Tom Petty

"Yeah, the world would swing if I were king. Can I help it if I still dream time to time?"

"I dont believe in censorship, but I do believe that an artist has to take some moral responsibility for what he or she is putting out there. And I think a lot of these young kids are going to have to learn the hard way before they realize that you can actually do some damage if youre being careless or frivolous in what youre saying."

"I remember feeling this way, You can lose it without knowing. You wake up and you dont notice Which way the wind is blowing"

"I think televisions become a downright dangerous thing. It has no moral barometer whatsoever. If you want to talk about something that is all about money, just watch the television. Its damn dangerous. TV does not care about you or what happens to you. Its downright bad for your health now, and thats not a far-out concept. I think watching the TV news is bad for you. It is bad for your physical health and your mental health. The music business looks like, you know, innocent schoolboys compared to the TV business. They care about nothing but profit."

"You and I will meet again When were least expecting it. One day in some far off place I will recognize your face. I wont say good-bye my friend, For you and I will meet again."

"I was born a rebel Down in Dixie on a Sunday morning. Yeah, with one foot in the grave, And one foot on the pedal. I was born a rebel."

"There is no sense in pretending, Your eyes give you away. Something inside you is feeling like I do, Weve said all there is to say."

"But let me get to the point, lets roll another joint, And turn the radio loud, Im too alone to be proud. You dont know how it feels, You dont know how it feels, to be me."

"I know so well the look on your face And theres somethin lucky about this place Theres somethin good comin Just over the hill Somethin good comin I know it will And Im in for the long run Wherever it goes Ridin the river Wherever it goes."

"Oh my love if I reveal Every secret Ive concealed, How many thoughts would you steal, How much of my pain would you feel?"

"They say be careful who you believe, Be careful who you trust. Did you smile when you pulled the trigger That dropped me in the dust?"

"Im watching the water Watching the coast Suddenly I know What I want the most And I want to tell you Still I hold back I need some time Get my life on track. I know that look on your face But theres somethin lucky about this place And theres somethin good comin For you and me Somethin good comin There has to be."
