Bob Dylan. Piss poor singer, genius writer. "Strange how people who suffer together have stronger connections than people who are most content."

Neil Young. Broken voice, fits the songs though. "You are like a hurricane. There's calm in your eye."

Billy Bragg. Absolutely deserves the moniker Bard of Barking. "How can you lie back and think of England when you don't even know who's in the team?"

Chris Difford.Painted slices of an almost invisible society in bright, jaunty language. "In and out of Wandsworth with the numbers on their name"

Fish. Came up with some convoluted nonsense, but occasionally the image worked.  "On the outskirts of nowhere, on the ringroad to somewhere, on the verge of indecision, I'll always take the roundabout way."

Randy Newman

Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
To love
They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That got beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
'Round here

Tom Waits

A cab combs the snake,
Tryin' to rake in that last night's fare,
And a solitary sailor
Who spends the facts of his life like small change on strangers
Paws his inside P-coat pocket for a welcome twenty-five cents,
And the last bent butt from a package of Kents,
As he dreams of a waitress with Maxwell House eyes
And marmalade thighs with scrambled yellow hair
