Elvis is a genius

I shamelessly use his "Spare us the theatrics and the verbal gymnastics, we break wise guys just like matchsticks"

Oh, what would the loved ones say, what would the loved ones say ?

Any idea what the tears were about here?

Telling backstory to Bird on a Wire, no wonder it makes him weepy. Maybe he sang it that night and the weight of its salvation in his life sat heavy with him and that is why he was so emotional and could't go on?
