The difficult, I'll do right now.
The impossible, will take a little while...

Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity
I ask myself, "Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred and misery?"
And each time I feel like this inside
There's one thing I wanna know
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh-oh
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?

Elvis Costello and the Attractions


It was by Nick Lowe. The Elvis Costello version is a cover.

There's a shortcut to the highway out of town
Why don't you take it?
Don't let that speed limit slow you down
Go on and break it.

John Prine


Great song. And since someone mentioned 10,000 Maniacs, check out their cover of it in Glasgow along with Michael Stipe and Billy Bragg.

John Prine is a master, listen to his songs and you're crying one minute and laughing the next.

There's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes.

You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach
You'll never drill for oil on a city street
I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
But there ain't no Coup de Ville hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box

It’s the hardest thing that I have ever done
To be so in love with you and so alone

Even children get older
And I'm getting older too

The first of December was covered in show
And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston
Though the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frosting

The first dupe, I think

A PP had this quote a few pages back.

And agreed: perhaps the best lyric from America's best song writer.
