He blew his mind out in a car

I love John Hiatt's song Icy Blue heart. 
"She came onto him, like a slow moving cold front"
"his beer was warmer than the look in her eye"

"Don't look at me, you fuck head - this nation's turning blue.  
Its stench if fouls the highway, its filth it sticks like glue"

Two of my favorites would be:

The nurse should not be the one who puts salt in your wounds.
But it's always with trust that the poison is feed with the spoon.

Or:

The world on you depends, our life will never end

How's this for a perfect scan:

Oh darling sugar honey
When it was nice and sunny
And when I had some money
We would go and see Echo And The Bunny

Lol. Only yesterday I posted a few lines from another HMHB song "Fuckin' Hell, it's Fred Titmus" on  @TimmyO's Facebook page.

Have to admit that I don't know the song, but what a superb lyric.

Underneath your dreamlit eyes, shades of sleep have driven you away
The moon is pale outside and you are far from here
Breathing shifts your careless head, untroubled by the chaos of our lives
Another day, another night has taken you again my dear
And you know that I'm gonna be the one who'll be there
When you need someone to depend upon
When tomorrow comes

How about some words from the subline Father John Misty -

First time you let me stay the night
Despite your own rules
You took off early to go cheat your way through film school
You left a note in your perfect script
Stay as long as you want
And I haven't left your bed since
(Chateau Lobby #4 (in C for two virgins)

or

Of the few main things I hate about her, one's her petty, vogue ideas
Someone's been told too many times they're beyond their years
By every half-wit of distinction she keeps around
And now every insufferable convo
Features her patiently explaining the cosmos
Of which she's in the middle
(The night Josh Tilman came to our apartment)

or

Living it up
Have it all
Pull more women than any two men or train can haul
But my baby, she does something way more impressive than the Georgia Crawl
She blackens pages like a Russian romantic
Gets down more often than a blowup doll
(Nothing good ever happened at the goddam thirsty crow)

or

Well you took me to the movies
You took me to the dance
You took me to your warehouse
Tied up in the back of your van
You said "whip it out"
And I started to shout
"I'm in love with the woman again!"

Well you took me to your office
We went to meet your folks
We went out to the garden shed
Where I took off all my clothes
And I was terrified by the look in your eyes
But there's a lot to loving I don't know

(Tee Pees 1 - 12)

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.

Magnetic Fields, I Have the Moon:

We have walked in ancient times
And we've been burned for many crimes
We have ended many lives
But we never really died

You have the sun, I have the moon

You have to fly around the world all day
To keep the sun upon your face
I'd like to come and comfort you
But I'd be blinded by the blue

You have the sun, I have the moon

You're bound to die under the sun
And I'll be doomed to carry on
You have become like other men
But let me kiss you once again

You have the sun, I have the moon

She's an old-time ambassador
Of sweet talking night walking games
Oh and she's known in the darkest clubs for pushing ahead of the dames
And if she says she can do it then she can do it
She don't make false claims

My real fav..

Someone painted 'April fool' in big black letters on a 'dead end' sign.. 

I had my foot on the gas as I left the road, and blew out my mind.

And who's all hung-up on that happiness thing? 
Who's trying to tune all the bells that he rings?
And who's in the corner and down on the floor? 
With pencil and paper just counting the score? 

But not the Buffalo Springfield version, I can't believe they didn't let Neil sing his own song.

Quality thread in my humble opinion. I am not ashamed to say I haven't heard some of these songs and some I am sure I wouldn't be into be still some incredible lyrics......
