"Mundane by day, inane at night." It's a good all-purpose put-down as well.
The whole of Nine while Nine I find personally evocative based on a thoroughly cold and miserable hour at Guildford station listening to FALAA, but I'd accept that pathetic fallacy doesn't make for a great lyric.
SKOS is stunning ... and when I meet a girl who gets the point I'll get married
"... dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill / I hear dive bombers and /
Empire down." Welcome to Apocalypse: The Musical. I'll have a front row seat and some popcorn please.

And the devil in black dress watches over
My guardian angel walks away
Life is short and love is always over in the morning
Black wind come carry me far away

you reap what you sow
put your face to the ground
here come the marching men, your colours wrapped around

We forgive as we forget
As the day is long
As the day is long
Rain from Heaven
As the water flows over the bridge
As we walk on the floodland
As we walk on the water
We forget
We forget
Rain from heaven

that's one of my faves too... asmuch for the delivery as well as the lyric itself.

IMO Gift is worth buying for that song alone...
Not that the others aren't great too!

i'm quite partial to all of those snippets that appear in the top corner of the heartland homepage
...which for those that don't already know are pulled at random from this list:

OK. I've racked my brains but it won't come to mind.
Where does 'tunnel vision & the scars to prove it' come from?
All the others are easy...

Hey, I bet you're a regular on here joined up again with a new name just so you don't embarras yourself by not knowing that, right?

Or even embarrass yourself by mis-spelling "embarrass"

I have to back up a couple of replies with:
Flowers on the razor wire
Also:
Everybody got friends got shot upside and over down the line
Everybody got assignations
I got mine
Perhaps the most brilliant:
Jihad!

Neverland (a fragment)
I had a face on the mirror
I had a hand on the gun
I had a place in the sun and a
ticket to Syria
I had everything within my reach
I had money and stuff
each and every call
too much but never enough
tear it up and watch it fall

No, just someone who has been reading for a while without joining in. Thank you & Black Horizon for the answer which is so obvious now! As it always is, once someone tells you.

Meaningless yet significant numbers, eh? If we had an extra finger on each hand we'd all be counting in base twelve anyway, and "1000" would be 1728...
And before "Pedants' corner" starts, by 1111st, I meant "One thousand and eleventy-first". It shouldn't have been 1111th at all. Oh no.

See, it was because of me posting gibberish like this that I started the
"off-topic topic". How the feck do you get from posting about Sisters lyrics to random musings on number theory? Gah.

Love for the party love for the nation
Love for the fix for the fabrication
Love for the corpse for the corporation
Love for the death and for the defecation
Romance and assassination
Give me the love of genocide
Give me love

four useless gods upon a day
so blinded by the filth on sunday
saying the words for the idiots
you are miracle drivel
optical sewer
listens to the flowers fall
paint the words upon the wall
