Re: Gather 'round the pool, it's lyrics night tonight.

I think that Pat's finest lyric is:

'You've got to watch for the exit wounds when girls say yes.'

It's succinct, vivid, sad, violent...with one line, he describes all the pain, all the damage and all the sadness of a breakup. Yet there is a hint of sentimentality for simple, pleasant beginnings undertaken with trepidation.

I once told Pat how much I loved that lyric. He thought about it for a second and replied, 'yeah....I got kinda lucky with that one.'
