		<description><![CDATA[Susan,

I&#039;m a bit late on this one, but I had to add my favorite:

&quot;Generals gathered in their masses,
Just like witches at black masses.
Evil minds that plot destruction,
Sorcerers of deaths construction.
In the fields the bodies burning,
As the war machine keeps turning.
Death and hatred to mankind,
Poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!&quot;

-&quot;War Pigs,&quot; opening track to Black Sabbath&#039;s &lt;i&gt;Paranoid&lt;/i&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[These aren&#039;t really my all-time faves, just a couple off the top of my head:

Two-headed dog, two-headed dog, I&#039;ve been working in the Kremlin with a two-headed dog.

-Roky Erickson, Two-Headed Dog (Red Temple Prayer)

Bedouin tribes ascending from the egg into the flower.

-13th Floor Elevators, Slip Inside This House

I guess I should&#039;ve known by the way you parked your car sideways that it wouldn&#039;t last.

-Prince, Little Red Corvette

Black out the windows, it&#039;s party time.

-Twilight Singers, Martin Eden]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;You cannot quit me so quickly&quot;
-Dave Mathews, The Space Between

&quot;Well they say your life was marked
And you were wondering if it would ever start&quot;
-Better Than Ezra, Hollow

&quot;I sit at my table and wage war on myself&quot;
REM, World Leader Pretend

&quot;Birdie in the hand for life&#039;s rich demand
The insurgency began and you missed it&quot;
REM, Begin the Begin

&quot;That&#039;s great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane and Lenny Bruce is not afraid&quot;
-REM, It&#039;s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

&quot;Take a look at my girlfriend
She&#039;s the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot&quot;
-Supertramp, Breakfast in America

&quot;Funny how I find myself in love with you&quot;
-Talk Talk, It&#039;s My Life

&quot;I am an arms dealer
Fitting you with weapons in the form of words&quot;
-Fall Out Boy, This Aint a Scene

&quot;Last year&#039;s wishes
Are this year&#039;s apologies&quot;
-Fall Out Boy, I&#039;m Like A Lawyer With The Way I&#039;m Always Trying To Get You Off 

&quot;Am I more than you bargained for yet?
I&#039;ve been dying to tell you anything you want to hear, cause that&#039;s just who I am this week&quot;
-Fall Out Boy, Sugar We&#039;re Goin&#039; Down]]></description>
