"Started swearing to my God, and on my mother's grave,
that I would love you 'til the end of time, I swore I would love you 'til the end of time............

So now I'm prayin' for the end of time to hurry up and arrive,
cause if I have to spend another minute with you I don't think that I can really survive!"

Meatloaf
No, they ain't makin' Jews like Jesus anymore
They don't turn the other cheek the way they done before
He started in to shoutin' and a-spittin' on the floor
"Lord, they ain't makin' Jews like Jesus anymore."

"What goes on in Detox Mansion
Outside the rubber room
We get therapy and lectures
We play golf in the afternoon"

"Mama looked down and spit on the ground every time my name gets mentioned
Papa said "Oy! if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention"

- Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard by Paul Simon -

I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel.
I was staring in my empty coffee cup.
I was thinking that the gypsy wasn't lyin'.
All the salty margaritas in Los Angeles.
I'm gonna drink 'em up.

And if California slides into the ocean.
Like the mystics and statistics say it will.
I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill.

Desperados Under The Eaves by Warren Zevon
Well, the devil made me do it the first time
The second time I done it on my own
