PopTodd Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I think it's "Fingernails and cigarettes a lousy dinner" but your version is good too.You're probably right.And thanks. I was also searching for a line from "Left Of the Dial", because I know it has many. But I just brainfarted and couldn't think of any. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

myboyblue Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I'm not sure I could possibly come up with my favorite Westerberg line. His weakest lyrics are on par with most bands best.

epm Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 "I forgot my one line so I just said what I felt..."

Get up from a dreamand I look for rainTake an amphetamineand a crushed rat's brainHow am I feelinBetter I supposeHow am I lookinI don't want the truthWhat am I doinI ain't in my youthI'm past my primeOr was that just a poseIt a wonderful lieand I still get by on those Well she's kind of like an artistSittin' on the floorNever finishes, she abandonsNever shows a soul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
