The one in my sig, from The Game by the Bunnymen. A long time fave

[Big Si]

I want you to know that I hate you baby
I want you to know I don't care
I'm so happy when you're not around me
So glad, when you're not there




Son, i'm 30
I only went with your mother 'cause she's dirty
And i don't have a decent bone in me
What you get is just what you see yeah



I should have told yer
That the things that you love start to own yer

[Planet Dave]

'butterfly decal rearview mirror, dogging the scene'

or

'seconds to the drop but it feels like hours'

or (though strictly speaking it's a sample)

'Oh God. Did you eat all that acid?' 'That's right! MUSIC!'

You still remember that from February?

[Obviousman]

I wish today was a very special day
but once again sex got in the way
war is over and I feel lonely again
well it takes a few
and then you've had it
it's a sad, sad planet
Evil Superstars - Sad Sad Planet

Tons of lines by the Sisters, but if we start posting those we won't be seeing the end of this in the near future

She opens her eyes just to check that she's asleep
and closes her eyes just to dream of being awake.
James Ray - Texas

Is my passion perfect? No, do it once again.
Leonard Cohen - Teachers (I knew his version before the Sisters version so that really counts as him )

The past is now part of my future, The present is well out of hand.
Joy Division - Heart And Soul

And many, many others

[Izzy HaveMercy]

What Men created, Men can destroy
Bring to the Light, that Day of Joy

- Entombed, Left Hand Path

The whole lyrics of 'A Blaze In The Northern Sky' by Darkthrone

And one of the nicest lyrics ever:

"Best Friend Money Can Buy" - Tiamat

we drank as much as we could
and she drank more than she should
we stumbled out of this cheap whiskey bar
and that is the story so far

guided by the dim streetlights
we walked through the black harbour night
no people, no passing car
well, that is the story so far

she thinks she smells the northland snow
and she`s as glad as i to go
hey very bolts are sick for shore
and i, i want it ten times more

she silenced her mouth when i asked for her name
and she asked me to please do the same
she said it's all written in the stars
and that is the story so far

but she whispered her name when i kissed her goodbye
her voice stained by whiskey and tar
she went back to where she belonged, and i
i went back to the bar

Oh and actually...EVERY lyrics by Tiamat are great. But most of you knew that

IZ.

[Andie]

i could spend the next five minutes copying and pasting the rest of this album


but hell...the opening lines give it away...

Listen Here Wolfchild
I Speak Of Maverick Deviation
The Psychotronic Love Commandos
We Shall Be Drunk On Stars
We Shall Fear Nothing
Demand The Impossible
Dream Your Destiny
Defy The Logic Of Alphabets
I Slave The King Of The World
Nothing Is Impossible



and a hearty mention for the "Bip Bop Dirty Star-Shine Thing" (i know you still read the posts )

[lazarus corporation]

I'll make you a deal, like any other candidate
We'll pretend we're walking home 'cause your future's at stake
My set is amazing, it even smells like a street
There's a bar at the end where I can meet you and your friend
Someone scrawled on the wall "I smell the blood of les tricoteuses"
Who wrote up scandals in other bars...

...

There s a place in space where violence and love collide inside
And solid is wide
And heat is cold
And birth is death
And creation and time are made from destruction
From f**king destruction

...

there's kerosene around...
something to do

...

Well there have been better plans
But none that I could ever understand
I see the emerald signal see the green on black
I see the light say move say never look back
And so I find another place where I'll never been seen
Find another place where the red turns green
Where the emerald glistens through the darkness again
Where the emerald glistens through the rain rain rain
And I'm happy here
In the rain
In the rain
In the rain rain rain
I'm happy here
In the rain
Where the emerald
Glistens
Through the rain

[nick the stripper]

Life is short and life is cruel
But we have fear and we have fuel

[smiscandlon]

I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
Nothing touches me
I'm a walking razor blade

[aims]

"A broken arrow in a bloody pool
The in the face
Of midnight proposals
Someone shot nostalgia in the back
Someone shot our innocence
...
All our stories burnt
Our films lost in the rushes
We can't paint any pictures
As the moon had all our brushes"

"All of my words are second hand
And useless in the face of this
Rationale and Rhyme and Reason
Pale beside a single kiss"

"You know I hate to ask
But are friends electric?
Mine's broke down
And now I've no-one to love"

"Und das Atmen faellt mir ach so schwer
Weh mir oh weh - Und die Voegel singen nicht mehr"

"I'm idly staring at the sky
Did anybody hear me sigh
A million stars are a moving sight
To all you out there
Reading this tonight
It's just a trick of the light"

It varies with mood. There are more, but those are the ones that come to mind immediately.

