I'm not talking about the full lyrics, but just a phrase or a sentence that you feel is right up your alley.

One of my personal favourites is from Barmy by The Fall: I got everything I want except for money.

“Do You Believe In Shame” by Duran Duran

I heard you speak my name
Heard you singing The Stones
Maybe heard you laughing in a line of static
On my telephone

So why your eyelids are closed
Inside a case of rust
And did you have to change
All your poet's fire into frozen dust?

I try to justify it
To learn from your mistake
But where's the stupid lie that has to make its point
With such a pointless waste?”

Simon wrote the lyric for the song about his friend Dave Miles, who tragically died of a drug overdose.
