Jim Adams’ Sunday Lyrics challenge was to write about a song which contains lyrics including – Bottom/End/Middle/Side/Top. The Doors’ 1967 song The End does just that. It was originally recorded without over dubbing. A remix of the song featured in Francis Ford Coppola’s film Apocalypse Now.
Lyrics (Abridged)
[Intro]
[Chorus]
This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
[Verse 1]
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I’ll never look into your eyes again
[Verse 2]
Can you picture what will be?
So limitless and free
Desperately in need
Of some stranger’s hand
In a desperate land
[Verse 3]
Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah
Padre
Padre's Ramblings 
I love the smell of napalm in the morning, thanks for sharing this song today Padre.

This is a devastatingly sad song when linked to that movie.
