63. Money and love have a fraught relationship.

64. For your consideration: my freshly minted acronym.

There are other ways to frame responses here! They're all probably more boring on average but it's not impossible to do.

67. our music is more considered and thoughtful than that of our peers. we spend time over it like talented chefs - they serve it up as quick as possible for the masses.

68. "woke up this morning, decided to write a song that begins 'woke up this morning'"

68a. alternatively, did not wake up this morning because i couldn't get to sleep last night

69. If you see my mister/missus tell them I'm sick of their shit and I'm off. But phrase it nicely cos I don't want to come across like a ghosty chicken-shit prick

captain beefheart did this with "my head is my only house unless it rains", but he also did "grow fins". i'd say there ought to be more songs that used the same central idea as "grow fins", but none of them would be as good as "grow fins", so why fucking bother?

74. My metaphorical paintbox is lacking bright colours

75. No matter how much I try to come across as a nice guy, you will think I'm a total cock AKA every Coldplay song ever.
