Lyric discussion by Vague Rant 

Cover art for My Way (Is Not Always the Best Way) lyrics by Everybody Was in the French Resistance... Now!

A response to the Frank Sinatra standard "My Way", written by Paul Anka. The original's dying man says he lives without regrets, because in all matters, he lived by his own rules and cowed to nobody else's views. Eddie Argos, on the other hand, understands that life is best lived by committee.

In Eddie's words: Paul Anka admires a selfish man's death-bed declaration that living his life according to his own convictions and desires alone is enough. Everybody Was In The French Resistance ... Now! think that one should take others' opinions into consideration.
