It was probably Thurston since he writes the worst lyrics in the band, and James Joyce (at least Finnegans Wake) is an awful, awful writer only praised for his "avant-garde" bullshit, so.. yeah, probably Thurston.
Idk, I may eventually get to reading A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man or Dubliners, or even Ulysses, but fuck something as pretentious as Finnegans Wake. Though wherever the Secret Girl lyric is from, I do enjoy that line, at the least.
