    I’ve been on tenterhooks ending in dirty looks,
    list’ning to the Muzak, thinking ’bout this ‘n’ that.
    She said that’s that.I don’t wanna chitter-chat.
    Turn it down a little bit or turn it down flat.

    Pump it up Elvis Costello

    cellophane shrink-wrapped, so correct.

    They smile and they stab my back as they shake my hand
    Send out an S.O.S please

    Leaning in your corner like a candidate for wax,
    sidewalk social scientist, don’t get no satisfaction
    from your cigarette, it’s ten to ten, time is running out,
    lock up all your memories, get out of here, you know that we can run.

    In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey

    Hell yes – “Kill the headlights and put it in neutral…”

    I love the start of Public Enemy’s Louder Than A Bomb:

    This style seems wild
    Wait before you treat me like a stepchild

    Alright Chuck, I’ll wait.

    I don’t believe in an interventionist God
    But I know, darling, that you do
    But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
    Not to intervene when it came to you
    Not to touch a hair on your head
    To leave you as you are
    And if He felt He had to direct you
    Then direct you into my arms

    You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar when I met you

    or

    The Pope says to the atheist, in Gods name I do swear
    You’re searching blindly in the dark for something that ain’t there
    The atheist says to the Pope there ain’t no gettin’ ’round it
    You too were searching in the dark for nothing…but you found it

    or

    The object of my affection
    Walked off in the other direction

    Early one mornin’ while makin’ the rounds
    I took a shot of cocaine and shot my woman down
    I went right home and I went to bed
    I stuck that lovin’ forty-four beneath my head.
