Got to be...

You can stand under my umbrella
Ella (repeat)

Such eloquence, such wordsmith, I really do love it! :D

Maybe because it's from a fit bird from my hometown :roll:

Knock me down I'll get right back up again

Well I'm a west coast struttin'
One bad mother
Got a rattlesnake suitcase
Under my arm
Said I'm a mean machine
Been drinkin' gasoline
An honey you can make my motor hum
I got one chance left
In a nine live cat
I got a dog eat dog sly smile
I got a Molotov cocktail with a match to go
I smoke my cigarette with style
An I can tell you honey
You can make my money tonight

Nightrain. G'n'R at their best.

If Ever There'd Be A Perfect Rhyme
It Would Spill Over All Space And Time
Beyond The Beyond And Past The Past
Without Mold Or Frame Or First Or Last

Something Never Seen Or Found Or Heard
That Thing Of Unreal Equally Blurred
To Such A Moot Point It's All There Is
Not A Game To Play Or Joke To Quiz

The Laughing Will Stop Or Just Begin
The Singing Will Die To Holy Sin
In This No World No Place To Have Time
You'll Find That You Are That Perfect Rhyme

You can't declare yourself the winner Stu.
You have to wait for somebody who has nothing to offer to the thread but a sycophantic smilie!

What about that band with the "don't Sit on a chimney" line - whoever they are...I forget... they played acoustic at Glaston, suffer from over-exposure to Dylan at an early age....

K, it doesn't rhyme (is only one line), but current line of the year is

"Your mouth should be boarded up"

Porcupine Tree- Fear of a Blank Planet. Awesome!

Oh and the chorus to Lazarus, but the same band-

"Follow me down to the valley below
and you know
Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul"

Beautiful

That's cos he missed the previous lines which were

"A bullet in ya head" (repeat until Dan's line)

Personally I prefer Killing In The Name

"F*** you, I won't do what you tell me!" (Repeat) :D

Great song too, reminds me of a time a few years ago, when one of the XFM Dj's played the Album version, not the Radio Edit. At the end of the song all he said was "Opps, I think I'm going to get told off for playing that" :D

But Fonda ain't got a motor in the back of her Honda

Carter USM and I give you..............

Sheriff Fatman started out in business
as a granny farmer
he was infamous for fifteen minutes
and he appeared in Panorama
Then he somehow got himself on board
The Starship Enterprise Allowance Scheme
With a Prince of Wales award
for pushing valium and amphetamines
Now he's moving up onto second base
behind Nicholas Van Wotsisface
At six foot six and a hundred tons
the undisputed king of the slums
With more alias' than Klaus Barbie
the master butcher of Leigh-on-Sea
Just about to take the stage
the one and only
hold the front page
Fatman's got something to sell
to the capital's homeless
At The Crossroads Motel
for the no-fixed-abodeless
Where you can live life in style
you can sleep in a closet
And if you flash him a smile
he'll take your teeth as deposit
There's bats in the belfry
the windows are jammed
The toilets ain't healthy
and he don't give a damn
he just chuckles and smiles
and laughs like a madman,
a born again Rachman
Here comes Sheriff Fatman
With his valium, amphetamines
his sick notes and his phoney prescriptions
And just when you thought it was safe
to go back into the kitchen, Dead legs and cracked heads
Bunk-beds and breakfasts
Wake up you sleepy headcases . . . check this . . .
Moving up now to take the place
of Nicholas Van Wotsisface
At six foot six and a hundred tons
the undisputed king of the slums
With more alias' than Klaus Barbie
the master butcher of Leigh-on-Sea
In a hatchback from Notre Dame,
the one and only Sheriff Fatman
In goes another left hook
and now I'm losing my patience
Someone call up Roger Cook and The United Nations
he's buying up houses for hasbeens (help me)
From Lands End to Southend and Chelsea
There's bats in the belfrey
the windows are jammed
The toilets ain't healthy
he don't give a damn
He just chuckles and smiles
and laughs like a madman
Ladies and gentlemen,
I give you . . .
SHERIFF FATMAN!
