    The Clash --
    Charlie don't surf and we think he should

    to this day there is still arguments over who came up with the line first, Apocalypse Now, or the Clash for the legendary three album set, Sandinista. The Clash three album set came out a few months after Apocalypse Now

    First line is great, hell the whole first verse rules. Straight, and to the point. lol

    I ****ed your girlfriend last night.
    While you snored and drooled, I ****ed your love.
    She called me Daddy.
    And I called her baby when I smacked her ass.
    I called her sugar when I ate her alive till daylight.
    And I slept with her all over me,
    from forehead to ribcage I dripped her ass.
    Sometimes I thought you might be spying,
    living out some brash fantasy, but no.
    You were knocked out.
    But we were all knocked out you know.
    In a way

    Lyle Lovett: That's right (you're not from Texas)

    "You say you're not from Texas,,,man as if I couldn't tell"

    There is no other song ever about any state that starts that way.
