Not a great song, but yes a superb lyric

Help yourself to another piece of apple crumble.."

Rozz Williams - Flowers

Forget me not or I'll forget myself

All of the lyrics in this song are really good but this particular lyric really stood out for me...

"This is my voice.........

...............my weapon of choice"

Miss Grace Jones, opening track and line from the new Hurricane album.

"I 'am the Modern Man
With this guitar in hand
I'll do my best to try
To keep rock 'n roll alive!"

From Don't Let It End (Reprise) by Styx.

and Catch 22 says if I sing the truth
they won't make me an overnight star

There was no one to phone
I just chewed at the time

In my room
I keep pretending she's late

Roger Taylor - Future Management

You won't need nobody else but me...........
You'll find......
I'm gonna invite you to try my machines
Programme an offer you just can't refuse
I'm gonna invite you to share all my dreams
You've nothing to lose
Recycle your thoughts
I'll rewire your mind
I'll punch in some new points of view
To make sure you find
You've got nothing to lose
You don't need nobody else but me
