“I got a girl, she lives up the hill.
She won’t do it, but her sister will.”
Oh, nice - screwing around on your woman?
“You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together”
Oh fuck so off with the checklist horseshit.
“Take my hand and pull me down,
But I’ll put up with it,
Cause I’m easy” (Kieth Carridine’s one-hit wonder)
Right - you do wimpy you, then.
“I hear the to-tal mass re-tain!”
Oh what abstruse horse-hockey are you going on about now, Jon Anderson?
“It’s a clean machine!”
Aren’t you just the quaintest sod.

“I think I hear them callin’ - oh Beth, what can I do?”
Yeah, conflicted, huh? That…push/pull, you’re despairing over?
(Yup - looks like the boys got the ol’ Parisienne convertible out tonight - later, Beth!)
“I kissed a few and once did sit
On Ivor the Engine Driver’s lap
And later with him, had a nap” (A Quick One - The Who)
more importantly, everything compares to everything. May not be favorable or meaningful but still compares. I can compare the Marianas Trench to a Buick but why would I?
And then he never does. He just hints at who he is and says “Hope you guess my name”.
Okay, he does say “Just call me Lucifer” but while you can call him that, it apparently isn’t his actual name. Because after he says it, he’s still asking “what’s my name” and “can you guess my name”.
