Lyric Of The Year Candidate
Picked up Randy Newman’s latest, Harps and Angels, and it’s the best work from the cranky ol’ bastard in a long time. These two verses from Piece Of The Pie cracked me up.
If you lived in Norway you’d be fine right now
Get sick there, you make the doctor wait
If you lived in Belgium you could mediate
And the French fries are great
Jesus Christ it stinks here high and low
The rich are getting richer, I should know
While we’re going up you’re going down
No one gives a shit but Jackson Browne
Whether or not it beats the scream of “Get hammered!” in Constructive Summer by The Hold Steady remains to be seen.
