[QUOTE="Doc Manhattan, post: 62499, member: 341"] Hands-down, my favorite living songwriter is one Declan MacManus, a/k/a Mr. Diana Krall, a/k/a Elvis Costello. My favorite verse from one of my favorites of his: [i]The sugarcoated pill is getting bitterer still You think your country needs you, but you know it never will So pack up your troubles in a stolen handbag Don't dilly-dally, boys, rally 'round the flag Give us our daily bread in individual slices And something in the daily rag to cancel any crisis What would you say? What would you do? Children and animals, two by two Give me the needle, give me the rope We're going to melt them down for pills and soap[/i] -"Pills and Soap" (from [i]Punch the Clock[/i]) I could fill up a lot screens with other choice lyrics. At the risk of hubris: EC is one of the top five of the 20th century. As prolific as Porter and as dangerous as Dylan. [/QUOTE]
