Starry, starry night Paint your palette blue and gray Look out on a summer's day With eyes that know the darkness in my soul Shadows on the hills Sketch the trees and the daffodils Catch the breeze and the winter chills In colors on the snowy linen land Now I understand What you tried to say to me How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free They would not listen they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now Starry, starry night Flaming flowers that brightly blaze Swirling clouds in violet haze Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue Colors changing hue Morning fields of amber grain Weathered faces lined in pain Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand Now I understand What you tried to say to me How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free They would not listen they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now 这段歌词也是尾韵与头韵在英文歌词中相结合运用的典型例子。但是这两种压韵在本歌中运用的都不是很工整，有这一定的随意性。但是却给人一种散而不乱的感觉。第一段二三句的gray和day的尾韵压的是[e�0�1]韵，五六七句中的hills、daffodils和chills压是是[ls]的 It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes, You're paralyzed 'Cause this is thriller, thriller night And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike You know it's thriller, thriller night You're fighting for your life inside a killer,thriller tonight You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination But all the while you hear the creature creepin' up behind You're out of time 分析：这段歌词有好几处压头韵的地方。Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart这句中see、sight、stops压的是[s]韵，You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it这句中terror和takes压的是[t]韵，But all the while you hear the creature creepin' up behind这句中creature和 creepin'压的是[cr]韵。这首歌从歌名就可以看出是一首很恐怖的歌曲，歌中也确实渲染了一种很恐怖的氛围，歌中不断迫近的头韵，渲染那令人窒息的恐怖气氛，以及主人公的颤栗之感。夜色蒙蒙，亦真亦幻的恐怖在歌中层层递进的头韵使颤栗之感直击人心，无法躲藏。 Debbie just hit the wall She never had it all One Prozac a day Husbands a CPA Her dreams went out the door When she turned twenty four Only been with one man What happen to her plan? 分析： 这段歌词押的尾韵也是很明显的 。这段是两段两段的押尾韵的。 一二行wall,all压 [ �0�0：l ] 韵，三四day ,CPA行压 [e�0�1]韵，五六door,four行压[ �0�0：]韵，而最后两句man,plan则是压[�0�3n]韵的。这段工整的押韵再配上歌者很有磁性的嗓音，使得这段变得很有力度，给人以很强的震撼力，让听者难忘。而且这段是这首歌的开头，开头就点出了主人公被生活磨得曾经的理想都不知道那里去了，让我们认识到了不管时光怎样流逝，都要坚守自己的理想。
