"Roxanne" is less dark, but there are relatively few rock songs about prostitutes. I always loved the phrasing of: He starts to shake and cough Just like the old man in That book by Nabokov There's butterfly trapped in a spider's web, There's a blue whale beached by a spring tide's ebb... Yeah, some of it was a bit dark; more songs should be like that, it's not a nice world. If you want really dark, I mean serial killer dark, try Peter Gabriel. Shut your mouth Just drive the car Don't say nothing I know what you are Don't turn around Keep your hands on the wheel Don't look back This is for real... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
