So my sister is getting married and they are putting together a scrapbook where everyone puts together a page for her. I'm looking for a good lyric to add to the page i'm going to make. Anyone have some ideas? thanks so much!

Loudon Wainwright's "The Picture" is the first thing that came to mind--it's the first of the three songs in this video:

Juliana Hatfield's song has some good lyrics in it:


I hate my sister, she’s such a bitch.
She acts as if she doesn’t even know that I exist.
But I would do anything to let her know I care.
But I am only talking to myself ’cos she isn’t there.

My sister, I love my sister, she’s the best.
She’s cooler than any other girl that I have ever met.
She had the greatest band, she had the greatest guy.
She’s good at everything and doesn’t even try.

She’s got a wall around her nobody can climb.
She lets her ladder down for those who really shine.
I tried to scale it, but to me she’s blind.
So I lit a firecracker, went off in my eye.

I miss my sister, why’d she go ?
She’s the one who would have taken me
To my first all-ages show.
It was the violent femmes and the del fuegos,
Before they had a record out. before they went gold,
And started to grow.

I miss my sister. I miss my sister.
I miss my sister. I really miss her.

They say you taught me how to talk
Bet you wish you taught me how to stop
you're far away now, wish I could take a walk with you someplace

you explained me to our parents
English wasn't their first language
They spoke German, hated Germans
confusing times

Oh sister
down midwest backseat bumpy seats
you sang my beatles songs with me
I sang your Broadway melodies, bad harmony

and where would Willie Mays have been
without Jackie Robinson
and who can say what I'd been
without you to lead the way

after I showed some guys I could drink
You picked me of the lawn I think
And led me to the kitchen sink
Where I got rid of it

Some nights I lay awake in awe
As squinting through the dark I saw
You peeling off your teenage bra
The door slightly ajar

Oh sister
You lived just across the hall
For 18 summers, 18 falls
until you went away to that weird college in Wisconsin

and where would Willie Mays have been
without Jackie Robinson
and who can say what I'd been
without you to lead the way

trust yourself, and you can do anything
this I give to you

May your heart purr like a bumblebee
May all your backyards have a tree
May you always be HIV negative

I hope you meet some guy who
Treats women better than I do
I don't even care if he's a Jew or not

Oh sister
I remember in the temple hall
at out dear father's funeral you sang like a nightingale
one of his own songs

and where would Willie Mays have been
without Jackie Robinson
and who can say what I'd been
without you to lead the way
