how does the other one go?
lol at going out for some brie and leaving your wife btw. i believe he went out for "a ride" and never came back like a river that don't know where it's going. which obviously makes it alright.

This is partially because I looked at the thread title and went, "Hmm, a dead heat."

And please forgive my snappish response. Though not drunk, I was on a couple hours sleep in as many days. I'd hug you, but I have cooties.

I thought this would be a Pinefox thread! -- Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 23 March 2006
I thought JtN would have said that. I'm glad he did. I am almost surprised I didn't start this thread myself, except that I don't think there's any contest - it's average Boss vs utterly outstanding Merritt; '100,000 Fireflies' by 100 miles.

So when Bruce sings "Baltimore, Jack" he's talking to someone named Jack? "Baltimore Jack" isn't a section of the town?

I think they serve Baltimore Jack on bacon cheeseburgers in New Jersey.

absolutely true. but tonight this lyric "makes me want to kill myself."

(that's another lyric from the song. i'm fine. but like... desperation.... heartache.... approached through the thinnest possible veneer of irony, a way of maintaining dignity... anyone who thinks stephin merritt isn't a good songwriter is wrong)
