I agree Sting has some very good lyrics.
One that sticks out in my mind is Bowie's Rebel Rebel;
The original song said You want more and you want it fast
However when live he often substituted You want more than you're wanted for
The latter fits the song better and rhymes.
Another Sting line -
There were rooms of forgiveness
In the house that we share
But the space has been emptied
Of whatever was there
There were cupboards of patience
There were shelfloads of care
But whoever came calling
Found nobody there
-Consider Me Gone Good stuff.

God said to Abraham,
"kill me a son";
Abe say, "man, you must be puttin' me on!"
God said, "No!" -
Abe say, "What?" -
God say, "You can do what you want Abe but;
The next time you see me comin'-
You better run..."
Abe say, "Where you want this killin' done?"
God say, "Do it on Highway Sixty-One."
There are times when Mr. Zimmerman raises the eyebrow...

And the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls - and tenement halls. Listen...

And the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls - and tenement halls. Listen... That reminded me of Rush's similar version of the same lyrics in "Spirit of Radio" from late 70's I think. For the words of the prophets were written on the studio wall, Concert hall
And echoes with the sounds of salesmen

these are some that I always seem to catch myself singing
amazing grace how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I am found
was blind but now I see
Mercy said no
I'm not gonna let you go
I'm not gonna let you slip away
You don't have to be afraid
Mercy said no
sin will never take control
Life and death stood face to face
Darkness tried to steal my heart away
Thank You Jesus, Mercy said no
You saw me crying in the chapel
the tears I shed were tears of joy
I know the meaning of contentment
now I'm happy with the Lord
Some secular lyrics and lines that seem to have made an imprint are
Been through the desert on a horse with no name
Workin' for the man
wasted days and wasted nights
Before the next teardrop falls
Ain't nothing wrong with the radio
trailers for sale or rent,
rooms to let fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets,
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but two hours of pushin' broom
buys an eight by twelve four bit room
I'm a man of means by no means,
king of the road
Dust in the Wind
all we are is dust in the wind
We are the champions my friend
and we'll keep on fighting til the end
My TunesPsalm 57:7 My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.

More favorites from Don Henley:
"You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave "
"Now it seems to me Some fine things have been laid upon your table... but you only want the ones that you can't get"
"City girls seem to find out early, how to open doors with just a smile"
"Loneliness will blind you in between the dark and the light"

How about:
Now it all comes down to money, now I'm glad that I have quit
Folks these days just don't do nothin' simply for the love of it
or
You can arm yourself, alarm yourself, but there's nowhere you can run
Cause a man with a briefcase can steal more money than any man with a gun
or
Cause the flesh will get weak, and the ashes will scatter
So, I'm thinkin' about forgiveness, forgiveness
or
You see a lot more meanness in the city, it's the kind that eats you up inside
Hard to get away with anything that feels like dignity, hard to get home with any pride
or
I thought of all the bad luck, and the struggles we went through
and how I lost me and you lost you
or
We got the bubble headed bleach blonde who comes on at five
She can tell you 'bout the plane crash with a gleam in her eye
It's interesting when people die, give us dirty laundry
Don's got a million of them. One of the best writers ever!

another of my all-time favorites in terms of clever lyrics:
"You've got a smile so bright,
you know you could have been a candle.
I'm holding you so tight,
you know you could have been a handle.
The way you swept me off my feet,
you know you could have been a broom.
The way you smelled so sweet,
you know you could have been some perfume.
Well, you could have been anything that you wanted to,
and I can tell the way you do the things you do.
As pretty as you are,
you know you could have been a flower.
If good looks was a minute,
you know that you could be an hour.
The way you stole my heart,
you know you could have been a cool crook.
And, baby, you're so smart,
you know you could have been a schoolbook.
Well, you could have been anything that you wanted to,
and I can tell the way you do the things you do.
*Eddie: Ah, baby, yeah
*Other Tempts:(The way you do the things you do)
(The way you do the things you do)

Time is short and here's the damn thing about it
You're gonna die, gonna die for sure
And you can learn to live with love or without it
But there ain't no cure
She's got the wind as a witness
She's got feelings that fly by night
She believes in forgiveness
It's not love if it holds too tight
John Hiatt (amazing writer)

Why we used to laugh together
And we'd dance to any old song.
Well, ya know, she still laughs with me
But she waits just a second too long.
- John Prine, "Far From Me"
Well, I started the engine
and I gave it some gas
Cathy was closing her purse
Well, we hadn't gone far in my beat old car
And I was prepared for the worst.
"Will you still see me tomorrow?"
"No, I got too much to do."
Well, a question ain't really a question
If you know the answer too.
- John Prine, "Far From Me"

jimmy buffett love in the library
On the corner of Government and Bay Avenue
The old doomsday fanatic wore a crown of kudzu
Sirens where wailing in the gulf coastal heat
And it seemed like the whole world was in forced retreat
I paid no attention, revolved through the door
Passed the newspaper rack on the worn marble floor
Near civil war history my heart skipped a beat
She was standing in fiction stretched high on bare feet
Love in the library, quiet and cool
Love in the library, there are no rules
Surrounded by stories surreal and sublime
I fell in love in the library once upon a time
I was the pirate and she was the queen
Sir Francis and Elizabeth the best there's ever been
Then she strolled past my table and stopped at the stairs
Then sent me a smile as she reached for Flaubert
Love in the library, quiet and cool
Love in the library, there are no rules
Surrounded by stories surreal and sublime
I fell in love in the library once upon a time
She gathered her books, walked while she read
Words never spoken but so much was said
You can read all you want into this rendezvous
But it's safer than most things that lovers can do
Well stories have endings and fantasies fade
And the guard by the door starts drawing the shade
So write your own ending and hope it come true
For the lovers and strangers on Bay Avenue
Love in the library, quiet and cool
Love in the library, there are no rules
Surrounded by stories surreal and sublime
I fell in love in the library once upon a time
Surrounded by stories surreal and sublime
I fell in love in the library once upon a time

You've got a lotta nerve, to say you are my friend... "Positively 4th Street" is my favorite Bob Dylan recording and is one of my favorite all-time recordings. (Dylan (tied with Oscar Hammerstein II) is my favorite lyricist).

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
