there are some other examples of Eddie phrasing things like this, I just can't remember them, but I think they're rad...

if you can help me out here... I'm sure I'll come across them in the next few days

I've noticed a few but can't really think of any at the moment.

"Me you wouldn't recall"from Small Town always sounds...odd. But the delivery is amazing so it balances out =)

that one never bothered me. The line ike pointed to jumped out at me with WWS right away (still does). But McParadigm says that it is gramatically correct and who am I to argue?

Aren't small departures from correct grammar allowed in poems? Poets and lyricists use it to fit metrics.

well I'm not grading his grammar. I just don't care for how it sounds. It's awkward
