I'm running on empty, in the land down under, Where women glow and men chunder, sorely in need of a vegemite sandwich. But then I see the girl with colitis go by and I know that morning has broken and that they have killed the Earl of Ormond and Lady Mondegreen.
When the rain has hung the leaves with tears I want you near, to kill my fears And to help leave all my blues behind. For standing in your heart, Is where I want to be, and long to be, Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.
Ha!

When the rain has hung the leaves with tears
I want you near, to kill my fears
And to help leave all my blues behind.
For standing in your heart,
Is where I want to be, and long to be,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.
Donovan, Catch the Wind
One of my very favorites...

Nice idea for a list. I see some very familiar phrases here as well as some bizarre and unfamiliar ones!
