Just heard a good one? Just remembered one from way back when? Post it here.

[CameronBornAndBred]

White on white translucent black capes
Back on the rack
Bela Lugosi's dead
The bats have left the bell tower
The victims have been bled
Red velvet lines the black box
Bela Lugosi's dead

[Miles]

From "Condition Oakland" by Jawbreaker.

People kill me these days.
There's keys in their eyes,
but they lock from the inside.

[DukeUsul]

I'm incapable of listening or hearing or retaining the lyrics to songs.

[DukePA]

Duke is going to win tonight!
Carolina go to hell, eat shit!

Get up the steam team
Fight Blue Devils, Fight!!

Go!

Go!

Rip 'em up
Tear 'em up
Give 'em hell Duke!

(my most favorite song in the whole wide world )

[captmojo]

So I open my door to my enemies
and ask can we wipe the slate clean
but they tell to please go and f*#k myself
you know, you just can't win

David Gilmour

This one goes out to you and yours
worldwide
I say hey I'll be gone today
But I'll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see
the less I know
But I know one thing
That I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

BLUE & WHITE

Duke, we thy anthems raise
For all thy praises untold
We sing for the Blue and White
Whose colors we uphold .....(TO HELL WITH CAROLINA!)
Firm stands our line of blue
For we are loyal through and through
Fighting with the spirit true
For the love of old D. U.

Fight! We’ll fight!
With all our strength and might
Win, we can
So here we give a hand
Hey!
Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah!
D-U-K-E, rah!
D-U-K-E

FIGHT BLUE DEVILS

Fight, fight Blue Devils
Fight for the Blue and White
Fight fight team
There’s a victory there for you
Go Devils!
We are gonna win tonight
Carolina goodnight .....(BEAT STATE!)
So turn on the steam team
Fight Blue Devils, fi-i-ight!

[Lavabe]

Johnny Clegg, from "The Crossing:"
Through all the days that eat away
at every breath that I take
through all the nights I've lain alone
in someone else's dream, awake
all the words in truth we have spoken
that the wind has blown away
it's only you that remains with me
clear as the light of day

Mary had a little lamb, a little lamb, a little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb, it's fleece was white as snow!

[CathyCA]

One of my all-time favorites:

I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a pop-top
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home
But there's booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on.

Wastin' away again in Margaritaville. . .

[CameronBornAndBred]

Mary had a little lamb, a little lamb, a little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb, it's fleece was white as snow!

[devildeac]

Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
