Just isn't Thanksgiving without hearing...

Alice's Restaurant Massacre, Arlo Guthrie


And they all came back, shook my hand
And we had a great time on the bench
Talkin' about crime, mother stabbing, father raping
All kinds of groovy things that we was talking about
On the bench
And everything was fine
We was smoking cigarettes and all kinds of things

Pink Floyd

Dogs


And after a while you can work on points for style
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in



Sheep

Meek and obedient, you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors, into the valley of steel

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by
With bright knives He releaseth my soul
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places



Brain Damage

The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade
You make the change
You rearrange me 'til I'm sane

Bob Dylan

Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts


Rosemary started drinkin' hard and seein' her reflection in the knife
She was tired of the attention, tired of playin' the role of Big Jim's wife



A Hard Rain is Gonna Fall

I saw 10,000 talkers whose tongues were all broken
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children



It's Alright, Ma

Darkness at the break of noon
Shadows even the silver spoon
The handmade blade, the child's balloon
Eclipses both the sun and moon
To understand you know too soon
There is no sense in trying

ZZ Top, TV Dinners

TV dinners, they're goin' to my head
TV dinners, my skin is turnin' red
Twenty year old turkey in a thirty year old tin
I can't wait until tomorrow, and thaw one out again

Steve Miller Band, Take the Money and Run

This here's a story 'bout Billy Joe and Bobbie Sue
Two young lovers with nothin' better to do
Than sit around the house, get high, and watch the tube
And here's what happened when they decided to cut loose

Peter Gabriel, Solsbury Hill


So I went from day to day
Though my life was in a rut
'Til I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going "Boom-boom-boom"

Urbandale
Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby
Edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley
Through the middle of my skull
