"10:30 the other night, I go out in my yard, and there's the Wurzer kid looking up in a tree. I said, 'what are you lookin' for?'
He said, 'I'm looking for my burrow owl.' I say 'Jumpin' Jesus on a pogo stick! Everybody knows the burrow owl lives in a hole in the ground. Why the hell do you think they call it a burrow owl, anyway??' Now Stewart, do you think a kid like that is gonna know what the queers are doing to the soil?" - Dead Milkmen.

People always try to shove my face into the ground when all they really want to do is suck out my motherfukcing brain.

"In order to survive you, I must first survive myself"
- Tool, Bottom

the 3 men i admire most, the father, son and the holy ghost caught the last train for the coast.

I admit I skimmed through some of the posts, so some of these might already be in the thread:

"Would you like to learn to fly? Would you like to see me try?"
-Pink Floyd

"It's not enough.
I need more.
Nothing seems to satisfy.
I don't want it.
I just need it.
To feel, to breathe, to know I'm alive."
Tool - Stinkfist

This one always makes me really emotional
"My my, hey hey
Rock and roll is here to stay
It's better to burn out
Than to fade away
My my, hey hey.

It's out of the blue and into the black
They give you this but you pay for that
And once you're gone you can never come back
When you're out of the blue
And into the black

The king is gone but he's not forgotten
This is the story of a Johnny Rotten
It's better to burn out than it is to rust
The king is gone but he's not forgotten

Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye."
Neil Young - My my hey hey

you said we were an accident
you'll always be my favorite one

My Favorite Accident by Motion City Soundtrack

you've got me wrapped around your wrist
covering those memories
Time After Next by incaseoffire

Don't start me talkin'
I could talk all night
My mind goes, sleepwalkin'
While I'm putting the words to right.

-Elvis Costello, Oliver's Army

When I hold you, in my arms
And I fell my finger on your trigger
I know, nobody can do my no harm
Because, happiness, is a warm gun

-Beatles, Happiness is a Warm Gun

And on a lighter note:

I am the Eggman
I am the Eggman
I am the Walrus
Goo goo g'joo (or however the hell you spell it)

Mister City Policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row.
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run.
I'm crying, I'm crying.

-Beatles, I am the Walrus

One line that really put a lump in my throat the first time I heard it:

"You never took us fishing Dad, and now you never will."

From Lost Boys Calling, by Roger Waters. It's the closing credits music to Legend of 1900. The whole song is very melancholy, and that one really stabs you.

-Mikey

thought of another great one this morning...

"Penguins are so sensitve to my needs"
-Lyle Lovette, Penguins

in your arms, I feel so safe and so secure
every day is such a perfect day to spend
alone with you

- Genesis, Follow You, Follow Me


"gimme a HOOOO if you've got your funky bus fare!"
- Gap Band, Double Dutch Bus

it's Simple Plan- addicted

this is from the Beastie boys song " Hold It Now- Hit It" :

Now I chill real ill when I start to chill
When I fill my pockets with a knot of dollar bills
Sipping pints of ale out the window sill
When I get my fill I'm chilly chill
Now I just got home because I'm out on bail
What's the time? it's time to buy ale
Peter eater parking meter all of the time
If I run out of ale it's Thunderbird wine
Miller drinking chicken eating dress so fly
I got friends in high places that are keeping me high
Down with Mike D. and it ain't no hassle
Got the ladies of the eighties from here to White Castle

a little bit more than a line but it really cracks me up.

Hatebreed - We still fight ( was really blasting this one when the Iraq war began)

Talk of the causes you support
Voice your misdirected views
You only comment on the things you don't have the power to change
Do you even think before you speak
Do you know what it is you condone?
Take a look at the world today
You've taken your freedom and safety for granted

How do you justify (you have no right)
The way you disgrace those who gave their lives
And how do you justify (you have no right)
The way you disrespect those whose loved ones died.

Everyday is a different crusade
You revolt from the safety of your fantasies
Privileged, you've never fought for a thing
You'd be the first to go if there was real anarchy
All your jargon makes me sick
You're the farthest thing from an activist
You've lost sight of what's important and real
You've taken your freedom and safety for granted

(How do you justify...)

Kill!

This is dedicated to all those who gave their lives to uphold their beliefs
Not to those who try to demean their sacrifices
You have no right.

