Great Lines # 15 Stanley Brinks & The Wave Pictures

 
From one Modern Lovers influenced band to another. The video has a bunch of middle aged people dancing round a kitchen. The whole lyric is worth quoting.
 
'It’s raining and the wind is ruthless
I’m old and cold and tired and useless and toothless
But I’ll get by with a little bit of you,
Alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, ephedrine, and orange juice
The radio sucks balls
I don’t relate to any of the music they’re playing at all
But I’ll get by with a little bit of you,
Alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, ephedrine, and orange juice
There’s shit all over the street
You can’t even walk, there is nowhere left to set one’s feet
But I’ll get by with a little bit of you,
Alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, ephedrine, and orange juice
And life doesn’t have a meaning
Anything goes, you might as well be dreaming
But I’ll get by with a little bit of you,'
