For years now, I hear Jimi Hendrix in my head whenever someone spouts too much jargon.

But you and I, we've been through that

And this is not our fate

So let us not talk falsely now

The hour is getting late

Oh, I know. (i meant i heard his voice, not "his" words, but that was probably not very clear).

This gets better, actually: the legend goes that when Dylan heard Hendrix' version the first time, he made a remark to the effect of "welp, it's his song now..." and performed it either never again or very very rarely therafter.
