For me it differs from day to day but the ones tht stick the most are the folliwng lines..

From Crazy Mary is the line: no L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G allowed.. and " But her hands flew from her side, wild eyed, Crazy Mary."

From Dirty Frank ( and thgis can be annoying when stuck in the confines of my mind) is the line" That Dirty Frank is a bad mother.. Shut your mouth, hey man I'm just talkinbg about Dirty Frank" and " Now the little groupie's getting chopped up inthe back"

and from Evenflow: "Whispering hands gently lead him away." "looking through the paper though he doesn't know to read it."

From Daughter: "The shades go down"
and "She holds the hand, that holds her down.. she will rise above."

From Given to Fly: " He made it to the the ocean ( and I love the Boston show 3, where Ed sings this).. Smoked a joint i a tree.."

And but far from least
From Why Go " Why go home??? don't come visit.. mother.."

there are tons more, but these get stuck the most often of times..

I just today got the chance for the first time in over 12 years to be a Ten club member.. yay!!! took me long enough to get back!

    ALL DAY today I had "AND I LISTEN FOR THE VOICE INSIDE MY HEAD.. NOTHING! I'LL DO THIS ONE MYSELF!".

    I finally had to listen to SOLAT before I went out :D
    Abraham Lincoln once said, "If you are a racist, I will attack you with the North."

    I had SOLAT stuck in me head the whole last four hours clening this house today.. I took me MNP3 player to work ( and yes out of the 13 cds I fit into the 2G I was allowed to download there are 10 that are Pearl jam, all 8 studio albums and both dics of Lost Dogs. I Got to SOLAT and started singing it out loud and the owner of the house ( whom is normally gone while we all clean), asked if I was a lifer . I was like huh? til he explained that a music lifer is a fan that has followed the band in question ( fer us two He and I, it was PJ) from the very beginning . I was like hell yeah since they were Mookie.. and he just smiled and took me into the music room/recording stuido, and let me listen to his recordings of him playing all sorts of PJ songs!!! He even busted out an accordian and played Bugs fer me!! which soooooo made my day, but made the other two girls mad cause they were each stuck with their heads in dirty toilets. My sister finally got sick of it and tells me the next PHJ fan's house that we clean, you're not allowed to brig ikn the MP3 player.. I guess we were in there jamming fer like twenty minutes.. oops. Anyhow he promised that by next Friday he would try to record him and his friends doing " You Are" ( which is mne very favorite of PJ's song, out ranking Life Wasted by a mere fraction and that new Guaranteed song, by just a small amount too, what beautiful lyrics to that song..None the less I can't wait to hear that cover..

    Hear my name
    Take a good look
    This could be the day
    Hold my hand
    Lie beside me
    I just need to say
    What can I take?
    I just want to be
    I know that i would not ever touch you
    Hold you
    Feel you
    Ever hold
    Never again

    "We were but stones, your light made us stars"

    Always gets stuck in my head because it's one of my all time favorite songs and the above line is tattooed on my arm.

    "What the fuck is this world..."

    "How much difference does it make"

    "I know you'll be a star, in somebody else's sky, but why why can't it be mine?"

    "I know that I was born and I know that Ill die. The in between is mine."

    and of course "Where's Mike McCready? My god, he's been ate!"

    "Society have mercy on me. I hope you're not angry if I disagree.Society crazy indeed. Hope you're not lonely without me."

    This is one of my new favorite songs. Ever since the first time I heard it, it's been stuck in my head daily. I feel it's such a moving and thought-inducing song.

    Spectacular!

    She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man...
    She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...

    &

    Whatever the notion we laced in our prayers
    The man upstairs is used to all of this noise
    I'm through with screaming....

    And I ALWAYS have the opening chords to Corduroy bouncing around in my head..... :)
    Another habit says it's in love with you
    Another habit says its long overdue
    Another habit like an unwanted friend
    I'm so happy with my righteous self

    For the last, oh about 5 years:

    "I-HI... Whoa oh, I'm still alive, yay-ey-ah-ey-I-hi... "

    When it's not that, it's usually one of these:

    "And now my bitter hands shake beneath the clouds of what was everything..."

    "The waiting drove me mad... you're finally here and I'm a mess"

    "If just once I could feel love... oh, stare back at me, yeah..."

    "Gonna rise up, find my direction magnetically... Gonna rise up, throw down my ace in the hole"

    "Gone... long gone... this time I am letting go of it all... ... Oh, If nothing is everything... yeah, if nothing is everything then I will have it all."
    "You are everything, and everything is you. Me, you... you, me -- it's all related."

    two sets of lines come to mind the most...

    from red mosquito:
    red man's your neighbor, call it behavior
    while you're climbing up slippery hills
    two steps ahead of him, punctures in your neck
    hovering just above your bed



    from given to fly:
    he floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
    his key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
    but first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
    by faceless men, well, fuckers
    he still stands

    and he still gives his love, he just gives it away
    the love he receives is the love that is saved
    and sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
    a human being that was given to fly

    I won't change direction...Perfect lefts come rolling in...
    All together now...
