"I think I'll go out and erabarrass myself by gettin' drunk and fallin' down in the street. You say I choose sadness, that it never once has chosen me. Maybe you're right."
 
May Elvis turn in his grave and Les Paul curse my dirty calloused fingers.

I lost the confidence to right a song so I found three simple chorRAB and held them together with my weak voice on an out of tune guitar my father gave to me.
Both are from "What We Worked For"
 
"Sitting on a hillside, watching all the people die
I feel much better on the other side" - Love, The Red Telephone

"With neon darkness shimmering through the haze
A sea of faces rippling in the heat
And through that namesless changing crowd
A sweet vibration seemed to fill the air" - The Zorabies, Hung Up on a Dream

"Hung velvet overtaken me
Dim chandelier awaken me
To a song dissolved in the dawn" - Beach Boys, Surf's Up
 
The MVPs - Turning My Heartbeat Up

"I've got a little volcano about to erupt, but all I can say is do you love me enough"

How to make smut sound innocent.
 
"The glass was raised, the fired rose
The fullness of the wine, the dim last toasting
While at port, adieu or die.

A choke of grief, heart-hardened I
Beyond belief a broken man too tough to cry.

Surf's up, aboard a tidal wave.
Come about hard and join the young and often spring you gave.
I heard the word,
Wonderful thing,
A children's song."

"Surf's Up" - The Beach Boys
 
I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you
But I get the feeling that you don’t like it
What’s with all the screaming?
You like monkeys, you like ponies
Maybe you don’t like monsters so much
Maybe I used too many monkeys
Isn’t it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ~ Jonathon Coulton

The last line is the one I love, but you need a little context.
 
"I wasn't sure that all of my worRAB could even try to hold the weight"

"If Love doth make men's lives too sour,
Let me not love, nor live henceforth.
Die shall my hopes, but not my faith,
That you that of my fall may hearers be
May here despair, which truly saith,
I was more true to Love than Love to me"

"This flesh and bone, it's just the way that we are tied in.. now there's no one home "

"Oh non, rien de rien, oh non, je ne regrette rien wenn ich ihre Haut verlie
 
And all the times I've been there, they didn't mean a thing
At least not to you, but I know they meant something to me
And I wish that I could give up, is that what you want from me?
Because I'm still your friend even if you don't want me to be

masquerade by much the same

Not a line, but 2nd and 3rd verse from "God Bless America" - James Mcmurtry

That thing don't run on french fry grease
That thing don't run on love and peace
Takes gasoline to make that thing go
Now bring your hanRAB up nice and slow

Negotiation's just no fun
And it don't serve our interests none
Gonna turn up the heat till it comes to a boil

"One thousand people
Did what they could.
They found the steeple
And tore out the wood.

Five hundred pieces
Means five hundred float.
One thousand people means
Five hundred don't."
