PUTTING IN A GOOD WORD OR TWO

"Am I missing something?"


I listened to a Jarvis Cocker song - 'Am I Missing Something' -  on National Radio yesterday and was struck by a really good line:

“I don’t wanna dance with the devil, but d’ya mind if I tap my foot?”

It's not quite up there with Scott Walker's: I'VE SEVERED MY REEKING GONADS AND FED THEM TO YOUR SHRUNKEN FACE

..... but, it's not bad.

The song reminds me of T-Bone Burnett's songs which I also like.

Sound = should in first comment. I forgot my phone was in Italian- that always brings up weird words.
