I think that's it. Every morning I feel like I'm leaving for a week. Which is fitting because some days feel like a week. Such is life.

Lyrics:
"She's pulling out her shirttails and jacking up her socks. Stirn and stoned and confident and coming up to the juke box. born into the only songs that everybody finally sings along. b-1 is for the good girls. it's only the good die young. c-9 is for the making eyes. it's paradise by the dashboard light. d4 is for the lovers. b12 is for the speeders. and the hard drugs are for the bartenders and the kitchen workers and the bartender's friends. and they're playing it again. ellen foley gives us hope. certain songs they get scratched into our souls."

The Hold Steady "Certain Songs"-best storytellers in music, save perhaps the Decemberists.
