Here are some of my favorite song lyrics. I’m not gonna try to come up with a list off of the top of my head… I’ll just post them as they come up. Admittedly, for the most part they lack a certain poetic quality... But then, its pop music for chrissakes.

Eventually this list will probably be huge, and I may expand it to include bits of prose and/or movie quotes.

Couldn’t split up Kato and Nash

-The Buzzards, High Class

Blurry eyes half bent and I can't take you sober
Tricking off the rotting strip that we've been trudging under
We ducked into a dim lit room out where the river bends
And turned to walk the burning bridge that we would build
And crossed out hearts half hoping
That we could both quit smoking
And kick the booze and blow
And one day make something of ourselves

Super Fabulous the patterns have been updated
Wanna battle, you’ll be baffled at the stuff stated
Drowning in the shallow waters of the rough ragin’
Verbal candle with no paddle headed up state’
