Best line in a PJ song?

What PJ lyric means the most to you? For me, it would have to be a couple of select lines in Wishlist:

"I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on"
"The Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top"
"I wish I was a messenger, and all the news was good"
"I wish I was an Alien, at home behind the Sun"

What are some of yours?

    i will light the match this mornin', so i won't be alone
    watch as she lies silent, for soon light will be gone
    i will stand arms outstretched, pretend i'm free to roam
    i will make my way, through, one more day in hell...
    I smile, but who am I kidding...

    caught a bolt of lightning. . . cursed the day he let it go. . .

    . . . and if hope could grow from dirt like me. . . it can be done

    let's say knowledge is a tree. . . it's growing up just like me

    reaching in, the sun's fingers clutch the dawn to pass. . .

    Those undecided,........ Needn't have faith to be free
    And those misguided, There was a plan for them to be
    Now you got both sides Claiming killing in Gods name
    But God is nowhere,..... To be found, conveniently

    and my sig. . .

    "I shit and I stink, I'm real join the club"

    I actually use this one in the context of when others are being judgmental. Kinda like a touche to point out that we all have to shit and wipe our ass, so back off.



    "I fight back with my mind, but it never lets me be right"

    I just love that song...one of my favs.


    "darling you'll save me, if you save yourself"

    Just shows that we may all be individuals, but are so closely tied with our loved ones.



    "all the rusted signs we ignore along the way. Choosing the shiney ones instead"

    I use this to keep me humble amd to appreciate the little things in this world.


    and my all time fav...


    "If I only then, what I know now"

    that exact thought has entered my mind a thousand times
    So shines a good deed in such a weary world
