1. Imagine a picture of me and you, Only you're not in it
http://www.patmccurdy.com/

Imagine A Picture
I'm a patient man you know I am
But you're pushing me to the limit
Imagine a picture of me and you
Only you're not in it

You've been on my back for a trillion years
I can't take another minute
Imagine a picture of me and you
Only you're not in it

Imagine a picture of me in a Cadillac
Speeding out of town
Imagine a picture of our happy home
Burning to the ground

It's an endless fight -- I'm wrong you're right
There's no way I can win it
Imagine a picture of me and you
Only you're not in it

And here's the reply to that song:

Screw You
You wanna know what I've been doing
Since you left me with a broken heart
I get the feeling that you're hoping
That I'm still miserable, still torn apart
You wanna know what I've been up to
Since you walked out and turned me upside down
Well, I won't lie to you

Chorus
I've been going out, having fun, making friends
Screw you
Going places, running wild, meeting people
It's true

Doing things I couldn't do
All those years I spent with you
Never thought forgetting you
Would be so easy

You only come back when you want to make sure
That you're still in control
Now and then you have to let me know
That you own my heart and soul
And you don't care what I've been doing
Since you've left me, I'll tell you anyway
And I won't lie to you

Chorus

One thing you can do for me:
Get out of my memory
I never thought that being free
Would feel so joyful

You say this is how our relationship ends
We can still be friends
I don't believe I've ever heard
Such utter bullshit

Well, I've been going out, having fun, making friends
Screw you
Going places, running wild, meeting people
Screw you
Going out, getting drunk, having sex
Screw you
Going out, writing checks, using your bank card
Screw you
Going out, having fun, making friends
Screw you

2. Yeah, that's pretty cold
But it doesn't cut like:

So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Take heed of the stormy weather
And yes there is something you can send back to me
Spanish boots of spanish leather

Dylan doesn't even care to hate.

3. I gotta go with another Dylan song-Positively 4th Street
Not really "it's over", but certainly has the "f*ck off" part down cold:
You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning

You got a lotta nerve
To say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that's winning

You say I let you down
You know it's not like that
If you're so hurt
Why then don't you show it

You say you lost your faith
But that's not where it's at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it

I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You're in with

Do you take me for such a fool
To think I'd make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he don't know to begin with

You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, "How are you?" "Good luck"
But you don't mean it

When you know as well as me
You'd rather see me paralyzed
Why don't you just come out once
And scream it

No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief
Perhaps I'd rob them

And now I know you're dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Don't you understand
It's not my problem

I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is
To see you

4. Oh yea
Best lie down and die song ever.

But Boots has that sexual tension, then . . . nothing.

Devastating.

10. Great Dylan song - was on the radio today
I was driving around to kind of let my thoughts resettle (I've had what you might call a rough past five days), and 97.1 WDRV - The Drive started Positively 4th Street Up.

It made me feel much, much, much, much, much, much better

5. I Useta Lover-- Funniest Lyrics, it was really popular in Belfast.....
When I was there 10+ years ago........
It's actually a really peppy tune, I think you have to hear it to get the full effect, but the peeking up her skirt in church is so hilarious!


Artist Lyrics: The Saw Doctors
Song Lyrics: I Useta Lover
Album Lyrics: If This Is Rock'N'Roll, I Want My Old Job Back


I have fallen for another she can make her own way home
And even if she asked me now I'd let her go alone
I useta see her up the chapel when she went to Sunday mass
And when she'd go to receive, I'd kneel down there
And watch her pass
The glory of her ass
I useta to love her, I useta love her once
A long, long time ago
I useta to love her, I useta love her once
A long long time ago
It's gone , all my lovin' is gone
It's gone , all my lovin' is gone
D'you remember her collecting for concern on Christmas eve
She was on a forty eight hour fast just water and black tea
I walked right up and made an ostentatious
Contribution
And I winked at her to tell her I'd seduce her in the future
When she's feelin looser
So now you know the truth of it she's no longer my obsession
Though the thoughts and dreams i had of her would take six months in confession
See i met this young one Thursday night and she's inta free expression
And her mission is to rid the world of this sinful repression
Then we had a session
It's gone , long , long gone
I have fallen for another and she can make her own way home

