Anyway, some of my favorite lyrics...

Everything is possible with
a lot of luck,
a pretty face,
and some time to waste.

I quit, I give up, nothings good enough for anybody else.
-Edie Brickell

Stay in touch with my insanity
Really is the only way
It's a jungle out there kiddies
Have a very fruitful day

The Buffet "Stay in touch with my insanity...." quote is good, as is "Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum and we ended up drinking all night," also a Buffet quote.

[XO_Princess]

"But oh, are you experienced? Tell me, have you ever been experienced? Well, I have.."-Jimi Hendrix

"I know what you're thinking, man your heart is sinking, your car's going up in flames. And it's driving you crazy, just thinking that maybe, someone like me is to blame"..-Jack Ingram, "Mustang Burn"

thats all I can think of right now

[SigmaChiCard]

"And you read your Emily Dickinson,
And I my Robert Frost,
And we note our place with bookmarkers
That measure what we've lost.
Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of rhythm,
Couplets out of rhyme,
In syncopated time
And The Dangling Conversation
And the superficial sighs
Are the borders of our lives" - Simon & Garfunkle "Dangling Conversation"
(this whole song is filled with great lines)

"And the Moonlight Beams
On the Girl of My Dreams
She's the SweatHeart of Sigma Chi"

"Whenever the head is severed
from the human body with a sharp enough weapon
the brain remains conscious for 10 seconds
long enough for me to give you one last message
and when you get to Hell,
you can tell Lucifer I said it" - Canibus

"I've got divine chromosomes in me
My sperm will scramble the eggs in a woman's ovaries" - Canibus

" 'Stop all this weeping, swallow your pride
You will not die, it's not poison' "
-and-
"The Commander-in-Chief answers him while chasing a fly
Saying, 'Death to all those who would whimper and cry'
And dropping a bar bell he points to the sky
Saving, 'The sun's not yellow, it's chicken' " - Bob Dylan "Tombstone Blues"

And The Story of Life, Right Here
"Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift" - Bob Dylan "Subterranean Homesick Blues"

"You'd rather see me paralyzed" - Dylan "Positively 4th Street"

"I'd like to cut your head off so I could weigh it, what do ya say?" - Phish "Weigh"

"I took a moment from my day
wrapped it up in things you say
mailed it off to your address
you'll get it pretty soon I guess"

"And I said, Whatcha lookin' at? He hit me across the face with a bat" O.A.R. ""Crazy Game of Poker"

I'm sorry for boring some of you with how many damn songs I write here, but this is one that if you like funny songs, you MUST get, I have to write nearly all of the song, because I cannot pick a best verse

"Here I am, on my legs
I'm standing, standing here
Under me there is a place
And I'm standing on it
Here I am
And I'll be here forever
Unless I move over here

There I was just a minute ago
But I'm not there now, no
I'm here now, here again
But a different here
An eternal here, and eternal now
And I'm walking, I'm moving
I see you
My eyes are looking
I know you're there
Because at the end of my look you're there
I have eyes in my head
And I love you
When I look at you, you sometimes see me
If you're looking at me
And if you're not looking, then you don't
But I love you, I love you

I love you
I'm all alone
I'm here in my house alone
And I think of you
Lying in my bed
I look over out of the window
I see your face
And I'm frightened
'Cause I live on the eighth floor
You must be really, really tall
You scare me" Corky and the Juice Pigs "REMember"

[Moochagoo]

Sunrise doesn't last all morning
A cloudburst doesn't last all day
Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning
It's not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away

Sunset doesn't last all evening
A mind can blow those clouds away
After all this, my love is up and must be leaving
It's not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
None of life's strings can last
So, I must be on my way
And face another day

Now the darkness only stays the night-time
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good at arriving at the right time
It's not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
All things must pass away

Here are some of my favorite lyrics. I am a big country fan!

What I Really Meant to Say by Cyndy Thompson

It caught me by surprise, when I saw you standing there-
Close enough to touch, breathing the same air.
You ask me how I've been, I guess that's when I smiled and said, "Just fine."
OH, but baby, I was dyin.

What I really meant to say, is I'm dyin here inside-
And I miss you more each day,
There's not a night I haven't cried.
And baby, here's the truth, I am still in love with you.



Love the song- it's so close to home!

[SigmaChiCard]

"I feel home,
when I see the faces that remember my own,
I feel home
when I'm chillin outside with the people I know
I feel home
and that's just what i feel
home to me is reality
and all i ned is something real"
> O.A.R. - I feel home

"You gave me nothing now it's all I've got"
> U2 - With or Without You

"Could Dad be God?"
> DMB - Spoon

"You Make Me come
You Make me complete
You make me completely miserable"
???
(I heard an analysis of this song parralling it to the progression of lust-based relationships...it was pretty interesting...just substitute 'um' for 'ome' for the first 'come'. not trying to be nasty, but I'd venture to say that was their intent)

[KSig RC]

I hear the bass ride out like an ancient mating call, I can't take it y'all - I can feel the city breathing, chest heaving against the flesh of the evening; a sigh before I die, like the last train leaving . . .
-Mos Def

Well, you're pretty good looking, for a girl, but your back is so broken . . .
-the White Stripes

The plaster dented from your fist in hall where your first kiss, reminds you that the memories will fade . . .
-Dashboard Confessional

I ain't never been right if I ain't never been wrong, it seldom works out the way it does in this song - but once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right . . .
-the Grateful Dead

The name of the group that sings that song is LIT. I know because I remember the video has Pamela Anderson eating them at the end of it.

[LeslieAGD]

There's a light in my eyes but it's too bright to see
And a pain in my heart where you used to be
Guess I was wrong to assume that you were waiting here for me
There's a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me
- Blessed Union of Souls ~ Light In Your Eyes


Well one thing I've noticed wherever I wander
Everyone's got a dream he can follow or squander
You can do what you will with the days you are given
I'm tryin' to spend mine on the business of livin'
- Carolyn Arends ~ Seize The Day


She will promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me
- Billy Joel ~ She's Always A Woman


I'm a lover, not a fighter
But I'll crack your teeth
- Missy Elliot ~ Son Of A Gun

[prospectiverushee]

When I wake in the morning
Gets me out of bed
Keeps me running,skipping,jumping
like a little kid

You know sometimes I can hardly
keep it inside
It overtakes me,overwhlems me
and I'm more alive

I did not get it wrong
?????????
and it's ok if they don't always understand
It very easy to get caught in circumstance
It's even easier to break out in a dance

Joy, unspeakable joy
Cause they did not feel it
They can not take it away
Joy, unspeakable joy
In my heart and I can't let them
steal my joy

People ask me why
This super natural high
Seeing only sun
When there's a cloudy sky

I know that trouble tries to surround me
but I've be given something greater deep inside me
--Kim English Unspeakable Joy

[TrojanGirl]

Maybe I am hiding in my own confusion
Maybe we're just a picture in my head
Maybe what if it could be the way I wish it really was?
Maybe I don't want to see it
The way it really is
- "The Way It Really Is" Lisa Loeb


Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
-Walking In Memphis

It shows on her face
What she doesn't say
It says
You don't know me
You don't know me at all.
-" You Don't Know Me" Lisa Loeb

Actually this Lit song is on a "break up" mix my girlfriends and I made. I realized this same progression when I initially heard the song as well. So no needs for disclaimers and whatnot, apparently I have a "nasty" thought process as well. Haha.
