He's got a million zingers!I also like:
"She said that she was working for the ABC News
It was as much of the alphabet that she knew how to use.
Her perfume was unspeakable, it lingered in the air
like her artificial laughter and momentos of dispair"
From 'Brilliant Mistake'.And I like this line from Chris Difford in Squeeze:
"He has a crease in his jeans
A frown on his face
The scent of a man
Who thinks he has taste."
From 'Cupid's Toy' on the Squeeze album Play.And Ben Folds:
"So you wanted to take a break
Slow it down some, have some space.
FUCK YOU TOO!
Give me my money back
Give me my money back you bitch"
from 'Song for the Dumped'.And from Tom Waits:
"If I exorcise my demons
Then my angels might leave too.
You know they're so hard to find"
from "Call Me Baby" on the Hearts of Saturday Night LP.That's all I can think of right now.