8. I still like "Get Out of My Life" as performed by the Jerry Garcia Band
Edited on Sun Nov-28-04 08:41 PM by ET Awful
Get out of my life woman
I don't love you no more
Get out of my life woman
I don't love you no more
Get out of my life woman
Nothin' but heartaches by the score

Get out of my eyes teardrops
I've got to see my way around
Get out of my eyes teardrops
I've got to see my way around
Get out of my eyes teardrops
Nothin' but heartaches by the pound

Get out of my life woman
I don't love you no more
Get out of my life woman
I don't love you no more
Get out of my life woman
Nothin' but heartaches by the score

Get out of my life woman
I don't love you no more
Get out of my life woman
I don't love you no more
Get out of my life woman
Nothin' but heartaches by the score

Get out of my eyes teardrops
I've got to see my way around
Get out of my eyes teardrops
I've got to see my way around
Get out of my eyes teardrops
Nothin' but heartaches by the pound

Get out of my life woman
I don't love you no more
Get out of my life woman
I don't love you no more
Get out of my life woman
Nothin' but heartaches by the score

Get out of my life woman
Nothin' but heartaches by the score
Get out of my life woman
Nothin' but heartaches by the score

another top on my list would be B.B. Kings' "The Thrill Is Gone" (also performed by Jerry at times)

The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong baby
And you'll be sorry someday

The thrill is gone
It's gone away from me
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Although I'll still live on
But so lonely I'll be

The thrill is gone
It's gone away for good
Oh, the thrill is gone baby
Baby its gone away for good
Someday I know I'll be over it all baby
Just like I know a man should

You know I'm free, free now baby
I'm free from your spell
I'm free, free now
I'm free from your spell
And now that it's over
All I can do is wish you well

9. Sick of You: Gwar
Your socks they smell, your feet they stink,
You never take a bath.
Your nose it runs, you bust your buns,
You always finish last.

Sick! (Sick) Of!
(Of) Youuuuu.
I'm so sick, so sick of you.
Your face is gross, you eat white toast,
You don't know what to do.
It's just your luck, you really suck,
That's all - I'm sick of you

(Bring it down... I said bring it down! Thank you)
Don't ya know? So sick of you.
Things you say, and all the things you do.

Human filth.. Sick!

14. If The Phone Doesn't Ring It's Me
http://www.lyrics.ly/lyrics.php/Jimmy+Buffett/Lyrics/If+The+Phone+Doesn't+Ring+It's+Me

If the phone doesn't ring
You'll know that it's me
I'll be out in the eye of the storm
If the phone doesn't ring
You know that I'll be
Where someone can make me feel warm

15. I was thinking You're Time is Gonna Come
and then I saw it mentioned in the Led Zep thread.

There are so many good Get Lost songs and a lot of them are by Bob Dylan or Led Zeppelin. I know its corny but I like Time for Me To Fly by REO Speedwagon.

16. I almost forgot "One Less Set of Footsteps" by Jim Croce
We been runnin' away from
Somethin' we both know
We've long run out of things to say
And I think I better go

So don't be getting' excited
When you hear that slammin' door
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'

And we've been hidin' from somethin'
That should have never gone this far
But after all it's what we've done
That makes us what we are

And you been talkin' in silence
If it's silence you adore
Oh there'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'

Well there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor
One less man a walkin'
One less pair of jeans upon your door
One less voice a talkin'

You say that tomorrow's a dream away
and today has turned to dust
Your silver tongue has turned to clay
And your golden rule to rust
If that's the way that you want it
That's the way I want it more
There'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'

Well there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor
One less man a walkin'
One less pair of jeans upon your door
One less voice a talkin'

There'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin'
