Lie/Lay - Songs That Get it Right

In yesterday's post I lamented the grammatical confusion caused by Bob Dylan's Lay Lady Lay (Eric Clapton's Lay Down Sally is another culprit). Don't despair however, you can still use pop music to improve your English and here are five songs that use lie and lay correctly in their titles and/or lyrics.

1. Keren Ann Lay Your Head Down
2. Hello Sailor Lying In The Sand
3. Mazzy Star Lay Myself Down
4. Paul Young Wherever I Lay My Hat
5. Moby Lie Down In Darkness
