rise... you can't be neutral, on a movin train... ~Down
...but first he was stripped and then he was stabbed by faceless men, well fuckers, he still stands... ~Given To Fly
"You can't be neutral on a moving train" isn't a Pearl Jam line; it's the name of one of Howard Zinn's books. The song 'Down' was inspired by him, he and the band are friends.
"he floated back down cause he wanted to share
his key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere...
and he still gives his love, he just gives it away;
the love he recieves is the love that is saved
and sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
a human being that was given to fly..."
or
"and if hope could grow from dirt like me
it can be done
won't let the light escape from me
won't let the darkness swallow me"
and then again there's always this
"so i'll just lie alone and wait for the dream
where i'm not ugly and your lookin' at me
and i stare you back
oh blue eyes, i've seen it
if just once i could feel love
oh stare back at me"
And I wished for so long cannot stay All the precious moments cannot stay Its not like wings have fallen
cannot stay But still somethings missing I cannot say yea Holding hands are daughters and sons And their faiths are falling down down down down I have wished for so long How I wish for you today
"Take a bottle drink it down...pass it around" (Thank's Victoria)
"I wish i was the pedal breaks that you depended on"
"I'll swallow my words to keep from lying...I'll swallow my fists just to keep from fighting" (What an amazing song...McCready has said its the hardest song they play)
And the young, they can lose hope cause they can't see beyond today...
The wisdom that the old can't give away
Hey...
Constant recoil... Sometimes life...don't leave you alone.
Is something wrong, she said
Well of course there is
You're still alive, she said
Oh, and do I deserve to be
Is that the question
And if so...if so...who answers...who answers...
I know it's more of a verse than a phrase or line, but it speaks volumes.
"once divided...nothing left to subtract...some words when spoken...can't be taken back..." nothingman
"i was the fool because i thought, i thought the world, turns out the world thought me" cropduster
"i swallow my words to keep from lying, i swallow my fist just to keep from biting... biting, biting, i swallowed my breath and went deep, i was diving, diving, i surfaced when all of my being was enlightened, now...i'm, i'm in hiding, yeah" in hiding
"little secrets tremors...turned to quake...the smallest oceans still get...big, big waves..." tremor christ
"love is a tower, of strength to me, i am the shoreline, but you're the sea" you are

"Someone tried to tell me something/Don't let the world bring you down/Nothing will do me in before I do myself/So save it for your own and the ones you can help" blow up the outside world, soundgarden
I was crying from my eye teeth and bleeding from my soul/And I sharpened my wits on a dead man's skull/I built an elevator from his bones/Had to climb to the top floor just to stamp out the coals" mind riot, soundgarden
there are way too many good ones...that's what i'm thinking of now though
most romantic image i can imagine, although unfortunately i wasn't smart enough to write down that i actually imagined it quite a few years ago.. luckily i have a photograph that reflects much of the same..

if just once i could feel love
oh stare back at me, yeah..

2nd: Sometimes you see a strange spot in the sky of a human being that was given to fly.
3rd: No matter how cold the winter, there's a spring time ahead.
4th: The north is to south what the clock is to time (because it's poetic and it doesn't make sense)

dedications naive and true
with no power, and nothing to do
I still remember, why don't you?"

Triumphant are the angels if they can get there first."

They can buy but can't put on my clothes."

Don't call me daughter. Not fit to... the picture kept will remind me.
He's a poet and not a lyricist - like Jim Morrison.

Oh, and this is my 1st post.
"I don't wanna take what you can't give - I would rather starve than eat your bread"
"Can't buy what I want because it's free"
"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star...in somebaody else's sky, but why (etc..)"
And for some reason lately I'm hooked on Who You Are - I love "there's a little time before we leave"
Sssooo many great lines...
