Marilyn Manson has some amazing lyrics....(not quite positive he wrote them all despite him being credited.) however three that stick out are.

I am the god of f**k - Cake and Sodomy.

Your world is an ashtray, we burn and coil like cigarettes - The Reflecting God.

We’re on a bullet and were heading straight into God - The Death Song.

Not quite the correct thread but I’m off to see him tomorrow night - hope the stage set stands up

OOh yes, this (I keep changing my mind.)

Many years ago we had this at school, I varied between -

"It's cold outside, and the paint's peeling off my walls"

and

"My friend and I were talking one evening beside some burning wood."

At this precise moment I'm back with

It doesn't matter if we all die

In retrospect, I have to go with: "I lie when I drink, and I drink a lot. Don't believe me, when I've had a few..."

I still great opener for song and album.

This ^^ came to mind first followed by

"My brother knows Karl Marx, he met him eating mushrooms in the people's park"

and

"Don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work"

It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen

Absolutely great song! That guy was a genius, and the band were lightning in a bottle.

it's either: "lay me down the long white line" or "time takes a cigarette...puts it in your mouth"
the first line of 100 years comes close as does "i would have liked to have been deep frozen too!" (spirit of the age- hawkwind).

Awesome.

Hey kids, shake it loose together.

Huge fan!

Just listened to this for the first time in ages & it's a great opener.

Peeling the skin back from my eyes I felt surprised

From Uncertain Smile by The The.

Always takes me back to student days in the Fav and so must be followed by Cat People and Alice on the phone playlist.

Just a lovely one, and absolutely 70s ...

Diamonds And Dust - Sin City

AC/DC trip tonight, oooo'errr missus or mister

Lay me down the long white line
Leave the sirens far behind me

The return of the Thin White Duke
Throwing darts in lovers' eyes


If you squeeze my lizard
I'll put my snake on you


So I'm down and so I'm out
But so are many others
sinatra - cycles

Only came outside to watch the night fall with the rain
duran duran - planet earth

Bass! How low can you go?

Right now, it's time to...
Kick out the jams, motherfuckers!

I may not always love you
