Favorite line from a song.

[Fetzu]

I have so many, but the one I think is most touching, to me, is Pearl Jam - Black.

"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why, why, why
Can't it be, can't it be mine"

 

[RED5]

"Trade in your hours for a handful of dimes..."

Been there done that,finished with it.Not going back.

 

[lowendfriend]

Here's mine, from Warren Zevon's "Lawyers, Guns and Money" :

Now I'm hiding in Honduras
I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers, guns and money
The **** has hit the fan

+1 on Warren's Lawyers...RIP

 

[lowendfriend]

"Trade in your hours for a handful of dimes..."

Been there done that,finished with it.Not going back.

So many Doors classic lines...

"We can whip the horses' eyes and make them sleep...and cry."

"The music is your special friend....dance on fire as it intends....music is your only friend...until the end."

 

[ubado]

"Someday I'll have a disappearing hairline
Someday I'll wear pyjamas in the daytime

Afternoons will be measured out
Measured out, measured with
Coffeespoons and T.S. Eliot"


Crash Test Dummies ... God Shuffled His Feet

 

[DblG]

I tried to be friendly,
I tried to be kind
I'm gonna drive you from your home,
Just like I was driven from mine

Someday baby, you ain't gonna worry po' me any more

 

[hbarcat]

repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability
to lift an eye to heaven conscious of his fleeting time here


From the song Right in Two by Tool from the album "10,000 Days".




Great thread.

 

[Flatty Banks]

you're an angel, and i'm a jackass, wish i could change it, but the clock rolls too fast.

yeah; credit right here.

 

[Frank Tuesday]

"Don't talk about the cycles of life
when your thoughts are so soft you can
cut them with a spork or a brides knife"

"Well you act like a man who's cross with every woman he's never had
If it's true looks could kill, you'd be the first to make me mad"

 

[Quadcam]

"we never failed to fail; it was the easiest thing to do."

 

[MisterMagician]

From Blindfolds Aside by Protest the Hero:

"And no one ever said that hope would be so beautiful
And no one ever said I'd have to pull the trigger on her"

 

[ryco]

"we never failed to fail; it was the easiest thing to do."

Yup -- that's a good one, all right!

 

[Hoover]

Regardless of whether these are my "favorites", these three always come to mind whenever this question gets asked:

"Didn't it feel good just sitting there talking, or lying there not talking?"
- Joni Mitchell, Free Man In Paris

"Our president's crazy, did you hear what he said?"
- Talking Heads, Making Flippy Flop

"I would do anything for love...but I won't do that"
- MeatLoaf, Anything For Love

 

[Vanceman]

For whatever reason, this always strikes a chord with me....

"How can you expect a child to understand the sickness of a world whose eyes are blind,
A boy who cannot conquere insecurities that fester in his mind,
The dying man inside this little boy is questioning his once upon a time."

Toy Matinee

 

[jbplayer]

I'm burning like a blow torch in my prime.

 

[Byzcat]

Led Zeppelin- "Communication Breakdown"

I don't know what it is I like about you, but I like it a lot.


Kinda describes everything I like.

 

[brothernewt]

"..and I wonder where I'll be in a year. I'll probably be sitting right here. And if you know the answer, don't tell me anyone. 'cause I don't wanna know."

 

[Phalex]

"I'm the who's got to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to."

 

[busmandan]

I'm hell on wheels and women and horses
Got me a string of lame nags and a few divorces
I keep my eyes peeled wide to see the next future ex-Mrs. Me

Roger Cline, "Bury My Heart at the Trailer Park"

 

[5StringBlues]

I know I’m not the man I used to be
This sudden lack of manly prowess is killin’ my self esteem
But I feel like such a failure with my broke down genitalia
I’m gonna go to Viagra before it falls
