I should have known by the way that you parked your car sideways that it wouldn't last.....
His lyrics are stories like Chuck Berry used to tell.....

Yeah, Little Red Corvette! I've had that stuck in my head all goddamn day.
I just love the intro to that song, that first verse. He tapped into something primal there. It's a beautiful song about mundane and profane things, but it's just so sweeping and elegant, and succeeds so much in capturing and elevating a feeling, that it's almost rapturous. One of the best moments of '80s pop kicks off with that verse.
