" "
Next door, the TV's flashing
blue frames on the wall.
It's a comedy from the seventies
with a lead no one recalls.
He vanished into oblivion
it's easy to do
and I cried a sea when you talked to me
the day you said we were through.
But it's all right, some enchanted night
I'll be with you

Additional quotes by Elliott Smith

The first true love that folded at the slightest touch,
brought down like an old hotel,
people digging through the rubble for things they can resell.

Elliott: "Do you want to hear a happy or a sad song?"
Crowd: "Happy!"
Elliott: "Old or new?"
Crowd: "Old!"
Elliott: "Happy and old, that's a strange choice."

I don't intend to write depressing songs and I'd probably rather write happy ones
