Bring On the Dancing Horses

Another perfect pop song. I've got this ideal in my head of what that means, but I'm not sure how to describe it quite. I think I'll bring in my resident musicologist, Jon Schwartz, to tackle this question for all you loyal readers. Look forward to a future entry on Sooze's idea of the perfect pop song. Til then, savor these angsty '80s lyrics from Echo and the Bunnymen written for the Pretty in Pink soundtrack:

Shiver and say the words/Of every lie you've heard
First I'm gonna make it/Then I'm gonna break it till it falls apart
Hating all the faking/And shaking while I'm breaking your brittle heart, Brittle heart
