Lift up your wedding dress someone was probably murdered in

Denver Haircut
He shaved his head at the airport
In a bar at the end of the concourse
He said you’re kind of catching me at a transitional time
…
Wherever he goes he always orders the usual
He likes to see what they’ll bring him

Batphone
I’ve recognized the glow of your low beams numerous times
Through fairly opaque blinds in the sitting room
Vehicles will pass by but I know when it’s you
…
Killer pink flamingos
Computer controlled
Panoramic windows looking out across your soul
— Arctic Monkeys, “Batphone”
Never Break Your Heart
And I had a dream that I
Treated you right that I
Knew right from the start to
Never break your heart but now

Rain Falls Through the Street Lights
Sometimes I wake at night
And watch the rain fall through the street lights

Kids From School
I’m halfway home, at the pub on the corner of the street
I see kids from school, but I stare down at my feet
Sports on TV
They scream for victory
— Guster, “Overexcited”
Give Thanks to the Navigator
It never hurts to give thanks to the navigator
Even when he’s spitting out random numbers
— The Mountain Goats, “Younger”
