How about the line in that pathetic Rod Stewart song "Tonight's The Night", where he advises his "virgin child" to "let her inhibitions run wild"...

What an idiot...

Dylan's done a few odd reversals, like:

"He just smoked my eyelids, and punched my cigarette"

"Don't put your horse in front of your cart"

But unlike Rod, he had a purpose in saying it that way, and it worked.
