Right now I love Wayne Coyne (Flaming Lips) and his straight forward lyrics, especially in Do You Realize?

But right now my favorite few lines in a song by Wayne is from Sunship Balloons:

"Now listen
I don't know the dimensions of outer space
But if our ability to feel love turns out to be just a comsic accident
I'd like to think this means that the universe is on our side


I don't know how far a man can go till he finds a way"

    'Hurt' in general.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Yes that song rocks. I really love the live version. I saw 2 NIN concerts this past year. Rochester was a real treat because Trent played it himself on piano, solo.....nothing else, just him on piano. He also played it in Saratoga with him on piano and Aaron North on ACOUSTIC guitar. Live version is so awesome. I also like Something I Can Never Have live in Saratoga too.

    Do You Realize?-ah, great lyrics indeed...

    In my recent growing love of REM I've been noticing little gems of lines here and there-my current favorite is from "It's the End of the World" :

    "Offer me solutions
    offer me alternatives
    and I decline"

    Its tagged on the end of the second verse/torrent of words...Stipe delivers them in such a great way live
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    Some die just to live.

    Elliot Smith has some amazing lyrics, here is some from a song called Pitseleh

    i'm not what's missing from your life now
    i could never be the puzzle pieces
    they say that god makes problems
    just to see what you can stand
    before you do as the devil pleases
    and give up the thing you love
    but no one deserves it

    the first time i saw you i knew it would never last
    i'm not half what i wish i was
    i'm so angry
    i don't think it'll ever pass
    and i was bad news for you just because
    i never meant to hurt you

    Covered with hope
    and vasoline.
    Still cannot fix
    this broken machine.


    Clutch it like a cornerstone,
    otherwise it all comes down.
    Justify denials, and
    grip 'em to the lonesome end.

    "Everybody's got a secret, sonny,
    Something that they just can't face,
    Some folks spend their whole lives trying to keep it,
    They carry it with them every step that they take.
    Till some day they just cut it loose
    Cut it loose or let it drag 'em down,
    Where no one asks any questions,
    or looks too long in your face,
    In the darkness on the edge of town.

    Some folks are born into a good life,
    Other folks get it anyway, anyhow,
    I lost my money and I lost my wife,
    Them things don't seem to matter much to me now.
    Tonight I'll be on that hill 'cause I can't stop,
    I'll be on that hill with everything I got,
    Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost,
    I'll be there on time and I'll pay the cost,
    For wanting things that can only be found
    In the darkness on the edge of town."
    It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win

    NIN are touring in the spring in Europe and England. They will probably be around the US again around winter. Which is amazing because there has been only a 6 month break for Trent. He satrted the With Teeth tour in the Fall of 2005 and ended it in the end of summer of 06. Thats almost a full year tour for a person who use to have a hard time touring for 6 months. I'm so glad he is clean now, he's also a fun guy to chat with.


    Another song I am stuck on now is Talking Heads:

    "Drugs (Electricity)"

    And all I see is little dots
    Some are smeared and some are spots
    Feels like a murder but that's alright
    Somebody said there's too much light
    Pull down the shade and it's alright
    It'll be over in a minute or two.

    I'm charged up...Don't put me down
    Don't feel like talking...Don't mess around
    I feel mean...I feel O.K.
    I'm charged up...Electricity

    The boys are making a big mess
    This makes the girls all start to laugh
    I don't know what they're talking about
    The boys are worried, the girls are shocked
    They pick the sound and let it drop
    Nobody know what they're talking about

    I'm charged up...I'm kinda wooden
    I'm barely moving...I study motion
    I study myself...I fooled myself
    I'm charged up...It's pretty intense.
    I'm charged up...Don't put me down
    Don't feel like talking...Don't mess around
    I feel mean...I feel O.K.
    I'm charged up...Electricity.