[nick the stripper]

Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals
Everybody happy as the dead come home
Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis
No-one move a muscle as the dead come home

The only song I've heard that was able to rhyme the word "parthonogenesis" successfully.

Owh yeah

All hail to Shriekback I also quite like 'this is the face that we show the world' from Clear Trails and 'Hey everybody swings from madness into method' from Into Method

Now wait til Mr. Blast gets to see this (Undoubtably he'll know better ones )

[canon docre]

One of my favourite lyrics: (for personal reasons )

You dance like liquid fire
Like crystal methedrine
You make the stars come closer
The most beautiful girl I've seen

You're everything I want
Only you can set me free
You're an angel in the snow
You're a shot in the arm for me

I will let your L.E.D.'s shine
I will let your L.E.D.'s shine

As long as you are mine

I will let your L.E.D.'s shine

As long as you are mine

You move and whisper softly
You make me safe and sound
You're a tranquilizer
You make the world go round

You are here beside me
You make me feel fine
I'll go through any day
As long as you are mine

I will let your L.E.D.'s shine

As long as you are mine

I will let your L.E.D.'s shine
As long as you are mine

[doc P]

love will tear us apart

[streamline]

"Fcuk it all and fcuking no regrets" (Those poets of thrash - Metallica)

"Son watches father scan obituary columns,
in search of absent school friends.
While his generation digests high-fiber ignorance,
cowering behind curtains and the taped up, painted windows.
Decriminalized genocide, provided door to door Belsens.
Pandora's box of holocausts,
gracefully cruising satellite infested heavens,
Waiting, wait..waiting the season of the button,
the penultimate migration,
Radioactive perfumes for the fashionably,
for the terminally insane ... insane" (Marillion - Fugazi - up its own arse but I still love it!)

[christophe]

"We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these color TV's"
Money for nothing - Dire straits. (becaus its so wierd )

See what I mean?

They rule.

[eastmidswhizzkid]

One cold damp evening
The world stood still
I watched as i held my breath
A sillhouette i thought i knew
Came through,someone spoke to me
Whispered in my ear
This fantasy's for you
Fantasy's are in this year
My whole life flashed,before my eyes
I thought,what they say is true
I've shed my skin,and my disguise
And cold on the naked eye
Emerged from my cocoon
And a half remebered tune played softly in my head
He said
He turns smiling...and said

I realise a miracle,is due
I dedicate this melody,to you
I realise a miracle,is due
I dedicate this melody,to you
But is this the stuff dreams are made of?
If this is the stuff dreams are made of
No wonder i feel like i'm floating on air
No wonder i feel like i'm floating on air
I realise a miracle,is due
I dedicate this melody,to you
But is this the stuff dreams are made of?
If this is the stuff dreams are made of
No wonder i feel like i'm floating on air
No wonder i feel like i'm floating on air
No wonder i feel like i'm floating on air
Everywhere
Oh, it feels like i'm everywhere
Like when you fail to make the connection,you know vital it is
Oh when something slips through your fingers you know precious it is
And you reach the point when you know
It's only your second skin
It's only your second skin
Someone's banging on my door

edit:(for Zeno)- the chameleons -second skin.

^ Good call LEE .

[Obviousman]

Would be nice if everyone noted the artist and song (s)he's quoting, but for the rest, very nice, everything

[James Blast]

Now wait til Mr. Blast gets to see this (Undoubtably he'll know better ones )

you have both done very well
but may I just offer into evidence:
Debts and obligations filled
The meal is cooked, the wine is chilled
All complete, decisions made
The guns are cocked, the traps are laid
Monuments in bricks and bone
Are built upon the words we own

Criss cross the words get lost
The airmail's missing and the lines are crossed

Medicine has been prescribed
For pounding hearts and frantic eyes
How much can one body take -
The concrete shoes the hungry lake
Doctors we have called in here
Should really have been engineers

Chitter chatter, paint brush spatter
All touch tongues and pass it on

Telling half truths and open lies
Leave me half blind and paralysed
Going half way to somewhere else
We're building up a new home

Telling half truths and open lies
Leave me half blind and paralysed
Going half way to somewhere else
We're building up a new home

'Planes are loaded, engines race
The 'chutes are packed though just in case
Tail to tail now down the road
The cargo moves by lorry load
At the quayside through the night
The boats block out the harbour lights

Chitter chatter, paint brush spatter
All touch tongues and pass it on
Telling half truths and open lies
Leave me half blind and paralysed
Going half way to somewhere else
We're building up a new home - New Home : Shriekback
