Favorite MMJ Lyric???

[MMJ_fanatic]

Went back a few pages and didn't see this topic here so thought I'd ask (even if I am repeating a thread :))
SO WHAT'S YER FAV MMJ LYRIC?

My personal choice for top choice to date is:

"Your ass, it draws me in like a Bermuda highway"

mmmm mmmm good lyric--testify y'all!

[SMc55]

I think we have had this before, but it was a while ago. What the hey, let's go for it  :D

1. Tell me I'm wrong, tell me I'm right, tell me there's nobody else in the world.

2. Why's it so great just to wake every day alive, and by your side?

3. Oh shit, run!

I think we have had this before, but it was a while ago.

ok, I got really motivated and looked at all 18 pages of topics in The Music heading and could not find one with this title--maybe under another heading (or maybe I had an original idea wheeee!)  whichever, I still like taking lyrics! ;)

[EC]

"Don't let your silly dreams fall in between the crack of the bed and the wall"

(and from the same song - it seems to be popular)

"Two times I fell asleep in a dirty basement, snoozing in the cobwebs and the cement."

"All your life is obscene.  Forget the papers, forget your musical dreams."

"As long as you keep a straight face I will be there when you die."

"And you always told me no matter how long it holds me - if it falls apart or makes us millonaires - you'll be right here forever, go thru this thing together and on heaven's golden shore we'll lay our heads."

Hmmm.  I could go on for a while, but those are some of my favourites.  Little snips that pop into my head constantly.

to anyone who wondered
what old jebus meant to me
take him out to go diving
in red patoka sea
the brain melts in the twilight
with the boar and moving trees
your skin looks good in moonlight
and god damn those shaky knees
the fact that my heart's beating
is all the proof you need

Yeah we've had this topic before because I remember someone posting "oh shit run" and I remember posting these lyrics from steam engine.

I also love............

to all the people i've loved... don't think poor of me
it wasn't till I woke up... that I could hold down a joke or a job or a dream
but then all three are one in the same

From AT DAWN....
try to walk this earth an honest man,
but eveil waves at me its ugly hand.
The radar watches me from above, shouting down:
"I hope you make it on this earth."

Jim hits you right in the heart with the lyrics.  He has a very charming and romantic way of putting things.

Not to mention surreal, sometimes. Cool.

Good topic!

"I know somebody, yes I know someone, who likes to wait, likes to wait for the police man to come."

"If you're ready for him, I don't want to see it."

"and wants to fix you a dream. He wants to sit down and think. He wants to pour you a drink. And you won't feel a thing."

"Why does my mind blow to bits every time they play that song?"

"All the leather kids were loud."

"My mother held me, like a motorcycle, so warm."

And probably many more...

That is my fav as well.

I also like:

"So love,dawg,can't ya see,that you only gotta dance with me"
"That's when my knife rises,their life ends and my life,starts again"
"All alone at the end of the day,really tired it's time to hit the hay"
"So are you ready to go,my lady,I been waitin' on the boat here,I been waitin' so long"
"Devils and Demons are coming"

[SMc55]

"So are you ready to go,my lady,I been waitin' on the boat here,I been waitin' so long"

Oh yeah, that's a goodie.

[EC]

Heh.  Reading through all these lyrics, my brain feels like it's listening to one loopy, mixed up, "Best of" song.  

[marktwain]

EC took all of mine, i think.

Except maybe:

i asked where you go'd,
and you said where you went:
he took you to movies and carnival tents.
bought you big houses and payed all the rent.
and i'm playin it over and over again in my head.
oh but Los Angeles ain't that far,
& the rest of the girls said they'd be there, by my car.

[sweatboard]

Nice one tundra.  I'll go ahead and add the first part because I think this is one of my favorite songs Jim has written.  If I do a song for the tribute album it will be this one.

you said, evan, is comin over again. and i said, if he does, i'll
kick his head IN. i've known you for years, i know all your moves, i just
cant believe that it caved in this soon. and i'm playin it over and over
again in my head.

"I don't want to feel a thing"
but I know there's someone that loves up above
and want to fix you a dream.
He wants to sit down and think.
He wants to pour you a drink.
And you wont feel a thing. You wont feel a thing.

[JacketGal]

Great Thread...some of you have said these but I agree on:

Why does my mind blow to bits every time they play that song?
It's just the way that he sings, not the words that he says, or the band.
Im in love with this soul, it's a meaning that I understand.

 "can he see me? does he feel me? does he know me at all?"

2o times i wish you'd understand, that you're breakin the
heart of this heartbreakin man.

and you always told me. no matter how long it holds me if it falls apart or makes us millonaires. you'll be right here forever. we'll go thru this thing together
and on heaven's golden shore we'll lay our heads

Hey! The Christmas curtain falls on lawbreakers

so love dawg cant ye see that you only gotta dance with me.

 Cause nothing gets you high, you're poor the day you die,

[Oz]

This one still tears me apart:

"And if all else fails
I'll come running back
Wondering where you went
With my heart"

And then there's this one, just because the word 'televisor' rocks:

"Always leave your televisor on
Always give your answers by the phone"

[Oz]

"I don't want to feel a thing"
but I know there's someone that loves up above
and want to fix you a dream.
He wants to sit down and think.
He wants to pour you a drink.
And you wont feel a thing. You wont feel a thing.

Ah, yes, I forgot about that one. Damn, I really should give those albums a spin again really soon!
