Not because it's brilliant but because it's Frank being Frank:
The desecration of this glebe
...
The last stand of Shazeb Andleeb

And I love the rhyme scheme in "My Life is in Storage." It goes:
AA
AB
BB
Like this:
I had a castle, I had no hassles
Now tears are tassles, you're sure to know it
Just when you blow it, then you can stow it
and this:
Come take a voyage to personal storage
And we will forage, leashes for my hounds
My tools for my grounds, speakers for my sounds

And one more couplet:
Like the reign of mastodon
Like the alleys of old Lyon

It's funny because 'violin' is actually in the lyrics of Two Reelers
--
"Aristophanes! (gong sounds)"
"Fucking up my devotion!"

Don't you know they speak vaudevillian?
from this forum's tab section
the lyric makes sense in the context of vaudeville. A couple of guys known for smacking the shit out of each other (three stooges)
*wait a damn minute... are you just busting chops? |

I think it was a wry reference to my signature line.

Billy Radcliffe didn't go to town
And when we looked up, he was looking right down
Catching blue in his eyes that were brown
Billy Radcliffe owned by the state
From his first breath to the cemetery gate
He was the first boy born in space
Billy Radcliffe very first one
He really had lived just a cursed son
A split in half man sang the cherubim
Billy Radcliffe saw what the Devil man he saw
He saw a spot of blue in black of the eye of the Lord Such a cruel love
Is the kind that has wrought oh Billy
Billy sadly didn't live long
He had to stay there because he wasn't too strong
He's stepping out the door, blowing up like bomb
Really a hatched man a light switch son
A split in half man sang the cherubim
Billy Radcliffe very first one
A split in half man sang the cherubim
I bet you cried when he died now didja
Now Billy Radcliffe saw what the Devil man he saw
He saw a spot of blue in black of the eye of the Lord, oh, Billy
Billy Radcliffe saw what the Devil man had
And I feel very bad for William Radcliffe

Can it get any better than this? The topic/idea, the story, the emotions, the imagery - and all packed in this few and seemingly (but not really) simple rhymes.
I joined the cult of Souled American / 'cause they are a damn' fine band |

We heard the tragedienne
We heard her sing all through the night
I remember her then, bathed in the light
Of that atomic number ten

Rhyme: House and mouse
Give me a blip
