I rest my case.

 

"I said 'Hi'", she said "Yeah I guess I am"

Everyone I know goes away in the end.

 

'She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake'

Watching The Detectives, Elvis Costello

 

Walk on the Wild Side,
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head.

 

When you cease to exist, then who will you blame?
I've tried my best to love you, but I cannot play this game
Your best friend and my worst enemy is one and the same
Angelina
There's a black Mercedes rollin' through the combat zone
Your servants are half dead; you're down to the bone
Tell me, tall man, where would you like to be overthrown
Maybe down in Jerusalem or Argentina?

 

And as the microphone squeaks
A young girl's telephone beeps
Yeah she's dashing for the exit
Oh, she's running to the streets outside
"Oh you've saved me, "
She screams down the line
"The band were fucking wank
And I'm not having a nice time"

 

You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last

 

Don't it always seem to go,
that you don't know what you've got
'till it's gone...

Jonie Mitchell

 

"I couldn't take it any longer - Lord I was crazed, And when the feeling came upon me
Like a tidal wave - I started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave, That I would love you to the end of time - I swore that I would love you to the end of time!...

. . . .So now I'm praying for the end of time, To hurry up and arrive - Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you, I don't think that I can really survive - I'll never break my promise or forget my vow,- But God only knows what I can do right now - I'm praying for the end of time, It's all that I can do- Praying for the end of time, So I can end my time with you!"
"'Paradise ...." Meatloaf - with Karla de Vito

 

(Memories of a live performance at Manchester Apollo Theatre (circa 1978) ticket was about 12 pounds = well worth it!) -

 

You can spend all your time makin' love
or you can spend all your love makin' time ---The Eagles

 

"In France a skinny man, Died of a big disease with a little name
By chance his girlfriend came across a needle., and soon she did the same
At home there are seventeen-year-old boys, and their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called the disciples - High on crack, totin' a machine gun"
Sign of the Times - Prince

 

That was the day we ran into Albert Flasher.
