B. Dylan. Actually, almost any line from this song could make the "interesting lyrics" shortlist. Visons of Johanna

I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them but they were only satellites
Is it wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care

So it was his sk8teboard that he fell off of and not his bike as he claims.
Gottcha. ;)

There is no mercy
For those who have ability
And don't use it
Just waste it

Black Uhuru – Happiness
Well, my adrenaline was curdling like cream
As I was being led by the hand
Through the sound of sirens
And the distant noise of some drunken jazz band
Through the stench of disinfectant
That infected my head
Through the darkness of a corridor
And into a strangers bed


The Band, take a load (of Fanny.)
Fugazi - Smallpox Champion

We know how you got it
Your method equals
Wipe out…

Then you go buy them!
There's no excuses my friend
Let's push things forward

Gangsta rap?
She got lips all around the hole
Where she puts her food in
They call it THE MOUTH


Charlie's Enormous Mouth: Frank Zappa


This world is full of people who
Look a lot like Gavin McCloud


Nitro Burning Funny Cars: Dead Milkmen
I said, 'Honey, I don't feel so good, don't feel justified
Come on put a little love here in my void,' he said
'It's all in your head,' and I said, 'So's everything'
But he didn't get it I thought he was a man
But he was just a little boy


madonna -vogue
There were six men in Birmingham
In Guildford there's four
That were picked up and tortured
And framed by the law
And the filth got promotion
But they're still doing time
For being Irish in the wrong place
And at the wrong time

The Pogues - Streets Of Sorrow/Birmingham Six
This World Over - XTC


That's this world over
Or so it seems
That's this world over
The end of dreams

That's this world over, over, over and out.

"The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face"

is my all-time favorite Dylan lyric.
ooh, ooh, can I play

"When you cast your eyes upon the skyline
of this once proud nation
can you sense the fear and the hatred
growing in the hearts of its population"

The The 'The Beaten Generation'
I hate the countryside so much
I hate the countryfolk so much

The Fall - Contraflow

just discovered the second line is actually

I hate the contraflow so much

but even the place I found the lyrics say it sounds like Mark E. says country folk, I am betting that was the intent
there's my favorite rollercoaster
next to the blue water
the one only sissies ride
there's the sun
going down
creating that florescent glow
reminding me i'll never be able
to relive this day
except in memory

there's those big barking fish
in the concrete stream
growling for dog food
bulging dead eyes that gleam
but where's dad
and where is mom
looks like from here on out
it's just me and you
looks like from here on out
it's just me and you

red house painters- "rollercoaster"
But when you said that I wasn't worth talking to
I had to take your word on that
But if you'd known
How that would sound to me
You would have taken it back
And boxed it up and buried it in the ground
Boxed it up and buried it in the ground
Boxed it up and buried it in the ground
Burned it up and thrown it away

- Liz Phair, "The Divorce Song"

One of my favorite lyrics of all time….I adore the idea of words as a tangible thing you can bury and/or burn up. If only.

I also love the Billy Bragg line – good call, ggw.
