Love the line, love the song. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

What about:
"I was dreaming when I wrote this..." etc. (I guess 1999 was the album for great opening lines!) "We've never been able to pull off a funk number"
"That's becuase we're soulless auttomatons" | |

Rather than parallel park (I assume) she parked the car sideways to make it easier for her to leave. Didn't plan on haging around too long. That is his best opening line, imo. Honorobale mention goes to "Dearly beloved, we are gathered her today..." . [This message was edited Mon Feb 23 6:02:49 2004 by Universaluv] | |

I dont think that was the car he was talking about. Know what I mean? No one owns the music, we just make it our own | |

While we're in the mood 4 analysis, I think he's dwelling more on the fact that the chick was reckless. She parked it sideways,left it there in the street and didn't even worry about it, Its all in the attitude.
What Bout U? | |

"Guess I should have known by the way you parked your car sideways that it wouldn’t last."
Exellent line, and a line I can relate to - especially these days   and there it is | |

"Every friday night I call your butt up on the phone
A deeper voice answers and says you're not at home Now if u think that I'm a fool who'll go 4 any line Then honey, put down all your money, u win every time" Not a single line, but certainly one of my favs. Say "hi" to Mr. Bear | |
