'Twas in the darkest depths of Mordor I met a girl so fair
But Gollum and the evil one crept up and slipped away with her, her, her, her, her, yeah

Somewhere on a desert highway, she rides a Harley Davidson, her long blonde hair flyin in the wind (NY)
Cause I can’t make you love me if you don’t, you can’t make your heart feel something it won’t, here in the dark in these final hours, I will lay down my heart and I’ll feel the power, but you won’t, no you won’t. (BR via PSU legend Mike Reid)

I'd say you're a pretty good songwriter if you can write this and a dozen others just as good all on a 10 minute ski lift ride.
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Same writer, much earlier song. Same results. Very underrated songwriter imo this one is. Should have received every accolade possible.
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me

In somebody else’s sky, but why, why, can’t it be mine? - PJ

What if I told you there are 2 lines that explain an entire misunderstood song, yet they are pretty much ignored? You probably knew that already. You're smart people. I guess.
(Whoo-woo, whoo-woo) what's my name, I tell you one time
(Whoo-woo, whoo-woo) you're to blame, ooh

Robert Plant was asked about that in an interview and he said those were the lyrics he most regretted. Said something to the effect he was really into The Hobbit at the time but it was fleeting and looking back he forced it into the song.
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
One begins to read between the pages of a look
The shape of sleepy music and suddenly you're hooked

There's something happening here.

I take back my joke. The Humble Pie rings a bell. I like EC, but don't remember that song.
More SM - I think we've forgotten how great he was. Imagine him and Boz Scaggs in the same HS in TX (I think), and the same band in Cali. Crazy talent.
Some people call me Maurice

This was a very confusing post for me. I instantly went from "Eff Yeah, 30 Days in the Hole" to "what the hell?"

My fav:
I took my GPZ out for a ride
The engine felt good between my thighs
The air felt cool, it was 40 degrees outside
I rode to Pennsylvania near the Delaware Gap
Sometimes I got lost and had to check the map
I stopped at a roadside diner for a burger and a coke
I knew a girl named Nikki
I guess you could say she was a sex fiend
I met her in a hotel lobby
Masturbating with a magazine

I remember that EC song. It was on the Trust album. It had the line "Good manners and bad breath will get you nowhere."
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to

The Cuervo Gold, the fine Columbian
Make tonight a wonderful thing
I'll say it again...
Ten years ago, I walked these streets my dream were riding tall
Tonight I would be thankful lord for any dream at all
I went home with a waitress
the way I always do
