Here are a few of mine… helplessly stuck in my brain for eternity.

“And let us not forget to toast, everyone who might have missed the boat”
Devo – That’s Good
Why? Dunno. Just a nice thought I guess. Catchy though.

“I could have been someone” (Shane)
“Well so could anyone” (Kirsty)
Pogues w/ Kirsty MacColl – Fairytale of New York
Why? All-time classic slam. Ouch! Guess we can all relate

“And the man at the back said ‘everyone attack’ and it turned into a ballroom blitz”
Sweet – Ballroom Blitz
Why? What a great image! Can't you just picture it?

“Hope you’re happy, Sandy Allen, hope your garden is blooming”
Split Enz – Hello Sandy Allen
Why? An open letter to a woman whose outlook remained bright despite a tremendous physical handicap

“The human race is becoming a disgrace”
Johnny Rotten and Afrika Bambaataa (aka Time Zone) – World Destruction
Why? Quintessential punk sentiment from a punk icon. Classic delivery too.

Cool stuff Dave! Splitz Enz seems to have a lot of good open letters...Message to my Girl anyone? Here's some of mine:

"And all my friends just might ask me,
they say, Martin maybe one day you'll find true love.
aaahI saay maybe..."
- Look of love,

[yubo]

as the come to me:

I’m taking a ride with my best friend
we’re flying high; we’re watching the world pass us by
never want to come down bever want to put my feet back down
On the ground

[Bob-O]

Two songs that got me thru mildly turbulent teen years:

"No I'll stand up again and I'll run
I'll jump up 'til I touch the sun
'Cause I won't be the one to be boud
By the sound of 'If Only' "
Hazel O'Connor - If Only

"Because you're young
There

[Plata66]

Devo-Shrivle up:It’s rule #1 living right isn’t fun
Time-tested and true you Gotta pooty poo-poo

Stan Ridgeway-Don't Box Me In:And if sometimes
I can't seem to talk
You'll know this blackboard lacks
A piece of chalk
