It occurred to me today that Neil Young's song "Cortez the Killer" has an abrupt ending. It's as if Neil wanted to write a long song of epic scope but just ran out of steam.
Also, is there any lyric sadder than the end of Bob Mould's "Compositions for the Young and Old," to wit:
"I hear the weatherman
He says "it looks like rain for a while
I guess I'll have to stay inside
Make peanut butter sandwiches and cry."
Fuck, makes me wanna cry every time I hear it. Bob Mould deserves to have his name live on for a thousand years for writing the album Workbook.
