Personal top 10, in no particular order (and yes I know Scarlet/Fire and Help/Slip/Franklin's are technically multiple songs, but they were performed together live, so....):

Althea
Black Peter
Brown Eyed Women
Scarlet Begonias/Fire on the Mountain
Help on the Way/Slipknot/Franklin's Tower
Wharf Rat
Brokedown Palace
Jack Straw
Terrapin Station
Ripple

edit - I mean personal top 10 lyrics...
