I went home with the waitress, the way I often do.
Well how was I to know she was with the Russians too
I was gambling in Havana, I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns and money, to get me out of this.

He took little Suzie to the Junior Prom
Excitable boy, they all said
And he raped her and killed her, then he took her home
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, heās just an excitable boy
After ten long years they let him out of the home
Excitable boy, they all said
And he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, heās just an excitable boy

Sounds like Nick Cave-style lyrics.
Warren Zevon even
Just to keep the Warren Zevon vibe going
Well I went to the doctor
I said Iām feeling kind of rough
āLet me break to you son
Your shits fcuked upā
I said My shits fcuked up?
Well I donāt see how.
He said the shit that used to work
It wonāt work now
I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vicās
His hair was perfect
Werewolves of London again
Something thatās been to my mind of late, great opening lyrics to songs? Love this one
Please allow me to introduce myself
Iām a man of wealth and taste.
Iāve been around for a long long year
Stole many a mans soul to waste
āYouāre dressed to kill and guess whoās dyingā
Youāve loved me as a loser. Now youāre worried that I just might win.
It hasnāt all been easy,
But sure thatās the way it goes,
Weāve been shaken, rocked and rattled,
Taken jabs and body blows,
Thereās a strength in being together,
Like a steel bar that wonāt bend,
Nevermind the strangers
Best line ā¦
When you have played against a galeforce wind,
and it changes at halftime
Now to conclude and finish my story.
If thereās a young one, looking for a man,
Take the bus from Bearna, down to Lisdoonvarna
Now the boys look so bashful when they go out courtinā
They seem to look so very shy
As to kiss a young maid, sure they seem half afraid
But they would if they could on the sly
My today
Fell in from the top
My mama donāt like you and she likes everyone
And I never like to admit that I was wrong
And Iāve been so caught up in my job, didnāt see whatās going on
But now I know, Iām better sleeping on my own
Youāve loved me as a loser. Now youāre worried that I just might win
Leonard Cohen - First we take Manhatten
Genius
My back is numb
My hands are freezing
Four who shared this room and we were caught up in the crack
Sleeping late on Sundays and we never got to Mass
Itās a long way from Clare to here
Itās a long way from Clare to here
Itās a long, long way
It getās further by the day
Itās a long, long way from Clare to here
When Friday comes around weāre only into fighting
My Ma would like a letter home but Iām too tired for writing
Itās a long way from Clare to here
Itās a long way from Clare to here
Itās a long, long way
It getās further by the day
Itās a long, long way from Clare to here
It almost breaks my heart when I think of my family
I told them Iād be coming home with my pockets full of green
Itās a long way from Clare to here
Itās a long way from Clare to here
Itās a long, long way
It getās further by the day
Itās a long, long way from Clare to here
The only time I feel alright is when Iām into drinking
It can sort of ease the pain of it and it levels out my thinking
Itās a long way from Clare to here
Itās a long way from Clare to here
Itās a long, long way
It getās further by the day
Itās a long, long way from Clare to here
I sometimes hear the fiddles play, maybe itās just a notion
I dream I see white horses dance upon that other ocean
Itās a long way from Clare to here
Itās a long way from Clare to here
Itās a long, long way
It getās further by the day
Itās a long, long way from Clare to here
I know youāll think itās twee, but for a lad like myself who it feels sometimes like heās spent his whole life emigrating, I find it as powerful a set of lyrics as there are.
Lovely tune, another one Iād be liable to blast out if the mood took me.
You used to get it in your fishnets
Now you only get it in your night dress
