Mine:

"I was raised by a toothless bearded hag"

Only the Stones could have said it in a song :)

[Goldmund]

1. "I want a short haired girl...

He must be running for office, got no time to lose

[Momgonepostal]

3. Laurie Anderson, "Sharkey's Day"

Sun's coming up.

[flamingyouth]

4. I'm living somewhere in a new dimension

I'm leaving everyone so far behind
Don't waste any time, girl,
Step inside my mind
I'm five years ahead of my time.

- The Third Bardo

[Lori Price CLG]

5. Pink Floyd, from "The Final Cut"

The whole CD is great, but from "Two Suns In The Sunset", this line:

the wire that holds the cork
that keeps the anger in
gives way
and suddenly it's day again

Roger Waters
"Two Suns In The Sunset"

6. Mine's obvious to anyone who's familiar with me.

"Puff that magic dragon - he seized his fearless roar. His head was hung in sorrow, green scales fell like rain. Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane. Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave, so Puff that mighty dragon, sadly slipped into his cave." - One of the saddest songs ever.

That and
"Went the wrong way into juarez, with wanita on my lap." - Wanted man

10. "She takes me down to the basement to look at her slides...

of her family life, pretty weird at times
at the age of ten she looked like Greta Garbo
and i loved her then, but how was she to know that."

19. Speaking of Lloyd Cole

Did you ever have a bad dream, wake up and it not stop
Did you ever feel for a girl for a time and then stop
Well, it's written there in blue
With a heart and an arrow through
Her name on you
Her name on you
Her name on you
Jennifer in blue

[No2W2004]

11. Eclipse by Pink Floyd

All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel.
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save.
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy,
Beg, borrow or steal.
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say.
All that you eat
And everyone you meet
All that you slight
And everyone you fight.
All that is now
All that is gone
All that’s to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

[Fenris]

12. "If a double-decker bus.."

"Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-tonne truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine."

[Zorra]

13. Ripple

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung,
Would you hear my voice come thru the music,
Would you hold it near as it were your own?

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken,
Perhaps they're better left unsung.
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air.

Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty,
If your cup is full may it be again,
Let it be known there is a fountain,
That was not made by the hands of men.

There is a road, no simple highway,
Between the dawn and the dark of night,
And if you go no one may follow,
That path is for your steps alone.

Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.

if you should choose, to lead must follow
But if you fall you fall alone,
If you should stand, then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way, I would take you home.

Lyrics by Robert Hunter
From American Beauty/Grateful Dead

16. fiona apple

Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace and mind
But if it is not asking too much
Please send me someone to love, someone to love

Show the world how to get along
And peace will enter, when hate is gone
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Please send me someone to love

I lie awake nights, and ponder a world of trouble
And my answer is always the same
That unless man put an end to this damnable sin
Hate will put the world beyond flame...what a shame

Just because I'm...in misery
I don't beg for no sympathy
But if it is not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Please send me someone to love

Just because I'm...in misery
I don't beg for no sympathy
But if it is not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Please send me someone to love

i don't believe she wrote it though.. don't feel like digging for my cd.

17. To a world where madness craves

To a world where hope's enslaves
Oh I'll tremble for my love always

18. Dweller on the Threshold

I’m a dweller on the threshold
And I’m waiting at the door
And I’m standing in the darkness
I don’t want to wait no more

I have seen without perceiving
I have been another man
Let me pierce the realm of glamour
So I know just what I am

I’m a dweller on the threshold
And I’m waiting at the door
And I’m standing in the darkness
I don’t want to wait no more

Feel the angel of the present
In the mighty crystal fire
Lite me up and soothe my darkness
Let me travel even higher

I’m a dweller on the threshold
And I’m waiting at the door
And I’m standing in the darkness
I don’t want to wait no more

I’m a dweller on the doorstep
As I cross the burning ground
Let me go down to the water
Watch the great illusion drown

I’m a dweller on the threshold
And I’m waiting at the door
And I’m standing in the darkness
I don’t want to wait no more

I’m gonna turn and face the music
The music of the spirit
Lift me up and soothe my darkness
Where the midnight disappears

I’m a dweller on the threshold
And I’m waiting at the door
And I’m standing in the darkness
I don’t want to wait no more
I will walk out of the darkness
And I’ll walk into the light
And I’ll sing the song of ages
And the dawn will end the night

I’m a dweller on the threshold
And I’m waiting at the door
And I’m standing in the darkness
I don’t want to wait no more

I’m a dweller on the threshold
And I cross the burning ground
And I’ll go down to the water
Let the great illusion drown

I’m a dweller on the threshold
And I’m waiting at the door
And I’m standing in the darkness
I don’t want to wait no more


I’m a dweller on the threshold
Dweller on the threshold
I’m a dweller on the threshold
I’m a dweller on the threshold

Van Morrison/Hugh Murphy

And so for Her...

The breeze stank of sunset and camphor

My lantern chased Her phantom and blew

Their Chapel ablaze and all locked in to a pain

Best reserved for judgement that their bible construed...
