there's a Robert Johnson song...but I'm not sure if it's a good example

Traveling Riverside Blues

I got womens in Vicksburg, clean on into Tennessee
I got womens in Vicksburg, clean on into Tennessee
But my Friar's Point rider, now, hops all over me
I ain't gon' to state no color, but her front teeth is crowned with gold
I ain't gon' to state no color, but her front teeth is crowned with gold
She got a mortgage on my body, now, lien on my soul
Lord, I'm goin' to Rosedale, gon' take my rider by my side
Lord, I'm goin' to Rosedale, gon' take my rider by my side
We can still barrelhouse, baby, 'cause it's on the river side
Now you can squeeze my lemon till the juice run down my...
(Spoken: till the juice run down my leg, baby, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout)
You can squeeze my lemon till the juice run down my leg
(that's what Im talkin about now)
But I'm goin' back to Friar's Point, if I be rockin' to my head

Similes abound in popular song, metaphors are harder to find.

Also, many metaphors allude to the sexual, and so are presumably not suitable for a school project.
(eg. "You been a good old wagon, daddy but you done broke down")

I can't think of any good examples right now.

Bermbits wrote this on another metaphor thread. Simon and Garfunkel

I am a rock,
I am an island.
I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

So, how's it going with the school project?

Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott

Another song, another metaphor I just thought of.

Why is that a criterion? Use a song whose lyrics they don't know. Surprise them with your researching skills.
