We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank
"Who the hell made you the boss / We placed our chips in all the right spots but still lost / Any shithead who had ever walked / Could take this ship and do a much finer job / This fit like clothes made out of wasps / Oh, fuck it, I guess I lost"

The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me
"In the choir / I saw our sad Messiah / He was bored and tired of my laments / He said 'I died for you one time, but never again'"
Nice list...about half that list would probably be in my list as well. I still have to check out Brand New.
ReplyDeleteI've been too busy reading lists by all those "music bloggers" who are much cooler and hipper than myself. I might come up with my own humble, insignificant little list anyway.
I finally made my list...of 28 albums. a little more ambitious than i intended.
