One who sings with his tongue on fire, gargles in the rat race choir.

Up north, you could find these radio stations with no name on the dials that played pre-rock 'n' roll things - country blues. We would hear Slim Harpo or Lightnin' Slim and gospel groups, the Dixie Hummingbirds, the Five Blind Boys of Alabama. I was so far north, I didn't even know where Alabama was.

Passion is a young man's game. Young people can be passionate. Older people gotta be more wise.

Let me feel your love one more time before I abandon it.

I'll stand over your grave 'til I'm sure that you're dead.
