Your favourite lyric of 2008
Just one. Doesn't have to be the best lyric ever, doesn't have to have some greater meaning. Just a few lines that speak to you.
It occurs to me that the first verse of Death Cab for Cutie's 'Your New Twin Size Bed' is one of the most achingly poignant, resigned-to-fate, bittersweetly funny openers in anyone's, let alone Death Cab's lyrical history.
"You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed
with a single pillow underneath your single head
I guess you decided that that old queen was more space than you would need
Now it's in the alley behind your apartment with a sign that says 'Free...
...and I hope you have more luck with it than me'"
