What is your fav (rhyming) manics couplet?
For me it's either 'under neon loneliness / everlasting nothingness' or 'and on the street tonight an old man plays / with newspaper cuttings of his glory days'

This Joke Sport Severed -

I endeavoured
To find a place where
I became untethered

Don't know if it's my all time fave but it's where I'm at right now...

I always liked this from Cardiff Afterlife

For I witnessed splendour
And evil that no-one saw
And I felt kindness
And vanity for sure
