Oh, the first time that you tried a pill
You feel a little queasy, decidedly ill

Who's that hiding in the apple tree, clinging to a branch?
Don't be afraid, it's only me, hoping for a little romance!

"we were kissing in the tent,
up roared a giant sea serpent"

*waCHOO!* "'Scuse me." -- "Please Mr. Gravedigger." (Alternately, "I've started digging holes, my friend, and this one here's for YOU!")

Amazing but there is actually a football commentator (commentates on Dutch football, late at night, on Channel 5) who commentates in exactly the way Bowie used to (and sometimes still does) sing. You know how Bowie how doesn't sing "Sell me a coat", so much as "Zell me a goat"? Well this guy is exactly the same:

"Well Ajax are vinding thiz vizid to Roddadam do be a lod more zdraidforward than they egzbegted. Nod zinz the dayz of the glassig Johan Gruyff era of the zevendies have they bervormed zo well... etc"

It's quite hilarious to listen to tho after a while you wish he'd sdob id and dock normally vor a jange.

Ned, Nick Cave based his whole career on the one line from Mr Gravedigger.

The gospel according to pat hewitt
if its written on a sweater then you'd better not do it.

oh but di, you forgot the best part of that song (the gospel according to tony day) ... that comes after the first two verses ...

"gotta gotta, your mind, blow it, blow it!"

The Gospel according to Marianne Brent
She'll be mine if I pay the rent
Good old Marianne, who needs friends
