[Tequila Revenge]

FOUL!!! FOUL!!!

NOT FAIR!!! FOUL!!!

[parrotsgirl]

wow....are you kidding me....this one is really tough...think im going to have to really think on this

[ejr]

This was tough-in the end, I think He Went to Paris is a prettier song, but I will be content with either one of these moving on.

[CaptainP]

Don't get much tougher than this.......

[big john]

This was a tougher call than the one in "Sophies Choice".
I actually had to flip a coin.

[Ambition At Bay]

Whew, real tough one!!!

[halphbkd]

SOASOAS.....have never been much of a phan of HWTP!

[calypsogirl]

"Now away in the near future
Southeast of disorder
You can shake the hand of the mango man
As he greats you at the border"

SOASOAS

[~Hippolyte~]

By far the toughest of all the match-ups so far. I can't vote for the loser because with these two there won't be one.

through eighty-six years of perpetual motion
if he likes you he'll smile then he'll say
Jimmy, some of it's magic, some of it's tragic
but I had a good life all the way.

[moeron]

This is really getting harder...

[pojo]

Rough, Rough choice.

[dbcahill]

Who seeds these things? How does HWTP get a 15 seed? Probably a top 10 Buffett tune (unfortunately, not higher on the list than SOASOAS.

[Dezdmona]

Tough... He Went to Paris is my favorite JB song, but I love 'em both.
Classics all the way.

[yes i am a]

SOASOAS

[Tarheel Tail-Gator]

gotta go with He Went to Paris on this one. Tough call, though

[whitepelican]

no coin toss required, just put me Southeast of Disorder.

[Tequila Revenge]

I adore both songs, but HWTP was playing tonight on my computer so I cast one for the underdog.

[pbans]

Some of it's magic, some of it's tragic...
but I've had a good life all the way

It doesn't get much closer to perfection than that.....had to go with HWTP

[Tequila Revenge]

Some of it's magic, some of it's tragic...
but I've had a good life all the way

It doesn't get much closer to perfection than that.....had to go with HWTP

This verse pretty much hits home-

But the warm summer breezes
The french wines and cheeses
Put his ambition at bay
The summers and winters
Scattered like splinters
And four or five years slipped away

The entire song is somewhat haunting and at the same time a picture of how to make the best out of life. Great writing Jimmy!
