Mer desperat och frustrerat? Eller elakt och anklagande? Bitterhet och elände...
Har samlat på mig några kraftfulla rader som berör som taggtråd...
Looking hard into your eyes
There was nobody I'd ever known
- Jackson Browne
Your folks fell in love
Love's a very deep hole
- Loudon Wainwright III
The same thing that makes you live
can kill you in the end
- Neil Young
Is a dream a lie
that don’t come true?
Or is it something worse?
- Bruce Springsteen
What do we do now?
Shall we call the kids?
or shall we call the cops?
Can you hold me 'til this howling stops?
- John Hiatt
It's a wonder to me now
Why anybody even tries
- Eric Andersen
This sudden loneliness has made me dangerous
Please don't watch me while I fall apart
'Cause I'm sad and I'm angry
and armed with a broken heart
- John Gorka
I don’t know what love has got to do with happiness
- Jackson Browne
Them shadows close each and every breath
You are electric wire, sleepin' on my chest
- Chris Eckman
All your dreams and lovers won't protect you
they're only passing through you in the end
- Neil Young
Fascist architecture of my own design
Too long been keeping my love confined
You tore me out of myself alive
- Bruce Cockburn
We are idiots, babe
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves
- Bob Dylan
Ain't it funny how an old broken bottle
Looks just like a diamond ring
- John Prine
... men någonstans finns ändå lite distans och närheten till skämtet:
Two miles down the road:
Henry Tompkins wife
Three miles down the road:
and he's running for his life...!
- Richard Thompson
