Too old, too old I'm too old to cut the mustard anymore
When I was young I had a lot of pep I could get around and I didn't need no help But since I'm old and a-gettin gray The people all look at me and say:
Too old, too old She's too old to cut the mustard any more.
(recorded by many country artists, but the oddest version is as a duet sung by Rosemary Clooney & Marlene Dietrich!!)
Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings, thought I oughta tear the curtain down. I held the blade in trembling hands, prepared to make it but just then the phone rang. I never had the nerve to make the final cut.

Stepped on a pop top

Keep bleeding I keep keep bleeding love

The first cut is the deepest...

When you see me in your mailbox
Cut the strings and let me out
Wipe the glue right off of my fingers
Stick some bubble gum in my mouth
-children's fingerplay song
When a mountain of a man with a Born To Kill tattoo
Tried to cut in I knocked out his front tooth

Almost cut my hair
Happened just the other day

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby
edgy and dull
and cut a six inch valley through the middle of my soul
I'm on Fire

With a two-edgéd sword cut off her head
And kicked it against the wall
(It's one of those traditional-ballad bits... it's in Mathey Grove sometimes, and in Fair Ellender sometimes and probably others.)

Pink Floyd
cause I'd rather get a hundred thousand paper cuts on my face
Than spend one more minute with you

I LOVE that song by Weird Al! I have sung it in concert and it is always a big audience favorite. He is a very underrated composer, I think.

And in her bosom these words he found...

And he sold them all for tea

She tied you to a kitchen chair she broke your thrown and she cut your hair.

Thou hadst better been starved by thy nurse
Than live to be hangéd for cutting a purse
Ben Jonson
