My favorite line is from X-Ray Spex: I Can't Do Anything. "Freddy tried to strangle me with my plastic popple beads, but I hit him back with my pet rrrrrat!"

I'm too drunk to fuck
You're too drunk to fuck
Too drunk to fuck
It's all I need right now Oh baby
I'm melting like an ice cream bar
Oh baby

And now I got diarrhea

I'm sitting all alone on Saturday night
I could get stoned but I dont feel right
There's nothing wrong with me
It must be all of you
Cause I'm feeling rejected
no matter what I do

"Vive le Rock" by Adam Ant isn't my favorite song, but it has my favorite line:

"You might be scratchin' records, but you won't be scratchin' mine!"

I want this on my tombstone.

But of course the one s

What are you trying to say, I'm crazy? When I went to

"Got to kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight”

U2 borrowed his line for their lyric in "God Part II"
