Is Dinner Bells Spencer Krug or the other guy?

If so, that - if not, Idiot Heart.

Paper Lace

Mostly because of the "what's in the world, what's in the world? What's in the hearts of pretty girls? There's nothing left inside the room you filled with lion skins and laurels, those were good ideas but they weren't diamonds and pearls" bit.

- I dig that one
  
  That has one of my favorite all-caps Spencer Krug lines:
  
  "THERE'S NOTHING LEFT INSIDE THE ROOM YOU'VE FILLED WITH LION SKINS AND LAURELS, THOSE WERE GOOD YEARS, BUT THEY WEREN'T DIAMONDS AND PEEEEEEEEARLS"

All Fires

is pretty great as well. Hard to choose with this guy. Hasn't put a foot wrong yet in my mind.

- definitely all fires. I remember seeing sunset rubdown some guy in the audience kept shouting for it, krug seemed annoyed as it was 'another bands' song, even though that was a dickish thing for that audience guy to do I was kind of with him, he could have played it

Reading this thread from the top...

I nearly this'd about 5 different replies. I heart Spencer Krug. I'll add one that hasn't already been mentioned, so...Killing Armies. Or maybe What Did My Lover Say. Actually I think it's definitely You Go On Ahead, so my whole post was pretty pointless.

I'm not going to pick one and you can't make me

On an ever changing basis...
Shine A Light (or the killer three Same Ghost Every Night, Shine A Light and Dear Sons and Daughters...)
Dragons Lair (for the lyrics "I’m sorry that I’m late, I went blind, I got confetti in my eyes, I was held up at yesterday’s parties, I was needed on the congo line")
The Empty Threats of Little Lord

- Shine a Light is a Dan song, pal.

    shine a light > all of krug's stuff

  - Only share writing credits on one song and it's probably the best Wolf Parade song.

I'm only intimately familiar with Dragonslayer

But that's probably one of my all-time favorites. It's not easy to pick my favorite from it. But if I HAD to choose... I would say Idiot Heart, but for the sake of variety, I'll say Silver Moons.

I BELIEVE IN GROWING OLD WITH GRACE, I BELIEVE SHE ONLY LOVED MY FACE, I BELIEVE I ACTED LIKE A CHILD MAKING FACES AT ACQUIRED TASTES
