"Positively 4th Street" by Bob Dylan, and "Backstabber" by The Dresden Dolls

Two great songs that are apparently/might be/can be about musicians feeling backstabbed, and my favourite lines from each.

I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is
To see you


So don't tell me what to write
And don't tell me that I'm wrong
And don't tell me not to reference my songs within my songs

Interesting theme ... put me in mind of Bruce Cockburn's line from Pacing the Cage:
I never knew what you all wanted
So I gave you everything

Ya there's a lot of interesting stuff in that Cockburn song.

When Joni Mitchell made the album Blue, I think it was Kris Kristofferson who said: Joni, keep a little bit for yourself!
