I've started compiling a list of other things that love is sweeter than:



Chinese burns

Losing your car keys

CD scratches

Natural disasters

Speeding fines

Bryan Ferry

DVD scratches

Rickets

Inclement weather

Rust

"Love is sweeter than death" is officially a STUPID THING TO SAY.
Officially.

Any KJ lyrics that use quotes from others or from books that big people
read? Ok, adults.

I just read an op/ed in another language about a jewish perspective on
the meaning of a latin american martyr's death, and the last sentence was,
(translated) "love is stronger than death," and I immediately thought of
Jeremy singing "Our Last Goodbye" (end
<http://www.lyricsmania.com/our_last_goodbye_lyrics_killing_joke.html> of
verse after the chorus) where he paraphrases it as: "love is sweeter than
death."

So I know of,

"Brighter than a 1.000 suns"

"silent weapons for a silent war"

"And the 3rd angel sounded..."

any others? and please include what/ who he's quoting. Thanks.



(i'm sure in Jeremy's mind it's enough that

he's actually quoting Jeremy! but I' need more..)

[looking at the current state of things..]



'Who has the fun..

..is it always a man with a gun...?

Someone must have told him if you work too hard... you can sweat"
