Most songs have bridges in them, to distract listeners from the main verses of a song so they don't get bored. My songs don't have a lot of bridges because lyric poetry never had them.

The song was there before me, before I came along. I just sorta came down and just sorta took it down with a pencil, but it was there before I came around.

Some formulas are too complex and I don't want anything to do with them.

Your heart is like the ocean, mysterious and dark.

If you can't lend a hand, then get out of the way.

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am.

I lost my one true love. I started drinking.