    Yes a don't shit where you eat my friend........thats such a great song by Ween. I like "I Don't Want It" better though because of the solo though. Ween was so great live, Deaner played a 20 minute solo for Pandy Fackler and Captian because Geaners foot was broken. THey still played for 3 and a half hours though. They also called it the hottest venue they have ever played.....everyone was drenched in sweat. I had some crazy tripping btich all over me all night though. She would bite my shoulder and poke my face, I let it go because her boy friend was apologizing and shit. It was definently a fun night.

    Well, I woke up this morning, I got myself a beer
    Well, I woke up this morning, and I got myself a beer
    The future's uncertain, and the end is always near

    I've always liked this one. :)

    When I was a child I had a fever
    My hands felt just like two balloons
    Now I've got that feeling once again
    I can't explain you would not understand
    This is not how I am
    I have become Uncomfortably numb
    NOPE!!!

    His feet are dirty,And his face, his face is long
    And while he's peeking out
    Through his hair he hides the pain
    Til that Lennon song comes along
    He'll turn it off and say can you drive
    Jimmy we need to borrow this for a minute
    Cause we need to escape

    Now theres so many things that he's gonna do
    In 5 lifetimes hell I couldnt do em all



    Yeah and while he's rolling his own smokes
    He says to me he's buying a new ride today
    A classic deal the boss will give
    He said the same thing two weeks ago

    You've seen that sweaty jet rag feeling come over him
    And I've seen that boy knod into a dream a time or two
    And on his way out hisglazed stare will make you stop and wonder
    Hey William is that the last time I'm gonna look at you
    But then the next day the phone will ring
    And it will be him
    Can you drive

    Jimmy what would you say
    What would you do
    Oh should I pray
    Or do you think that this blind mind would listen to me....anyway
    Oh dear dad
    Can you see me now
    I am myself
    Like you somehow
    I'll ride the wave
    Where it takes me
    I'll hold the pain
    Release me

    Summer nights and long warm days
    Are stolen as the old moon falls
    My mirror shows another face
    Another place to hide it all
    Another place to hide it all
    And Im lost, behind
    The words Ill never find
    And Im left behind
    As seasons roll on by

    Sleeping with a full moon blanket
    Sand and feathers for my head
    Dreams have never been the answer
    And dreams have never made my bed
    Dreams have never made my bed

    And Im lost, behind
    The words Ill never find
    And Im left behind
    As seasons roll on by

    Now I wanna fly above the storm
    But you cant grow feathers in the rain
    And the naked floor is cold as hell
    This naked floor reminds me
    Oh the naked floor reminds me

    And Im lost, behind
    Words Ill never find
    And Im left behind
    As seasons roll on by

    If I should be short on words
    And long on things to say
    Could you crawl into my world
    And take me worlds away
    Should I be beside myself
    And not even stay

    And Im lost, behind
    Words Ill never find
    And Im left behind
    As seasons roll on by

    Apart from PJ, my favourite lines come from 'Murder of One' by Counting Crows

    'There's a bird that nests inside you,
    Sleeping underneath your skin
    When you open up your wings to speak
    I wish you'd let me in'

    'Desire Lines' by Eden Burning

    'Like my favourite clothes,
    I'm slow to take you off,
    I'm quick to reach for you
    In the first light'

    And the entirety of 'The Piano Has Been Drinking' by Tom Waits

    just beautiful. whatever cornell does to further disillusion me with audioslave or further bond soundtracks (:)) this song gives him a clean slate every time I hear it.

    Congratulations PJOceans11!! I wondered if someone would "correct" me! :D

    Fact is UNcomfortably Numb is not a typo or misunderstanding of the lyric but a deliberate small change on my part. Pink Floyd wrote the perfect theme song for my life. Word perfect. Just need to add that little UN. Sure they won't mind. :D

    I've Always LOVED:

    So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
    blue skies from pain.
    Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?
    Do you think you can tell?

    And did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts?
    Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?
    Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange
    a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

    How I wish, how I wish you were here.
    We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,
    year after year,
    running over the same old ground. What have we found?
    The same old fears,
    wish you were here.
    So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream
    Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
