Les boys got leather straps
Les boys got SS caps
But they got no gun now
Get dressed up get a little risqué
Got to do a little S&M these days
It's all in fun now

(Dire Straits)

'Cause he doesn't like it looking like he looks back"

But good things are gone from those who are late"

I've had enough for one day"

Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life
Somewhere a queen is weeping
Somewhere a king has no wife"

Pretty Vacant
I don’t write songs about girls anymore
I have to write songs about women
No more boy meets girl-boy loses girl
More like guy tries to figure out what the hell went wrong,
I’m an adult now...

Impossible to pick a favorite but this song always ends up in my head on fun days in the saddle and seems appropriate for this forum:

Fire up the willing engine
Responding with a roar
Tires spitting gravel
I commit my weekly crime

Wind
In my hair
Shifting and drifting
Mechanical music
Adrenaline surge...

Well-weathered leather
Hot metal and oil
The scented country air
Sunlight on chrome
The blur of the landscape
Every nerve aware

Excerpt from Red Barchetta, Rush/Moving Pictures
RIP Neal Peart

It's better to lose a few beans from your bag
than to have no bag for your beans

I don't even know who I'm singing this to
but I know it's kind of strange,
I've got a very clear picture in my head
but I feel like I'm painting in the rain

I'm out, I'm out in bushes
Playing, playing with plastics
Birdbrain, they say I'm a birdbrain
If I am then can I just fly away
Shoe straps and eyelashes washing my brain
Twenty-five years are just washed down the drain

We don't rent pigs.
You know, baby
When I was taking my pantyhose out of their egg this evening
I thought: "I'm going to find that man that is the right shade of bottle tan
A man that smells like cocoa butter and cash"
Take me anyway you like it
In front of the fireplace
In front of your yacht
In front of my parents
I don't give a damn, baby, just take me

get it while it's easy
you've got a mother who sings to you
dances on the strings for you
opens her heart and brings to you
an honest lullaby

I hear your voice but I'm looking right in your eyes."
