Fave lyric.
One line only.

"...I told him with my voice..."

"you could vote for labour but you can't anymore"
Robyn Hitchcock.. 1974
"Never drive a car when you're dead"

In fact, anything from 'No, I Don't Remember Guildford' by Robin Hitchcock.
'No, I don't remember Guildford
not the cathedral or the pool.. if there's a pool.'

Any major dude with half a heart surely will tell you my friend,
Any minor world that breaks apart falls together again.
When the demon is at your door, in the morning it won't be there no more,
Any major dude will tell you.
Steely Dan from the Pretzel Logic album
I have a friend in town, he's heard your name
We can go out driving on Slow Hand Row
We could stay inside and play games, I don't know
And you could have a change of heart

Cos I don't know if you are loving somebody
I only know it isn't mine

Now I guess I'll have to tell 'em

"Dying is easy, it's living that scares me to death..."
--Some Annie Lennox song, but a sentiment I've heard before. Appeals to my leftover teen angst...

Let me inside you
into your room
I've heard it's lined with the things you don't show
From Hymn to Her, the Carpenters
that was the pretenders, no?
aahhhhhhh so many
At the moment tho I think that Good Charlotte's is mildly amusing
"Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money!"
'chuckles strangely to herself'
The German athletic star was continually ill.
For months doctors were puzzled.
The star would complain of the smell in his room.
On visiting him this was found to be true.
An odour resembling hot-dogs permeated the whole bedroom.
A solution was only discovered by my closely
watching his brother Gert.
Gert was handsome, well-meaning, but slightly a careless type.
Not malicious, I hope you understand and grasp.
No chance.
But on returning from his clerical job, Gert
would park his Volkswagen at the end of the day
willy-nilly in the driveway, usually the wrong way round,
so that the exhaust fumes would flow upwards right through
the open windows of the athletic star's upstairs bedroom.
I also discovered that Gert would turn his engine
over for up to an hour. I don't know why.
Citizens in my street are also
partial to this.

"a heart that's full up like a landfill, a job that slowly kills you, bruises that won't heal"
from Radiohead's "no suprises"

And it goes on something like:
"Boys they laugh at girls when they're not funny."
Which is the bit that makes me chuckle strangely.
(When a woman's attractive and you want to sleep with her and there's a chance because she seems to like you a bit too, it's surprising how amusing everything she says and does seems all of a sudden.)

"don't wait up, we won't be back alive"
(King Adora- Music Takes You)
"I get up in the evening and i ain't got nothing to say, i come home in the morning and go to bed feeling the same way."
( Bruce Sprngsteen- Dancing in the dark)
"Oedipus, oedipus Rex,
Killed his daddy, used his mama for sex"
(King Kurt- Oedipus Rex)
"and the last thing that I saw, as I lay there on the floor was 'Jesus saves' painted by an atheist nutter..."
Down in the tube station at midnight - The Jam
the north side of my town faced east and the east was facing south...
substitute, the who
....are birds free from the chains of the skyway?
Ballad in Plain 'D' Bob Dylan
Touch my bum this is life
(the cheeky girls)
a carrot is the closest a rabbit comes to a diamond
d van vliet
The coolest thing I ever saw
you were sitting there smoking my cigerettes
you were naked on the bare stone floor
(Undressd: Lloyd Cole)
