That’s it…just the one point.

Just the point that everyone here is insane and crazy…crazy and insane.

My two points are that everyone here is insane and crazy…and nuts…

My _three_ points are that everyone here is insane, crazy, and nuts…and some-what out of their mind…

My _four_…no… _Amongst_ my points… Amongst my points …are such alements as being insane, crazy… I’ll come in again.

I did just remember one from the same album, though:

…evening in the spring.  
Heard a long gone song  
From days gone by  
Blown in on the great North wind  
Though there is no lonesome corncrake’s cry  
Of sorrow and delight  
You can hear the cars  
And the shouts from bars  
And the laughter and the fights

… bright day in the middle of the night  
Two dead boys got up to fight  
Back to back they faced eachother  
Drew their swords and shot eachother  
A deaf policeman heard the noise  
And came to arrest the two dead boys  
If you don’t believe my story is true  
Ask the blind man, he saw it too.
