to google this one... Another interesting lyric from Basil!
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

I like Giants - Kimya Dawson
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.
Do, or do not. There is no try. - Yoda
Open Invitation ~ Santana
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
the luminous grass of the prairie hides
feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
but weighty and unmovable
As black Dakota hills. ~ Riesa
Sweet Jane by......Cowboy Junkies (since it's you, Idril-anyone else and I'd put Velvet Underground)
She set your goldfish free
And now she's sighing
Blew out your pilot light
And made a wish

And your song is Twisted by They Might Be Giants...and guess what?! I love that song!
Saw at least a hundred schoolgirls sobbing
into hankerchiefs as one.
I don't believe they knew
I was a schoolboy.

Mother Goose
Jethro Tull
He sees his children jumping off
At the stations -- one by one.
His woman and his best friend --
In bed and having fun.

Locomotive Breath ~ Jethro Tull
A thumbnail sketch, a jeweler's stone
A mean idea to call my own
the luminous grass of the prairie hides
feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
but weighty and unmovable
As black Dakota hills. ~ Riesa
