Only two to three per cent of an audience is interested in words and pays attention to lyrics; most of the rest of it is about image or the beat or the sound, or else it's a tribal thing - country & western, rap, heavy metal, with historical folk rock off in some kind of cult.
Al Stewart

Rock, Words, Country

Jeffrey Tambor

Life, Regret, Friends

Edith Hamilton

Truth, Mind, Together

George Combe

Mind, Long, Brain

George Combe

End, Attention, Second

Thomas Babington Macaulay

Saying, May, Opinions

Roger McGuinn

Life, Whatever, Days
