Compile every song lyric that starts with "Said"

Hard to believe no one's mentioned yet one of rock's most misheard lyrics: The Beatles "She Sad She Sad", with its famous opening lines:

She sad "I know what it's like to be dad. I know what it is to be said."

It's a fucking travesty of justice that show ended the way it did. Made me said, it did.

Said boy, where ya comin from? Where'd ya get that point of view? When I was younger, I KNEW A MOTHAFUCKER LIKE YOOOOUUUUUUU!!

Nice. Forgot about that one!

Or "be my rubbermade, baby" instead of "be my rubber maid, baby."

It's spelled this way in the booklet.

Booklets are consistently wrong though. I used to get so pissed off about that.

Not saying I'm right (and the book is wrong) in the above instance. I guess I could be wrong. But wtf is "rubbermade," you know? "Rubber maid" is talkin about the bondage of that whole verse. But I found through the years that what's on the book isn't always what was sung or said.

"Said, 'You ain't special, so who ya' foolin'?" Bad Obsession

Patience is definitely 'said woman'. 'Said' is one of those tics often heard in rock n roll. Probably came from the Rolling Stones, then bands like NY Dolls picked it up, all the way through 80s bands like Cinderella. Personally I think it's awesome. Oh, and dont forget to add "You're Crazy" to the list.

In other news, I just gotta say, I'm watching Zeppelin at Earl's Court, and it's so effin special. Gnr had that kind of magic - it requires chemistry with the original group. Axl needs to throw away his Queen and Elton John drama shit and get back to playing folky stripped down stuff with that group of people with the great chemistry. Screw everything else, period It's the only way Gnr maintains its status among the greats.

Good job, guys.

So far, here's what I gathered:

"Said, it don't really matter." Chinese Democracy

"Said, you took everything from me." Estranged

"Said, woman, take it slow." Patience

"Said, but you been the worst." You Ain't the First

"I said, you could be mine." You Could be Mine

"I said I don't know what I did, but I know I gotta move." Shotgun Blues

"Said, boy, where ya comin from?" You're Crazy

"Said, 'You ain't special, so who ya' foolin'?" Bad Obsession

I noticed recently that Axl loves starting sentences in his songs with the word "Said."

Can we start a huge ass list?

"How could you say that I never needed you when you took everything? Said, you took everything from me." Estranged

"Said woman, take it slow ..." Patience

"Lots of others came before you, woman. Said, but you been the worst."

Is it a lazy way to add a syllable to make it fit with the music? Do other bands do this and I never noticed? Are my three examples the only ones in all of the songs?

This thread is no stranger than the one about Hogan. That is all.

hmmm, get your ears checked mate

Turn in your 10,000 posts.

He also says 'said' in at least some versions of Rosie. Check L'arc performance from last year. Maybe it's Bon's original lyric, I dont know.

Ok I just checked and the original Bon Scott lyrics are 'Wanna tell you a story/bout a woman I know/ah it come to lovin/ohh she steals the show'

Axl changes the lyrics sometimes to 'when it come to lovin/Said she steals the show' or something like that (see Rosie l'arc). So, I vote Whole Lotta Rosie is added to the list on a technicality.
