Okay, who knows THIS song?????

[AverageJoe]

Eddie graces buick got 4 bullet holes in the side
Charlie delisle sittin at the top of an avocado tree
Mrs stormll stab you with a steak knife if you step on her lawn i got a half pack of
lucky strikes man come along with me lets fill our pockets with macadamia nuts then
go over to bobby goodmans
Nd jump off the roof hilda plays strip poker and her mamas across the street joey
navinski says she put her tongue in his mouth dicky faulkners got a switchblade and
some gooseneck risers that e
Ptus is a hunchback theres a wind up from the south let me tie you up with kite
string and i'll show you the scabs on my knee watch out for the broken glass, put
your shoes and socks on and come
G with me lets follow that fire track
I think your house is burnin down
The go down to the hobo jungle
And kill some rattle snakes with a trowel
We'll break all the windows in the old anderson place
And steal a bunch of boysenberrys
And smear em on our face
I'll get a dollar from my mamas purse
And buy that skull and crossbones ring
And you can wear it around your neck
On an old piece of string

Then we'll spit on ronnie arnold
And flip him the bird
And slash the tires on the school bus
Now don't say a word
I'll take a rusty nail
And scratch your initials on my arm
And i'll show you how to sneak up
On the roof of the drugstore

Take the spokes from your wheelchair
And a magpies wings
And tie em to your shoulders and your feet
I'll steal a hacksaw from my dad
And cut the braces off your legs
And we'll bury them tonight in the cornfield

Put a church keey in your pocket
We'll hop that freight train in the hall
And we'll slide down the drain all the way
To new orleans in the fall

6. Yeah, me too

I like the old stuff best. Hard to pick a favorite, but here's a damn good lyric:

I HOPE THAT I DON'T FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU

Well I hope that I don't fall in love with you
'Cause falling in love just makes me blue,
Well the music plays and you display your heart for me to see,
I had a beer and now I hear you calling out for me
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

Well the room is crowded, people everywhere
And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?
Well if you sit down with this old clown, take that frown and break it,
Before the evening's gone away, I think that we could make it,
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

Well the night does funny things inside a man
These old tom-cat feelings you don't understand,
Well I turn around to look at you, you light a cigarette,
I wish I had the guts to bum one, but we've never met,
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

I can see that you are lonesome just like me,
And it being late, you'd like some some company,
Well I turn around to look at you, and you look back at me,
The guy you're with has up and split, the chair next to you's free,
And I hope that you don't fall in love with me.

Now it's closing time, the music's fading out
Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout.
Well I turn around to look at you, you're nowhere to be found,
I search the place for your lost face, guess I'll have another round
And I think that I just fell in love with you.

7. One of my favorite lines of his, is not from a song

but from an interview he did on "Fernwood Tonight" with Martin Mull

"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy."
