"You are coming down with me, hand in unloveable hand."

Wait. No.

"And I hope you die, I hope we both die."

Hmmm. This is harder than I thought.

How about all of "Alphonse Mambo"? Or "Broom People," Or "Alibi" or "02-75," which he wrote for his wife and is insanely sweet. Or all, literally all, of "Going to Georgia." (For instance, "the most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway is that it's you
and that you're standing in the doorway").

much as I love the lyrics, "and you smile as you ease the gun from my hand and I'm frozen with joy right where I stand" they are not going to cut it. This is for my wedding.

Also if you can come up with an irish toast that isn't (a) corny, (b) about death, (c) about killing the english or (d) being drunk, i'll buy you a Guinness.

i recently listened to Talking Heads "Love Has Come to Town" for the first time in, oh, a decade and change? Not depressing!

"This Must Be The Place" is insanely sweet, as well. I say this even though I'm keeping that one saved up for my own wedding, if I ever get around to having one.

Dear TSG,

Whatever, hater. We're still going to play "Boxcar" at my wedding.
