The old lovers say, "I thought it'd be me that helped him get home." But home was a dream, one I'd never seen, 'til you came along.

Been on a John Prine tear lately.

All of Souvenirs.

"I hate graveyards and old pawn shops.
Oh they always bring me tears.
I can't forgive they way they rob me
Of my childhood souvenirs. "

And same song


"Broken hearts and dirty Windows make life difficult to see.
That's why last night and this morning always look the
same to me."

Not necessarily great lyrics but extremely relevant:

"Look in my eyes, what do you see?
I know your anger, I know your dreams
I've been everything you want to be
Like Mussolini and Kennedy
Neon lights, Nobel Prize
When a mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You won't have to follow me
Only you can set me free
I sell the things you need to be
I'm the smiling face on your TV
I exploit you, still you love me
I tell you one and one makes three
Like Joseph Stalin and Gandhi
You gave me fortune
You gave me fame
You gave me power in your God's name
I'm every person you need to be
I'm the cult of personality"

There's one thing that's real clear to me: No one dies with dignity
We just try to ignore the elephant somehow



"Elephant" - Jason Isbell

That line gets me every time. That dude has a way with words...

And as we all play parts of tomorrow,
Some ways will work and other ways we'll play.
But I know we all can't stay here forever,
So I want to write my words on the face of today.
And then they'll paint it

and all the sinners saints,
As heads is tails just call me Lucifer,
Cause I'm in need of some restraint"

I survived against the will of my twisted folk
But in the deafness of my world the silence broke
And said
Follow me down to the valley below
You know
Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul

Since I'm an award winning poster, I'm going to use 3 lines from same song.

quote:

Cerebral rape and pillage in a village of his choice. Invisible man who can sing in a visible voice.


quote:

I never travel far, without a little Big Star


quote:

If he died in Memphis, then that'd be cool, babe.

Best WSP lyric.

What a place to hang out is a sandbox. Bury things you don’t want Dig up things you do want And the sun is on your face

Im in love with a girl that I met in a bar.

"Bastard from the start, but a charming one at that"

"but romeo is bleeding as he gives the man his ticket
and he climbs to the balcony at the movies
and he'll die without a wimper
like every heros dream
just an angel with a bullet
and cagney on the screen"

"Now you wear your skin like iron and your breath's as hard as kerosene"

Almost every line of prose written by Ben nichols, tom waits, or townes van Zandt

I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick
On the cigarettes there in the ashtray
Lyin' cold the way you left them
But at least your lips caressed them while you packed
And a lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee that you poured and didn't drink
But at least you thought you wanted it, that's so much more than I can say for me

Would you lay with me in a field of stone
If my needs were strong would you lay with me
Should my lips grow dry would you wet them dear
In the midnight hour if my lips were dry
Would you go away to another land
Walk a thousand miles through the burning sand
Wipe the blood away from my dying hand if I give myself to you


Or

I woke up this morning tasting Jim Beam, holding the answer to some old boy's dream
I've got a bad reputation cause I'm a live wire, I like my whiskey on ice and my women on fire.
