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
Gets up, lights a cigarette he's grown to hate
Thinking if he can't sleep, how will he ever dream?
Time is short, I have an appointment and you, and you need help. Across the waste of space and fields of air I lie alone at night. Oh please, please think of me here, because I... I am by your side...
Good evening San Diego, I'm Ron Burgundy
And I'm Veronica Corningstone, Tits McGee is off tonight...
...Had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse
Of my innocence... got back my inner sense...
Baby got it, still got it...

isn't it... "I have an appointment at noon, at noon in hell" ?
anyway, mine is pretty much the whole 2nd verse of I got shit.
that is much more than just one line, but for me is one of THE best lines ever written. That's what I think.
"You can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets, oh
Or you can come to terms and realize
You're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense"
The simple beauty of this lyric is how interchangable the two words can be and fit into the song.
"Violins" is along the lines of describing the scene, Alone, Breakfast Table, Young Girl, Violins....
"Violence" can be used to desribe the overall tone/message of the song. Young Girl, abuse.
I dont think you can write lyrics like this with the intent of having the two words react off each other, it just simply happens.

When you see me on the street, yell out "FAVO!!!"

"On my knees to rise and fix my broken soul........again"
Today's favorite is:
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
Thinking if he can't sleep, how will he ever dream?
But his heart don't seem to roam......
Have you ideas on how this life ends?
Checked your hands and studied the lines
Just kinda depends what I am listening to at the time.
Thinking if he can't sleep, how will he ever dream?
But his heart don't seem to roam......
And I'm Veronica Corningstone, Tits McGee is off tonight...

And love,.... What a different life
Had I not found this love with you
isn't it... "I have an appointment at noon, at noon in hell" ?
anyway, mine is pretty much the whole 2nd verse of I got shit.
Everytime I hear I Got Shit it knocks the wind out of me.
One cant seem to have enough....
What more can you say than that?
Took a while for this song to grow on me but I love this line!
Thinking if he can't sleep, how will he ever dream?
But his heart don't seem to roam......
They can buy but cant put on my clothes
Throw down my ace in the hole~~~~~~

What a positive way to think, nah ?
"Young girl, violins....violence" in "Daughter"

if I'm not mistaken, I think that "violins/violence" is a kind of play on words and that's intentional. But tell me if I'm wrong...
No longer overwhelmed & it seems so fucking simple now.
the way they sang it in Seattle in 2000. I just love it.

Too many...
The "violins" in Daughter....
