If a picture paints a thousand words,
Then why can’t I paint you?
The words will never show the you I’ve come to know.

What’s the ugliest part of your body?
Some say your nose
Some say your toes
But I think it’s YOUR MIND

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant tide
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine

Drive your bargains
Push your papers
Win your medals
F*ck your strangers
Don’t it leave you on the empty side

Both literature and sorta lyrics in this case:
Alice did not feel encouraged to ask any more questions about it, so she turned to the Mock Turtle, and said “What else had you to learn?”
“Well, there was Mystery,” the Mock Turtle replied, counting off the subjects on his flappers, “Mystery, ancient and modern, with Seaography; then Drawling – the Drawling-master was an old conger-eel, that used to come once a week: he taught us Drawling, Stretching, and Fainting in Coils.”
Bill Bruford - “Fainting in Coils”
The Tennessee Stud was long and lean
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
He had the nerve and he had the blood
There never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud

An excellent grammar lesson:
If you do less crying,
There’ll be fewer tears.

But the ending always comes at last.
Endings always come too fast.
They come too fast
But they pass too slow.
I love you and that’s all I know.

Chas, I think you mean “ipso fatso” as a fellow All in the Family and A. Bunker fan can attest.
There will never be another Archie… 
Archie:
Edith, go set the alarm clock for 1997.
Edith:
You’re gonna sleep for 20 years?
Archie:
If it was good enough for Rip Van Heussen…
Edith, Mike, Gloria:
Winkle.
Archie:
Alright, Winkle Van Heussen, then ipso fatso, it’s good enough for Archie Bunker.

Sad but true…
Sad yes, but I know of kids falling off tailgates and pickup beds including dogs, fortunately not my vehicles.

It’s more about the attitude.
I’m not a “hold my beer” type, by any means. No “roof-surfing” and I wear my seatbelt. 
I know that you’re no good at all.
You keep on drinking too much whiskey,
You’re taking too much Seconal.

She tapes her regrets to the microphone stand
She says, “You can’t hold the hand of a Rock and Roll Man” (very long)

All I have is all I need
And it all comes down to you and me
How far away this world becomes
In the harbor of each other’s arms.

How do I know my youth is all spent?
My get up and go has got up and went
In spite of it all, I’m able to grin
When I think of the places my get up has been.
