"And poor priests like to walk in chains
And God likes to forsake them"
                   Robin Williamson, "October Song"


"Baby, I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you....."
                     Leonard Cohen, "Allelujah"

"You will strand on deck and watch them throw the hawser
You will see the men who catch it on the pier.
And you feel a chill as you leave the railing
Down the gangway the town is very near...."
                      Kari Bremnes,"Song for a town"

I thought about quoting various lines from some of my own songs but, since virtually no-body knows them, that would be unfair!
