    'Don't even think about reaching me...I won't be home.
    Don't even think about stopping by...don't think of me at all.
    I did what I had to do...
    If there was a reason, it was you.
    Don't even think about getting inside...
    Voices in my head...
    I got scratches all over my arms...
    One for each day since I fell apart.'
    --Footsteps

    'The waiting drove me mad...you're finally here and I'm a mess.'
    --Corduroy

    'Hail, hail the lucky ones...I refer to those in love.'
    --Hail,Hail

    'If I only knew now what I knew then.'
    --I'm Open

    'She said to me...over the phone,
    she wanted to see other people.
    I thought, "Well then...look around, they're everywhere."
    Said that she was confused...
    I thought, "Darlin' join the club."
    24 years old, mid-life crisis...
    nowadays hits you when you're young.
    At least it happened quick.
    I swear I died inside that night.'
    --I'm Still Here

    'I pledge my grievance to the flag,
    'cause you don't give blood then take it back again...
    I will feel alive as long as I am free!'
    --Grievance

    'I'd tell a story, but no-one would listen that long...
    It's hard to imagine...so hard to imagine.
    Things were different then...all is different now...
    I tried to explain, somehow.'
    --Hard To Imagine

    I think that's enough for now...don't wanna monopolize a wonderful thread...:D

    "And now my bitter hands
    Chafe beneath the clouds
    Of what was everything
    Oh the pictures have
    All been washed in black
    Tattooed everything
    I take a walk outside
    I'm surrounded by
    Some kids at play
    I can feel their laughter
    So why do I sear
    Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin
    Round my head
    I'm spinning
    Oh, I'm spinning
    How quick the sun can, drop away...
    And now my bitter hands
    Cradle broken glass
    Of what was everything
    All the pictures had
    All been washed in black
    Tattooed everything
    All the love gone bad
    Turned my world to black
    Tattooed all I see
    All that I am
    All I'll be... " (black)


    "And fuck me if I say something you don't wanna hear
    And fuck if you only hear what you wanna hear
    Fuck me if I care,... but I'm not leaving here
    You helped me when I was down,... I'll help when you're down
    Why are you hitting yourself,... c'mon hit me instead
    Let's pick up your will,... it's grown fat and lazy
    I'm sympathetic as well,... don't go on me now " (save you)
    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

    one of my favourites:


    lives opened and trashed...look ma, watch me crash
    no time to question...why'd nothing last
    grasp and hold on...we're dyin' fast
    soon be over...and I will relent
    let the ocean swell, dissolve 'way my past
    three days, and maybe longer
    won't even know I've left
    Dear God, save me from your followers

    Avocados have a big Stone

    I'm always struck anew when I hear this after a while:

    So gather around
    and say what the day brings
    See what makes you laugh
    see what makes you sing

    Eternally 'shouting out' to old schoolers Lisa, Michelle, Julie, Chewdog and Sarah and thanking PJ for the opportunity to know them.

    The one that really touches me "First he was stripped then he was stabbed by faceless men well fuckers, HE STILL STANDS 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"

    ya i like that one too but i dont know why but i also like when eddie says " im a thief im a liar theres my chuch i sing in the choir"

    If not for the Buzzcocks, we'd probably sound like Good Charlotte or something. No, no, it's not bad, it just sounds like... tastes like a popsicle that's been shoved up someone's ass.-Eddie

    Waiting, watching the clock
    It's four o'clock
    It's got to stop... tell that mother fucker to get away and stay.. OK?

    i love you ladies!!
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    there are so many so i'd thought i'd go with something recent :)


    light green to green, dark green, brown
    every life is falling down
    brown to black, its coming back
    dies to be part of the ground
    seed to seedling, root to stem
    eyes, no eyes, there's no difference
    every life is looking in
    swallowing seeds on my death bed
    dig a hole in the garden


    that's a good one

    A few of my current favorites:

    'The waiting drove me mad...you're finally here and I'm a mess.'--Corduroy

    'I guess there's nothing wrong with what you say...
    but don't sell me there can't be better ways...
    Tell the captain this boat's not safe and we're drowning...
    turns out he's the one making waves.'--Green Disease

    'It's not absurd to all get heard...
    Put our feelings into words...
    You have to reach inside...
    No feelings to hide.'--Happy When I'm Crying

    my favorite of all time is in my signature...

    i got scratches, all over my arms
    one for each day, since i fell apart
    i did...oh, what i had to do, if there was a reason, it was you
    footsteps in the hall, it was you, you...oh...

    i see a girl in the night with a baby in her hands
    under an old street light, oh, near a garbage can
    now she put her kid away, she's gone to get a hit
    she hates her life, and what she's done with it
    that's one more kid, that'll never go to school
    never get to fall in love, never get to be cool

    I just love how it starts after the first chorus. Just awesome.
    "This town deserves a better class of criminal... and I'm gonna give it to them."
