What is PJ's greatest lyric??

bgivens33bgivens33 Posts: 290
Inspired by the black thread... when I think of the greatest line-

"I know one day you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star, but in somebody else's sky, but why, can't it by mine?"

That is what comes to mind.

Any other great one liners?

    i will hold the candle till it burns up my arm
    i'll keep takin' punches until their will grows tired
    i will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
    hey i won't change direction, and i won't change my mind

    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 cannot forgive yourself, oh
    Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense
  • McShadeMcShade Posts: 156
    I agree with all of the above. Not only those specific lines but from beginning to end, great lyrics on all of them.

    One of my fav lyrics is from footsteps, especially:
    "Don't even think about getting inside. Voices in my head. Oh, voices.
    I got scratches all over my arms. One for each day since I fell apart"
    and
    "And if there's something you'd like to do, just let me continue to blame you"

    definetely that one;)


    I have to say I can't really answer this one very well without writing a damned thesis on it but my very very favs.. are..:

    Where's Mike McCready, my GOD he's been ATE
    and
    I am the shore line, but you are the sea..the sea.. "
    I have to admit that is by far one of the most beautiful lyrics since some of Pink Floyd's no contest.. PJ wins again.. that's saying alot because in my world of music... LONG before PJ was PF. So.....

    ''walk the bridges before u burn them down..''marker in the sand

    ''so i'll just lie alone and wait for the dream..that i'm not ugly and you're looking at me.."..i got shit

    "If hope can grow from dirt like me, it can be done"...down

    ''it's no crime to escape..''all those yesterdays

    ''i wish iwas as fortunate as me..''wishlist

    i agree with the ''black'',''present tense'',indifference'' lyrics but....

    i'll guess it never stops..
    so much great lyrics..
    don't forget that we are the luckiest fans in the world....
    keep on pjing.........

    Tried to walk, found a severed hand
    Recognized it by the wedding band
    Said it's ok, do you want some more?
    I said, yeah
    Said You'll see dragons after 3 or 4
    I said, yeah


    Like a tear in all we know
    Once dissolved we are free to grow
    What is human, what is more?
    I'll answer this when I get home
    they call them fingers, but i never see them fing. oh, there they go

    ALL of "light years"!!! what an amazing self-conversation.

    i'm also very fond of "off he goes" ('....seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned')

    "parting ways" - '....standing like a statue....a chin of stone, a heart of clay'

    "untitled" (from live on 2 legs) is so, so passionate

    "save u" is amazing ('...go ahead & let urself fall, i'm right below ya now')

    "corduroy" ('...i dont wanna hear from those who know, they can buy but cant put on my clothes....')

    its really endless!

    A snippet of Dirty Frank was referenced earlier. I must admit, not everyone can write a song like that. That's it. That's the one, gruesome, and yet good to dance to all at the same time:D

    "Will myself to find a home, a home within myself
    We will find a way, we will find our place..."

    "Sometimes I know, sometimes I rise
    Sometimes I fall, sometimes I don't
    Sometimes I cringe, sometimes I live
    Sometimes I walk, sometimes I kneel
    Sometimes I speak of nothing at all
    Sometimes I reach to myself, dear god"

    And of course, probably one of the greatest lines in any song:

    ""I will feel alive... as long as I am free...""

    i'll ride the wave where it takes me,
    ]i'lll hold the pain, release me.

    i'll wait up in the dark for you to speak to me,
    i'l open up, release me, RELEASE ME.
    I have faced it, A life wasted...

    Take my hand, my child of love
    Come step inside my tears
    Swim the magic ocean,
    I've been crying all these years

    That line places its finger on the pulse of humanity. To enjoy that line is open admission to having lived that line. It captures love's loss. It's bleeding becomes the ink on the page.

    Timeless and Classic.

    It is the everday Romeo and Juliet.

    Dalai Lama—To say that humility is an essential ingredient in our pursuit of spiritual transformation may seem to be at odds with what I have said about the need for confidence. But there is clearly a distinction to be made between valid confidence or self-esteem, and conceit - which we can describe as an inflated sense of importance, grounded in a false image of self.

    I wish I was the full moon shining off a camaro's hood.
    Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
    And I don't feel right when you're gone away

    My faves (yes a few have been mentioned already)

    "And wherever you've gone
    And wherever we might go
    It don't seem fair
    Today just disappeared
    Your light's reflected now
    Reflected from afar
    We were but stones
    Your light made us stars."

    "Its an art to live with pain
    Makes the light into grey
    Lost nine friends we'll never know
    2 years ago today
    And if our lives became too long
    Would it add to our regret?
    And the young, they can lose hope
    'cause they can't see beyond today.
    The wisdom that the old can't give away."

    "What went wrong?
    Walking tightrope high
    Over moral ground
    Seeing visions of
    falling up somehow.
    Do come down
    With the living let
    What is living love
    So unforgiving yet
    needing forgiveness first.
    God, what do you say?"

    "Everyone is practicing
    But, this world's an accident.
    I was a 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 like big weeds...with big leaves
    Stealing light from what's beneath
    Where they have more
    Still they have more"

    "Oh dear Dad,
    Can you see me now?
    I am myself
    Like you, somehow.
    I'll wait up in the dark
    For you to speak to me
    I'll open up.
    Release me"

    "I don't want to think, I want to feel
    How can I feel?"
    I love my female wife...
    we sit around and wonder exactly why our marriage should feel threatened by gay marriage
