    Many songs by The Hold Steady have great lyrics and their first lines are no exceptions.

    She drove it like she stole it, she stole it fast, with a multitude of casualties.

    There are nights when I think Sal Paradise was right, boys and girls in America have such a sad time together.

    If they ask about Charlemagne, be polite and say something vague, like another lover lost to the restaurant raids.

    She said always remember never to trust me, she said that the first night that she met me. She said there’s gonna come a time when I’m gonna have to go, with whoever’s gonna get me the highest.

    When the routine bites hard And ambitions are low

    Got to be one of the absolute best.

    “Bass! How low can you go?”

    “Lonely is the room, the bed is made – the only window lets the rain in.”

    “Billy Ray was a preachers son, when his daddy visit – he’d come along.”

    “Autumn leaves are falling all around, time I was on my way…”

    I met a young man, on the skeleton coast,
    He was out on his feet, pale as a ghost

    On a hillside desolate
    Will nature make a man of me yet?

    Running slow like cold engines do,
    On the hills of bleak mornings through
    The streets are ready to explode
    But I won’t die today

    Pondering things like ‘have Metallica really been to Hastings, Brighton and Eastbourne?’ It’s a cover version 🙂

    If I had my way
    I would move to another lifetime
    I’d quit my job
    Ride the train through the misty nighttime
    I’ll be ready when my feet touch ground
    Wherever I come down
    And if the folks will have me
    Then they’ll have me

    KICK IT!

    I like big butts, and I can not lie.

    Finished with my woman ’cause she couldn’t help me with my mind.

    Buddy you’re a boy make a big noise
    Playin’ in the street gonna be a big man some day
    You got mud on yo’ face
    You big Disgrace
    Kickin’ your can all over the place….

    You have so many relationships in this life
    Only one or two will last
    You go through all the pain and strife
    Then you turn your back and they’re gone so fast

    😈

    Spent all day trying to decide about the things you said last night.
    Did they mean nothing, or were they filled with hidden clues?

    Packing your bags like people in the movies do,
    All severe, and not saying a word,
    And I’m sitting down here just watching you,
    And I’m thinking:
    Where has all the love gone?
    Where’s the love gone to?
    Don’t leave
