Murphy's on his deathbed
He can hardly speak a word
He's got he worst condition that his doctor's ever heard
His heart was bearly beating, he was seconds from collapse
We brought him back to life by crying "Free Time at the Taps!"

That's a total tough one! Um, all of them? I do really like The River Driver and The Mermaid and When I'm King at the moment.
How did you become a fan of 7?
Heard his tune Cry on VH1's late night music video show (Insomniac something?) and then asked for the record, The American, got it for my birthday and have been in love with his songwriting style and voice ever since.
