Alice is a great album overall. I can't even begin to pick a favorite song. Maybe Johnsburg, Illinois.

I really like his 'sweet' songs, like "Coney Island Baby" and "You Can Never Hold Back Spring." They bring out images of old, weathered people that have been through some shit wistfully holding hands with their significant other. I also like "I Don't Wanna Grow Up." Childhood is tragic. And for the dirty old man inside everyone, "Pasties and a G-String." "She's so good she'd make a dead man come." Leaving Las Vegas really should have commissioned Tom Waits for the soundtrack instead of that corny ass shit they used.
