Favorite lyrics: see cause we're coming now onto the chorus, so smile and smash your cigarette right between my eyes

This song has a perfect combination of chalky bitterness and Broadway-proportioned cheerfulness. You can imagine little dancers jumping off of the treble clefs of this sheet music with full-teethed smiles on their faces, the beat is that up. But then there are the lyrics, which like to singe through whatever they hit; they're callus and ballsy and completely quotable. It's like watching a sunset over the ocean - after that whole BP oil spill thing. There's a sweet syrupy bit for your ears tied with a sarcastic witty piece for your brain, which is pretty musically stimulating. It's an auditory mix-match, a game of lyrical vs. melodic tic-tac-toe, and both of them score a good amount of x's and o's.
