Lyrics

• Nothing is crueller than children who come from good homes.
  • "Night Recconaissance" Live (2006)

• A turn, a screw, a pull, a twist, the drug that makes you prettiest.
  • "June is Busting Out All Over" Live (Date unknown)

• I'm not gonna live my life on one side of an ampersand.
  • "Ampersand" Live (2006)

• you're rich, in love
  you're great bed
  you'll see the world
  you'll knock 'em dead
  and all the thick books that you've read
  will count for nothing in the end
  • "Straight" Live (2004)

Quotes

• BH: Your sound is quite refreshing, did it come naturally?
  AP: As natural as the day you were born, my love.
