I'm ...A great topic...and I love your choices. I'm crap at remembering lyrics but there are one or two that stick, a favourite of mine is from Morrissey's Come Back To Camden "under slate-grey Victorian sky, here you'll find, despair and I". Mind you, once you start on Morrissey lyrics I suspect there's no end to the list.<br />I asked Mr SDS about his after I'd read your post last night, as I knew he'd have a few.. so I must just give a quick mention to his choice from School's Out for the lines "Well we got no class, and we got no principles, and we got no innocence, we can't even think of a word that rhymes".

I'll give a shout out to Tony Asher because he's the one who could get lost in this post. He called himself Brian Wilson's "interpreter" during Pet Sounds. Much like Van Dyke Parks during SMiLE, he had to put up with a lot of garbage from Mike Love and the other Beach Boys who didn't understand Brian's vision. The general ideas for lyrics were conveyed by Brian, but they are actually Tony's lines on eight of the songs. The man who wrote the words to one of the most beautiful albums ever went on to make a living as a commercial jingle writer.
