1. You can consume all the beauty in a room.

2. I can't help it 'bout the shape I'm in, I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin.

3. If you smile at  me, I will understand;  'cause that is something everybody everywhere does in the same language.

4. Forward he cried from the rear, and the front rank died.

5. When my big ugly car won't climb this hill, I'll write a suicide not on a hundred dollar bill.

10. Everyday I get in the queue, to get on the bus that takes me to you.

11. Leaves are falling all around, It's time I was on my way. Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay.

12. If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me?  For I must be traveling on now, 'cause there's too many places I've got to be.

13. The past is gone. It went by like dust to dawn. Isn't that the way?  Everybody's got their dues in life to pay.

14. I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy.

15. They're beating plowshares into swords for this tired old man that we elected king.

16. Speak out against the madness, you've got to speak your mind, if you still dare.

17. If I spring a leak, she mends me.  I don't have to speak, she defends me.

18. She was just another notch on my guitar.

19. Well there's a rose in the fisted glove, and the eagle flies with the dove.
 
20. Don't touch my bags if you please Mr. customs man.
