The Bible, I wish I'd written that. Seriously, no. It's books, not
lyrics, that leave me wishing and wanting to have written them.
Too many to list here but most recently entire passages of
Tobias Wolff's novel "Old School."
 I still believe in the excellent joy of the Catholics |

oh no I dig that, there's a book with a brief passage in that I love, I'm sure I posted it before hold on....
Everyone's alone in their world, because everybody's life is different. You can send people letters, and show them photos, but they can never come to visit where you live.
Unless you love them. And then they can burn it down.

Forget my previous post. I could easily singlehandedly make this thread
12 pages long just with Morrissey lyrics that I wish I'd written.

I wish I'd written a trashy multi million selling diet book so that I could be living off the fat proceeds.
Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes. |

That's one of the only Nirvana songs that I thoroughly enjoy. The melody is perfect.

Dylan - Shelter From The Storm.
'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."
And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word
In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm.
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."
Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved.
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."
Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair.
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."
Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost
I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed.
Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn.
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."
Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn.
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."
I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love.
Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn?
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."
In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation an' they gave me a lethal dose.
I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn.
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born.
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Had I the heaven's embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
WB Yeats - 'He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven'
As serious as your life |

I wish I'd written some posts that were actually funny.
I was all out of luck, like a duck that died. I was all out of juice, like a moose denied. |

Mike, if you'd written the Beatles' songs, would you have sold them to Michael Jackson?

Hell no. Though I do wish I'd written his early stuff too, then I'd be even more rich and could help even more unfortunate people.
