Lyrics, Light Grenades (2006)
“Success is relative. It is what we make of the mess we have made of things.”
“ever since I met you I have admired you more than any girl… I have ever met since… I met you.”

“We don't mean to mess things up,
But mess them up we do.”
Everything About It Is a Love Song
Song lyrics, Surprise (2006)
Context: We don't mean to mess things up,
But mess them up we do.
And then it's "Oh, I'm sorry."
Here's a smiling photograph
Of love when it was new.
At a birthday party.
Make a wish and close your eyes:
Surprise, surprise, surprise.
“I met a girl, snowball in hell she was hard and as cracked as the liberty bell.<BR”
Don't Go Down.
Lyrics, From a Basement on the Hill (posthumous, 2004)
Of her performance of "What I Am" on Saturday Night Live, when she noticed Paul Simon standing in front of a cameraman. "Whatever happened to Edie Brickell?" CNN.com (7 January 2004)
