„When Ruthie says come see her
In her honky-tonk lagoon
Where I can watch her waltz for free
‚Neath her Panamanian moon
And I say, „Aw come on now
You know you know about my debutante“
And she says, „Your debutante just knows what you need
But I know what you want“
Oh, Mama…“
Bob Dylan – „Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again“
„She sits on the porch of her daddy’s house
And all her pretty dreams are torn
She stares of alone into the night
With the eyes of one who hates for just being born“
Bruce Springsteen – „Racing In The Street“
„Silly rule golden words make practice, practice makes perfect,
Perfect is a fault, and fault lines change“
R.E.M. – „I Believe“
