Great post. Here's a few images from songs that spring to mind for me (I could pick dozens for Dylan and Zevon, but will limit to just one each here):
I wandered out in the world for years
While you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
- The Waterboys (Mike Scott), The Whole of the Moon
I can saw a woman in two
But you won't want to look in the box when I'm through
- Warren Zevon, For My Next Trick I'll Need a Volunteer
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River
- Creedence Clearwater Revival (John Fogerty), Green River
You have never been in love,
Until you've seen the stars,
Reflect in the reservoirs
- Morrissey, First of the Gang to Die
He went to get the hangin’ judge, but the hangin’ judge was drunk
As the leading actor hurried by in the costume of a monk
- Dylan, Lily, Rosemary And The Jack Of Hearts
Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street
- Joe Jackon, Is She Really Going Out With Him
