   I was never a huge Zevon fan but I always thought "You better stay away from him, he'll rip your lungs out Jim" was one of the best lines in any song, ever.

   I was quite enamoured with "little old lady..." and "ha! I'd like to meet his tailor", but it's all good. I've only heard two of his songs, but with all the Zevon-worship that goes on around here, and the quality of the songs I have heard, it's obviously time to go buy some CDs...

   Gwar, hit somebody!

   I'm thinking you'd like this lyric Mark from "searching for a heart":

   Darkness in the morning
   Shadows on the land
   Certain individuals
   Aren't sticking with the plan

   CHORUS
   And I'm searching for a heart
   Searching everyone
   They say love conquers all
   You can't start it like a car
   You can't stop it with a gun

   Then there is my favourite strangely ignored by RWDBs in Australia:

   "And Johnny is my main man.
   He's the keeper of the key
   He'll put your mind at ease
   He's guaranteed to please
   Back by popular demand.

   Look around, my little friend
   Jubilation in the land
   Freddie get ready
   Rock steady
   When Johnny strikes up the band
   When Johnny strikes up the...
   When Johnny strikes up the...
   When Johnny strikes up the band"
