^ Which is itself a direct rip-off of / homage to, depending on how you view these things, Tulips by Sylvia Plath.
Also someone mentioned Pete Doherty stealing a couple of lines from a poet. What are the lines in question out of interest, and which poem? He nicked an entire verse of Deep Pile Dreams by Ian Brown on French Dog Blues and got away with it. Also on his new album, there's a song called Someone Else To Be that is essentially Sweet Jane by the Velvet Underground with an entire verse stolen from Don't Look Back In Anger by Oasis.
Where do we draw the line between plagiarism or paying homage to an idol or referencing something you appreciate and respect?
