I'm sorry bud, but I just can't let that slide.
how did my eyes get so red?
and what the hell is on Joey's head?
Those are bad lyrics. Very bad. It's okay to be sentimental, but you can still do it with class, you know what I mean? Like that "Such Great Heights" song, by The Postal Service.
I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
In our eyes are mirror images and when
We kiss they're perfectly aligned
Doesn't get much cheesier than that, but it's a whole lot more respectable. And the college girls just melt for it.
If you don't like the electronic blips of the original, get this version of the song. It's just acoustic guitar and vocals, and he slows it down a bunch. I like it better than the original myself.
Edit: To avoid confusion, I should note that the second link is not the original artist. He's a folk-pop songwriter I played some shows with in college, and he does a dynamite cover of the song.
Don't forget the Iron and Wine version of "Such Great Heights".
Interesting piece of trivia: Nickelback were literally stoned until they left the stage when they did a concert in Portugal. I was there.
