My fountain pen leaks

My wife hollers at me and my kids are all freaks

Every side I get up on is the wrong side of bed

If it weren't so expensive I'd wish I were dead

— John Prine

Saint Genevieve can hold back the water

But saints don't bother with a tear stained eye

Like the man said, rode hard and put away wet

Throw away the bad news, and put it to rest

If learning is living, and the truth is a state of mind

You'll find it's better at the end of the line

— Jay Farrar

— Talking Heads, Making Flippy Floppy

You know it would be all right, be just fine

If the woman took one train, and left the other behind

Illusion it is just the same conclusion

I don't know how to play the game

Of what it is or how it's going to be

When one train is my friend and the other train is me

— Little Feat

The airlines lost the elephant's trunk

The roadie got the rabies and the scabies and the flu

They was low on morale, but they was high on glue

Hey look, Ma, here comes the elephant boy

Bundled all up in his corduroy

Headed down south towards Illinois

From the jungles of East St. Paul

— John Prine, Sabu Visits the Twin Cities Akone

By an x-ray machine

So he can see all of those pictures

That I've already seen

Just so he knows

— John Prine, There She Goes

Don’t play him cheap ‘cause you know he ain’t shy

He's doing the Monkey, the Mashed Potato, Jump back Jack, See you later, alligator

Come here sister, Papa's in the swing

He ain't too hip, now but I can dig that new breed, babe

He ain't no drag

He's got a brand new bag

— James Brown