For those who fought our rights and for those who gave their lives.
And for the families whose love ones died.
It's their honor for which we still fight.

Friendship is the only beast never known to bite till its dead.
Last Illusion - J.F.Murphy and Free Flowing Salt

Friends keep telling me
I bear a striking resemblance to someone you used to know
But baby it's me
So why the hell you keep on calling me Flo

- Smash mouth - Flo

Remember I will always love you
As I claw your fucking throat away
It will end no other way
It will end no other way

- Tool - Pushit

Watching little children, with their fully automatics, they like to push the weak around.

- Soad - deer dance

Both from Jethro Tull's "One White Duck/0^10=nothing at all"

But my dreams are for dreaming and best left that
way --- and my zero to your power of ten equals
nothing at all.
--
But remember your way in is also my way out, and
love's four-letter word is no compensation.

i'm about as lonesome as a poor boy gets
and there's nothing i can do
cause it's dark out here
and i cant find you
oh...it dont get any lonlier than this

See signature below for my favorite line from a song...

"I'm so lonely, You're so beautiful..."

~STAIND "Crawl"

"She shadows me in the mirror, she never leaves on the light
and some things that I say to her just don't seem to bite"
- Cars, All Mixed Up

I was listening to a lot of Randy Newman at the time...



No one likes us - I don't know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the big one and see what happens

We give them money-but are they grateful?
No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
They don't respect us-so let's surprise them
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them

Asia's crowded and Europe's too old
Africa is far too hot
And Canada's too cold
And South America stole our name
Let's drop the big one
There'll be no one left to blame us

We'll save Australia
Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
We'll build an All American amusement park there
They got surfin', too

Boom goes London and boom Paris
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town
Oh, how peaceful it will be
We'll set everybody free
You'll wear a Japanese kimono, baby,
And there'll be Italian shoes for me

They all hate us anyhow
So let's drop the big one now
Let's drop the big one now

And The Bloodhound Gang:

Jimmy Jimmy y'all Jimmy damn Jimmy yea
Gimme the mic Rob so I can take it away
Got more lines than the welfare office
Are you upset you'll never get to be as clever as this?
Spreadin' quicker than your mom have a feel but don't cop it
Yeah I stole your beat but that's 'cause you dropped it
Crude as oil unrefined but slick
I'm gonna get you from behind like a gay convict
'Cause my name ain't Quasimodo but I still got a hunch
That like the Jim Jones cult I'll take you out with one punch
You're Spiro Agnew and I'm the Dick you answer to
You're sweatin' like a watermelon at a Baptist barbecue
Sneakin' up like celery yeah I'm stalkin'
I squeak like Stephen Hawkings yeah but I'm walkin'
Nose to ground so this Bloodhound will sniff and follow it
I hope you choke on your pride when I make you swallow it
Screamin' like a Mimi when you see me comin' near ya
Like a Kenny Loggins' record no one's ever gonna hear ya
Like a game of Hide and Seek it's all over if I see ya
'Cause you're yellower than tinkle and you'll be runnin' like diarrhea

BobaClark! MSI Rocks.

In the twilight of my life
I don't need no grammys
Rock my gay acceptance speech
Most of all I'd like to..

Thank god
For programming my beats
I'd like to thank god
for making me hard like I'm from the streets
God wrote all my dopest rhymes
Especially the ones about shooting niggaz and
getting fucking high

"Stop talking, negotiating
Your feebles attempts towards world peace -
HA! Gimme a fucking break.
Need world wide genocide
Planetary suicide
And when the whole damn world is dead -
There's your fucking peace."

Fuck yes. You sir have great musical taste.

Please see anything by tom waits - he has the best vocabulary and richest imagery of anyone i can think of, but, how about these chestnuts from the odds:
-straight out of karate lessons / to register these hands...as weapons...
and
i like the smell, and endure the taste of / everything thats cheaper / if you ask me did i have a good time, i'll say / get the lights mr. grim reaper...

heh, I gotta admit, Wil Sasso from MadTV did a great Randy Newman, and his music has a good vibe to it too. (newman that is.)

this is me with the words on the tip of my tongue and my eye through the scope down the barrel of a gun, remind me not to ever act this way again, and this is you trying hard to make sure that you're seen with a girl on your arm and your heart on your sleeve, remind me not to ever think of you again.

Mixing up the medicine
