Context: Nothing ever grows in this rotten old hole
And everything is stunted and lost
And nothing really rocks and nothing really rolls
And nothing's ever worth the cost. And I know that I'm damned if I never get out
And maybe I'm damned if I do
But with every other beat I got left in my heart
You know I'd rather be damned with you.
“I'm intact, and I don't give a damn.”
From the German (In Hyperion).

Variant: A youth would marry a maiden,
For fair and fond was she;
But their sires disputed about the Mass,
And so it might not be.
“I may be uninspiring, but I'll be damned if I'm alien.”
Allegedly said in response to H. G. Wells's criticism of his "alien [i.e. German-descended] and uninspiring court"
