In-flight entertainment

It's all right, the rumble in your ears,
It's all right to feel a little fear.
~ King Crimson, “Sleepless"

They say the Point, demons guard it:
An ocean grave for all the brave.
~ Kansas, “Point of Know Return"

Well, they tell me, I'll be home someday;
Well, I doubt it, if I continue this way.
~ Jethro Tull, “Driving Song"

They headed for London,
And that will be their grave.
~ Genesis, “Eleventh Earl of Mar"

She took my favorite guitar,
She smashed it on the floor;
Well, she danced around on top of it,
I thought I might get sore.
~ Adrian Belew, “The Momur"

Why don't you come with me, baby?
I'll take you where you want to go;
And if it don't work out,
You'll be the first to know.
~ Bob Dylan, “Pledging My Time”

Don't it ever get lonesome,
Don't it ever get sad when you go out on the road.
(Ah, there was one time in Minneapolis, I got the clap.)
Don't it ever get lonesome,
Don't it ever get sad when you go out on a thirty-day tour.
You got nothing but groupies and promoters to love you,
And a pile of laundry by the hotel door.
~ Frank Zappa & The Mothers, “Road Ladies”

She worked at the Fotomat,
She wore a uniform and a lavender hat;
That's all there is to say about that.
~ The Bobs, “Drive-By Love”

Tigers don't go out on rainy nights,
They don't need to [whet] their appetites.
~ The Bonzo Dog Band, “Hunting Tigers Out in Indiah”
