I like that Mike, makes me laugh! I could probably post on this thread forever, but here is one of my favorites:
Thrice-All That's Left
"One day the dreamers died within us
When all our answers never came
We hid the truth beneath our skin but
Our shadows never looked the same
A ghost is all that's left
Of everything we swore we never would forget
We tried to bleed the sickness
But we drained our hearts instead
We are, we are the dead"
:blush2:
This is my all time favorite pick-up line:
"Have a little faith, there's magic in the night.
You ain't a beauty, but hey, you're all right.
And that's all right with me. "
-- Bruce Springsteen, Thunder Road
"I might have been born just plain white trash but "fancy" was my name"
Bobbie Gentry
that´s my favourite quote:
the love is near to clear the road
cause this thing is ready to flow
rihanna:fire bomb
My favourite is:
Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms
Theres so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
Now the suns gone to hell
And the moons riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But its written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
Were fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
from "The Sensual World" by Kate Bush
And how we'd wished to live in the sensual world
You don't need words--just one kiss, then another
from "Democracy" by Leonard Cohen
It's coming through a hole in the air,
from those nights in Tiananmen Square.
It's coming from the feel
that this ain't exactly real,
or it's real, but it ain't exactly there.
From the wars against disorder,
from the sirens night and day,
from the fires of the homeless,
from the ashes of the gay:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
It's coming through a crack in the wall;
on a visionary flood of alcohol;
from the staggering account
of the Sermon on the Mount
which I don't pretend to understand at all.
It's coming from the silence
on the dock of the bay,
from the brave, the bold, the battered
heart of Chevrolet:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
And too many others.
"He not busy being born is busy dying"

Rainbows and pots of gold;
So much to prove before we got old." - Stereophonics, Rainbows and Pots of Gold

Too brittle to evolve." - Willy Mason, Live it Up

Well, I know it's kind of late
I hope I didn't wake you
But what I got to say can't wait I know you'd understand
Ev'ry time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you in a song

"Noises on the radio, megaphones on cars
Sermons from the street of shame, know-it-alls in bars

Don't worry! Nobody can win!
No matter who you vote for the government always gets in!"

And held its breath too long.

The **** has hit the fan.
