...oh, go on then...

too many to choose, but today-

'The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway is that it's you and that you are standing in the doorway '

mountain goats.


that's a good 'un

mr bones.


Libby's First Sunrise

"The light holds a terrible secret."

Daniel Bejar

song about teenage runaway prostitute kinda thing...it's so bloody tender and gritty and just basically fucking wonderful.


So so so many Blood Brothers lyrics belong here, but for now

"Jane said when she laid on her back, the sun hit her body like an ugly landscape."


That one's good :)

I like the lyrics to 'Green Grass of Tunnel' by múm... they're just so simple and lovely

"Behind these two hills here, there's a pool, and when i'm swimming, green grass of tunnel I shut my eyes'"

I also like 'Step Aside' by Efterklang

"Straps and booze, if I lose, I'll follow you blind"


"Tell J.C. I'm dying in mass

and if it wasn't so cold, I'd swear that this was hell."


I don't want to change your mind...

I don't want to think about your mind. They say love is blind; I don't think you're blind.
Narrow your Eyes by TMBG.


Oh!

And pretty much the whole of Don't be Upset by Jeffry Lewis. He speaka de truth!


Damn straight!

"my baby freaked when she peeked at that 8-legged blob with a beak"

Hee hee hee


good one

"all you ever wanna talk about is yourself, and your comic books and your album and your tour..."


...

It's a common fetish for a doting man
to ballerina on the coffee table cock in hand

The whole song is gold though.


Might get slated for saying this, but anyhoo

Karma Police - Radiohead

"Karma police, arrest this man
He talks in maths
He buzzes like a fridge
He's like a detuned radio

Karma police, arrest this girl
Her Hitler hairdo is
Making me feel ill
And we have crashed her party"


...

Does anyone else think the man described in the first verse of this song is Thom Yorke circa Kid A?


I like simple lyrics at the moment.

"Cars on the highway, planes in the air, everyone else is going somewhere. But I'm going nowhere, getting there soon. I might as well just sit down with you".


Devon Sproule

'Stop by anytime. The room-mates are all doing fine, with summer colds and summer deadlines.'

Just completely bewitching. I can't stop thinking about it at boring points in the day.

There's another ace later in the song;

'If you could come around I could show you down to where the knots of the day untie.'


her words profane, her mouth divine...

i tried to sympathise with both sides
but i was caught, like a fleeting thought
stuck inside of leonard cohen's mind


,,

Men's lives pass like strips of film
Recorded gesture, acts of will
I'd like to think that down through time
They'd compose a logical line
But chances are that's just a pile of shit
