Subject: RE: The Best Song Lines EVER--For Us Newbies
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow

Look on yonder, see that eagle rise.
He was born on land, but he sure enjoys the skies.

Dillan bay, laddie-o, Dillan dau, laddie-ay.

If I done listen to what my mammy said,
I'd be at home in my mammy's bed.

Grind, children, grind, for a clear and wakeful mind

If you don't love me, love whom you please.
Throw your arms round me, give my heart ease.

First flower of their wilderness, star of their night

They'll hug you and kiss you, and tell you more lies
Than the crossties in the railroad or the stars in the skies.

It's love for love that I hae got,
Love for love again,
So turn your high horse heid about,
And we will ride for hame.

Feel the trickle in you clothes,
Blow the dust cake from your nose

Oh, it's knock out your pipes and follow me,
And it's finish up your swipes and follow me,
Oh, hark to the big drum calling --
Follow me, follow me home.

For a' that, and a' that,
Their riband, star, and a' that,
The man o' independent mind,
He looks and laughs at a' that.

Please keep them safe below
Till the rain comes tumbling down.

Venit mors velociter,
Rapit nos atrociter,
Nemini parcetur.

Numquam amans sequi volo
vices temporum
bestiali more.
...
Dum salutat me loquaci
Flora supercilio,
mente satis iam capaci,
gaudio concipio,
glorior labore.

O quam felix est
antidotum soporis,
quot curarum tempestates
sedat et doloris!

Sunt in grege parvulo
Ovis et asella,
Vitula cum vitulo,
Caper et capella.
