    I never ever ask where do you go
    I never ever ask what do you do
    I never ever ask what's in your mind
    I never ever ask if you'll be mine
    Come and smile don't be shy
    Touch my bum this is life, ooh




    I cry every time it comes on.

    You let me violate you, you let me desecrate you
    You let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you

    Help me, I broke apart my insides, help me, I've got no soul to sell
    Help me, the only thing that works for me, help me get away from myself

    I wanna f*ck you like an animal
    I wanna feel you from the inside
    I wanna f*ck you like an animal
    My whole existence is flawed
    You get me closer to God

    You can have my isolation, you can have the hate that it brings
    You can have my absence of faith, you can have my everything.

    Help me tear down my reason, help me, it's your sex I can smell
    Help me, you make me perfect, help me become somebody else

    Come pick me up
    Take me out
    **** me up
    Steal my records
    Screw all my friends
    They're all full of ****
    With a smile on your face
    And then do it again
    I wish you would

    Happiness is nothing but the flow of serotonin in your head,
    nothing got to do with Jesus Christ,
    nothing got to do with wrong or right,
    oh help me out friend, but can it be right?
    that it all boils down to how the chemicals flow to your soul?

    You took my dreams from me
    When I first found you
    I kept them with me babe
    I put them with my own
    Can't make it all alone
    I've built my dreams around you

    It's believed to be a newborn baby unfortunately, but Bobbie has always refused to confirm.

    There was a film inspired by it (which Gentry was involved in the writing of) however the above doesn't happen in the film.

    I think the lyrics to Coat of Many Colours by Dolly Parton are really beautiful. Always gives me a lift and a sense of perspective:
    Back through the years
    I go wonderin once again
    Back to the seasons of my youth
    I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
    And how my momma put the rags to use
    There were rags of many colors
    Every piece was small
    And I didn't have a coat
    And it was way down in the fall
    Momma sewed the rags together
    Sewin every piece with love
    She made my coat of many colors
    That I was so proud of
    As she sewed, she told a story
    From the bible, she had read
    About a coat of many colors
    Joseph wore and then she said
    Perhaps this coat will bring you
    Good luck and happiness
    And I just couldn't wait to wear it
    And momma blessed it with a kiss
    Chorus:

    My coat of many colors
    That my momma made for me
    Made only from rags
    But I wore it so proudly
    Although we had no money
    I was rich as I could be
    In my coat of many colors
    My momma made for me

    So with patches on my britches
    Holes in both my shoes
    In my coat of many colors
    I hurried off to school
    Just to find the others laughing
    And making fun of me
    In my coat of many colors
    My momma made for me

    And oh I couldn't understand it
    For I felt I was rich
    And I told them of the love
    My momma sewed in every stitch
    And I told em all the story
    Momma told me while she sewed
    And how my coat of many colors
    Was worth more than all their clothes

    But they didn't understand it
    And I tried to make them see
    That one is only poor
    Only if they choose to be
    Now I know we had no money
    But I was rich as I could be
    In my coat of many colors
    My momma made for me

    From Bruce Springsteen’s Thunder Road:

    Have a little faith, there’s magic in the night
    You ain’t a beauty but hey you’re alright
    And that’s alright for me

    And now...
    That she's older
    In the embers of romance
    Pay two mortgages and leccy bills
    Been comfortable and that
    Nobody told her
    That she'd ever reach the stage
    Where her husband bores her
    Or she lies about her age
    He's compromising
    At least he's got a job for life
    Get born, get school, get job, get car
    Pay tax and find a wife
    And on that note
    The end can't come too soon
    If you're not living on the edge
    You take up too much room

    My fave song lyrics ever are "The River" by Bruce Springsteen. Basically every line is a belter but "Is a dream a lie if it don't come true" always struck me particularly hard.

    Fast Car written and sung by Tracy Chapman.
    If things aren't working out just get out and go somewhere, 'anyplace is better'.

    You got a fast car
    I want a ticket to anywhere
    Maybe we make a deal
    Maybe together we can get somewhere
    Anyplace is better
    Starting from zero got nothing to lose
    Maybe we'll make something
    Me, myself I got nothing to prove

    You're an old slut on junk
    Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
    You scumbag, you maggot
    You cheap lousy fàggot
    Happy Christmas your arse
    I pray God it's our last.
