Good morning Damian,

And welcome to the Sphere! You quote a lot of great stuff. Morrissey's reservoirs remind me of "Dirty Old Town", as sung by The Pogues:

I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town


CCR have some great down-home lyrics. From that same song:

Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, oh,
With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers


Nothing quite like John Fogerty's voice. And I guess my favorite Joe Jackson song opens:

What the hell is wrong with you tonight?
I can seem to say or do the right thing.


Cheers,
John
