There are some excellent examples of lyrical couplets around in many songs ....the aim of this thread is to share some on the forum

Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )

Gordon Lightfoot's excellent couplet from Sundown:
"She's been looking like a queen in a sailor's dream
And she don't always say what she really means"
The song is full of excellent examples

Is a lyrical couplet a midget singing duo? No? Then how about "May the skin of your bum/Never cover a drum" But seriously folks: "We're all in the mood for a melody/ And you've got us feeling alright" << Isn't that the job of pop music, especially live in a smaller venue? "Piano Man" Billy Joel, who spun out tons of them, though few of them rhyming.
