Best line or two of lyrics ever....

I used to treat you like a lady
Now you're a substitute teacher

Mother Love Bone - Chloe Dancer / Crown of Thorns


Quick to judge,
Quick to anger,
Slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice
And fear walk hand in hand.

Rush - Witch Hunt

"She was built for speed
with the tools she needs
to make a new fool every day"
- Billy Joe Shaver

Watch out where the huskies go,
and don't you eat that yellow snow

Frank Zappa "Don't Eat The Yellow Snow"

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

Ain't it funny how the time slips away
'Cause now I'm leavin' and I wish I could stay

quote:

I have always loved this line, but it's kinda scary too.

A few of my favorites, might be pretty obscure:

quote:

---

You think you're gonna take her away,
With your money and your cocaine

---

-Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers "Listen to Her Heart"
I've seen him live twice and both times he opened his show with this song/line

quote:

---

Made a wish upon a star,
That I could have a brand new car.
Got tired of wishin', so I stole one

---

-Confederate Railroad "Jesus & Mama"


also,

quote:

---

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky,
But why, why, why can't it be, can't it be mine?

is one of my all time favorites- great song, great lyric, great timing, and the expression in Vedder's voice is amazing!

This hotel bed don't fit
But I guess I gotta lie in it
Cuz I made it on the day I split
Now I want to come home

The devil made me do it the first time, the second time I did it on my own.

here are a few that have been on my mind recently (finally broke down and gave turnpike troubadours a shot)

Well, that old scene is always comin to me
I see you standin with your husband and your child
And you’re a picture of strength, and grace and beauty
And me I’m just a fool in a super market aisle
7&7

And is it time I should be moving
Is it time I settle down
Will I sit still or will I feel the wheels a spinning round
diamonds & gasoline

I had good intentions 'til I had too many, I was stupid I suppose
You better put a little money where your mouth is boy and try to keep it closed
good lord lorrie
