[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
Every other line in this song could be the best line any other band has ever written:
“In 1984 I was hospitalized for approaching perfection, slowly screwing my way across Europe, they had to make a correction…”
“I asked the painter why the roads are colored black./ He said, “Steve, it’s because people leave and no highway will bring them back…”
“So if you don’t want me I promise not to linger/ But before I go I gotta ask you dear about that tan line on your ring finger…”
“I know that a lot of what I say has been lifted off of men’s room walls…”
The rest of the album is just as good. Absolute classic.
