Tuesday Lyrics Challenge [More:]I have a ton to do at work. . .this is my way of procrastinating. May it serve you similarly:

(I tried to have a least SOME lyrics from this century!)

1. All our friends were gathered there, with their pets and talkin' shit.

2. The test tubes and the scale, just get 'em all outta here.

3. The devil paints a double life, and there I cannot go.

4. I raise my arm against it all, and I catch the bride's bouquet.

5. But his baseball cap and this bar-room rap tell me a different story.

6. Where they drink Coca Cola just like vintage wine.

7. And though our bodies recoil from the grip of the soil, why the long face?

8. Well I did not say much. I just stood there watching as that .45 told them goodbye.

9. I can't believe life's so complex when I just wanna' sit here and watch you undress.

10. They got the mustard out.
8. Lyle Lovett, LA County

10 is "The Mustard" from that musical Buffy episode.

10 is right, DarkF. . .

We just have 3 and 4 left. . .with 4, it helps to know that, if men are pack animals, then this artist is the alpha male of my pack.
