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

    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"

    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.....

    i simply love when in "given to fly" he sings: "sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky, a human beign that was given to fly" it gives me chills every time i hear it!
    "And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
    A human being that was given to fly"

    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
