They fuckin' rock.
Anyway, what are my favorite songs? "I Can Tell Your Love Is Waning," a charming ballad of regret, clinical depression, and murder. With a steak knife:
"I can tell your love is waning
By the look and the smell of it,
Like getting caught behind a cattle truck,
And all you smell is shit."
Amy likes "Sixteen Days."
I like "Find The Out" and "Live On In The Dark" from <i>Slippage</i>. "Josephine" is a terrific song. "Lumberlung":
"I dreamed I took a road trip, just me and her,
Through the Southern and the Midwest states.
Turned north just south of Arkansas,
Headed up towards those vast great lakes.
And I thought I'd sleep through Texas,
But I woke up in Illinois.
And the car next to me, was driven by a little boy.
And he smiled at me, and drove straight off the road,
Smacked an overpass, and I watched his car explode."
Those are on <i>Everything You Thought Was Right Is Wrong Again</i>, I think.
Oh, also, "Shoot You Dead":
"Yeah you know I'm getting married,
You heard it throught the air,
You know you're not invited,
But I know that you don't care.
You'll be there with guns
And goofy ribbons in your hair.
So I made me a big ol' sign:
'Crazy jilted hag, beware!'"
