I believe that I often bring out the best in somebody's talents.
I'll ruin everything you are, I'll give you television.
Sometimes you stumble across a few chords that put you in a reflective place.
Elvis is English, and climbs the hills. Can't tell the bullshit from the lies.
I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years.

Bully for you, chilly for me, got to get a raincheck on pain.
