'I know what to do! I'm gonna fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck you!!'
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane....
Leaving the pillow alone tonight
And I can see for miles
Speak father with all your might
Drive in one last nail
I’d walk right into your hands
From the end of the earth
I’d make one final stand
If you could see what I’m worth
So many. My favorite line is somewhere in whichever song I'm listening to at the moment. But I think this one is the most most powerful. He's laying in bed praying/ thinking/ talking to his dad...hoping for a sign that he can hear him somewhere out there. "I'll wait up in the dark....for you to speak to meee." Still, and forever, it's amazing to listen to Ten...their FIRST album. Amazing. It's better than anyone else can produce in twenty years.
Even though I'm not a huge fan of it as a song (and it's not even really a song, is it? More like spoken word verse with a refrain), "Push Me Pull Me" has some of the great lines in all of the PJ catalog
"Like a cloud dropping rain I'm discarding all thought..."
"I'm like an opening band for the sun..."
"So if there were no angels
Would there be no sinners? [do love the way he intones sin...ners"]
Better stop me before I begin..."
And my favorite:
"If I behave / Can you arrange a spacious hole in the ground? / Somewhere nice / Make it nice..."
Hold me, and make it the truth,...
That when all is lost there will be you.
Cause to the universe I dont mean a thing
And theres just one word that I still believe and its
Love... Love. Love. Love. Love.
"In this cause I too am prepared to die. There is no cause for which I am prepared to kill" -Gandhi
"once divided theres nothing left to subtract
some words when spoken cant be taken back
he walks on his own with thoughts he cant help thinking
futures above but in the past hes slow and sinking
caught a bolt of lightening cursed the day he let it go"
couldnt cut any of the lines hell id put the whole song up but you know the words.

How I want your soul to keep
On and on around the bend
If nothing is everything, I'll have it all

building before it breaks
and
i was the fool because i thought
i thought the world
turns out the world thought me
it's all the other way round
we're upside down
And the young, they can lose hope cause they can't see beyond today,...
The wisdom that the old can't give away
its not in my past to presume love can keep on moving in both directions,
how to be happy and true is the quest were taking on together....
i got memories i got shit..
arms raised in a v and the dead lay in pools of maroon below.....
im gona save you fucker not gona loose you, im feeling cocky and strong cant let you go.
whisper thru a mega phone,
Leaving the pillow alone tonight
And I can see for miles
Speak father with all your might
Drive in one last nail
I’d walk right into your hands
From the end of the earth
I’d make one final stand
If you could see what I’m worth
Is the "over" silent in that??
want to be enlightened"
That's my favorite too
and other one is
Let me know if you find some thing interesting!!
Choosing the shiny ones instead."
A constant reminder to reconsider what's important, the flashy stuff in life is not necessary synonym with most valuable.
"and now he's home, and we're laughing, like we always did my same old, same old friend".
& from Breath
"If I knew where it was, I would take you there. There's. Much. More than THIS!
I get goosebumps every time i hear these sung.
Yeah, I like this one too.
And these couple from MOTH:
"Tidal waves don't beg forgiveness
Crashed, then on their way"
"The rusted signs, left just for me
He was guiding me, love, his own way"
..and perhaps something that is appropriate for the current time:
"Change don't come at once
It's a wave... building before it breaks"
