All palindromes from wierd al jankovic 'palindrome song'
which is a parody of Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues

Yesterday I left a dune
Her name is Iledeman
I am with my cow and her calf
The calf is small and cannot walk very well
Rain has fallen and there is water everywhere
I ask my family and friends to help me return
to my house
But they just refuse
But they just refuse
I am alone in the forest
I am really frightened
There are huge monkeys and they look at me
with bad faces like lost dogs
They make me feel frightened
My Camel is sinking in the mud
I hit it with my stick
I want to go home
I want to go home with my cow and her little calf

She ran away from home on her mother's best coat
She was married before she was even entitled to vote
And her husband was one of those blokes
The sort that only laughs at his own jokes
The sort a war takes away
And when there wasn't a war he left anyway
Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong
Are here to make everything right that's wrong
Holland and Holland and Lamont Dozier too
Are here to make it all okay with you
One dark night he came home from the sea
And put a hole in her body where no hole should be
It hurt her more to see him walking out the door
And though they stitched her back together they left her heart in pieces on the floor
along with Between The Wars makes for some of Braggs finest.

The Vintage Caravan - Cocaine Sally (written about a friend of the band)
The cold winter winds blow
While Sally sells her body in the night
Her life she is ruining
She doesn't care if it isn't right
Hoping this is all a bad dream
Hoping nothing is as it seems
Doesn't have a place to call home
In this world she is all alone
Cocaine Sally
Wanders the streets alone
Cocaine Sally
Doesn't have a home
Aaaah aaah aaaah aaah
One night she had one too much
All alone in the streets
That night she had a strangers touch
So cold, cold, cold,
So damn cold
She couldn't feel her feet
She went right back to sleep
The lost soul never
Came back
Cocaine Sally
Wanders the streets alone
Cocaine Sally
Doesn't have a home
Aaaah aaah aaaah aaah

Leonard Cohen - so many wonderful song-poems, and it seems almost like vandalism to pick them apart, but these lines from The Night Comes On have been running through my head for years -
"I went down to the place where I knew she lay waiting
Under the marble and the snow
I said, Mother I'm frightened, the thunder and the lightning
I'll never come through this alone
She said, I'll be with you, my shawl wrapped around you
My hand on your head when you go"
and -
"My son and my daughter
Climbed out of the water
Crying, papa, you promised to play
And they lead me away
To the great surprise
It's papa, don't peek, papa, cover your eyes
And they hide, they hide in the world"
and finally - "here's to the few
Who forgive what you do
And the fewer who don't even care"
