H.Stone Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 One of my favorite things about Wilco is the way Jeff can turn a phrase. So what are some of your favorite lyrical moments from Wilco? I'll start with my favorite (so far/right now) from SBS (as evidence by my username): I'm this appleThis happening stoneWhen I'm alone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
