MARCONI PLAYED THE MAMBO! LISTEN TO THE RADIO!

hm.... what about this one:

"time is running out
let there be no doubt
we should sort things out
if we care
like we say we do
not just empty words
for a week or two

make the world
your priority
try to live your life
ecologically
play a part
in a greater scheme
try to live the dream
on a wider scene

let's come together
right now
oh yeah
in sweet harmony"

Sweet Harmony - The Beloved

'When the moment strikes,
It takes you by surprise and leaves you naked in the face of death and life,
There's no righteousness in your darkest moment,
We're all equal in the face of what we're most afraid of' from Sympathy by Sleater-Kinney

"This is not a song, it's a SANDWICH! What would make you think otherwise?"

Eight is here!

These are the days to hold onto because we can't although we'll want to.

Worst line ever is the next one down:
You've given me the best of you,
And now I need the rest of you.

Which just sounds like cannibalism to me.

Creepy for sure, but I still love Billy so much.

That female dog is blind?
Well bisque, look at me now.

I could quote this entire album, it is pure poetry.

"So let's be married here today these rushing waves to bare our witness,
And we will lye like river stones rolling only where it takes us."

-The Decemberist - Hazards of Love

i went skating on your name
and by tracing it twice
i fell through the ice

I didn't mean to say it,
but I meant what I said.

I see it more clearly than ever before
I'm in it's invisible river a-flowing
Through everything I've ever been through before
Heads up, somethings really happening

yes. tons of Ani lyrics stormed into my brain when I opened this thread. a couple of my faves:

"Taken out of context I must seem so strange"

"They say goldfish have no memory
I guess their lives are much like mine
And the little plastic castle
Is a surprise every time"

And of course the one I got my username from:
"I do it for the joy it brings
Because I'm a joyful girl
Because the world owes me nothing
And we owe each other the world"

I want to sing one for the cars
that are right now headed silent down the highway
and it's dark and there is nobody driving
and something has got to give.

I saw you waiting by the roadside.
You didn't know that I was watching.
Now you know.

Let it all go. Let 'em all go.

Let it all go.

i can't stand in line at the store
the mean little people are such a bore
but it's all right if you act like a turd
'cause i like

birds

Every word of this song (here's the YouTube link, but I can never get YouTube links to work - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Fju9o8BVJ8).

i am happy to help you with this, rachell37, because YES TOM WAITS YES.

I was wondering if that's where your username came from :D

Love, the kind you clean up with a mop and bucket
Like the lost catacombs of Egypt, only God knows where we stuck it
Hieroglyphics? Let me be Pacific, I want to be down in your South Seas
But I got this notion that the motion of your ocean, means "small craft advisory"
So if I capsize in your thighs, high tide, be -5, you sunk my battle ship
Please turn me on, I'm Mr. Coffee with an automatic drip
So show me yours I'll show you mine "Tool Time", you'll Lovett just like Lyle
And then we'll do it doggie style so we can both watch X-Files

you gotta take out the s so it's http.

...I am not prepared, I just gotta gotta get there,
where am I, why can't I just get it together?
fork it, where's my shiitake?
Oh my God I'm mad at it
Oh my God I'm mad at it

Seriously consider getting this tattooed at some point. It pretty much sums up my daily state of being.

And I'm subtle
Subtle like a T-Rex

if you're so special, why aren't you dead?

"I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense

And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon, I suppose

But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break

And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows."

Me, too. Now I know.
