Ya know what, screw it. I'm dropping Pete Silberman of the Antlers as my final nominee and going for this genius.


Weird Al Yankovic



You slammed my face down on the barbecue grill
Now my scars are all healing but my heart never will

Edit: I highly recommend giving this piece a read whenever you have the time. The Weirdly Enduring Appeal of Weird Al Yankovic

Coincidentally, that's exactly what I was coming here to do.

Neko Case


Chimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young
Now I've freezing hands
And bloodless veins
As numb as I've become
I'm so tired
I wish I was the moon tonight


Nanci Griffith


Oh, he said it was the sound of the winter callin'
From up around the bend
Or it could be the cry of your restless heart
For the love of your long lost friends
Me, I think it's just the summertime and the heat of these Texas winds
They keep on slappin' my face with dust so thick
That the tears won't roll again

Patrick "Pat" Walker (Warning)



I want to be master of my own
Emotions with a fire that fills me
But I don't understand myself
And I don't know what my heart is anymore

I don't want to be standing in this war
Through pity and responsibility
So come into my life, with your violence and pain
Because I feel the depths of a love I've never known



Lou Reed (solo)


Just a perfect day
You made me forget myself
I thought I was someone else
Someone good

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

I have one prediction: Weird Al will not win this tournament.

Edit: pretty sure Lawrence is not winning either though so I shouldn't really get snippy.

Phil Elverum



Every night when the sun went down
In the town where we live
The empty streets were lit up
By reflected light
From a distant sun
Bouncing off a glowing ball of rock
We just lied on the roof and watched
The moon
The moon!
The blue light of the moon!
We didn't talk and silently we both felt powerful
Like the moon my chest was full
Because we both knew we're just floating in the same space over molten rock
And we felt safe and discovered that our skin is soft
There's nothing left except certain death
And that was comforting under the moon


Towns Van Zandt



If only she
Could feel my pain
But feelin' is a burden
She can't sustain
So like a summer Thursday
I cry for rain
To come and turn
The ground to green again

Van Morrison

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won
As we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky

Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic


Beck

There's a destination a little up the road
From the habitations and the towns we know
A place we saw the lights turn low
The jigsaw jazz and the get-fresh flow
Pulling out jives and jamboree handouts
Two turntables and a microphone
Bottles and cans and just clap your hands
And just clap your hands

Where it's at
I got two turntables and a microphone

Ach! We're at 34.

I think I'll just drop two of my nominees and we'll begin. Stay tuned.
