What's your favorite MMJ lyric?

[suebeeboo]

soooooo many to ponder......
"it's everything that you want babe
it's everything that you need......soft & warm all the time, make you want it over &over"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO how could anyone say it better

[Jernigan]

How about all of Steam Engine.

[dragonboy]

Great thread! So many to choose from...
'It's the art of feeling naked in your clothes' is def a fav & quickly springs to mind but right now I'm going to have to go with 'Who can count the time I'm beating, with my hands'...destroys me every time!

[megisnotreal]

"It's not the way that you look, but your move that catches my eye."

"The fact that my heart's beating is all the proof you need."

"We forgot aboout love, but we're broken-hearted."

"Oh shit, run!"

[ycartrob]

How about lyricS?

It's a bad idea, cause they're down on their luck and they've lost touch with their bleeding hearts.

TAKE ME OUT of this dead-end nightmare.

I belong to a race of robots

I was born in east Kentucky, home of where the grass is dyed

Trapped in gasoline, a lizard on a string, no one ever screams any more.

Devils and demons are comin...

Why's it surreal when my hands feel they cant roll the dice?

Sometimes I walk around town looking at faces
wonderin why their bodies go to silly places.

Oh, don't carve me out! Don't let your silly dreams,
fall in between the crack of the bed and the wall.

strangulation
I don't wanna feel a thing.
When your hands close tight around my neck,
and force the air that I breathe.
I don't wanna feel a thing.
Yes she was a young girl.
Bout the age of 23.
but somehow the lord never smiled down upon her,
so she flew out on a breeze.
Said: "I don't wanna feel a thing, I don't want to feel a thing."
Sure he was a good kid. But his phone it'd never ring.
He got tired of walkin a tightrope,
needin too much to drink.
So he got on a knee.
"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.

[sweatboard]

it's not the way that you look........it's the mood that catches my eye.

[Chills]

Lots of good ones already mentioned.
But I still love this one

FISSURE IS THE THRILL OF THE DAY - FORGET ABOUT FEELING - THAT'S NOT WHAT PAYS.
BUT YOU KNOW - ALL OF THIS CAN CHANGE. REMEMBER THE PROMISE AS A KID YOU MADE.

[Ghosts_on_TV]

it's not the way that you look........it's the mood that catches my eye.

I always thought that it was..."It's your move that catches my eye"?

[red]

"there ain't nothing glowin like this skin you're showin and the keys you gave to me"

"I wont ask you where you're goin.
I wont ask you where you been.
I know after a million times you get sick of all my lines,
but I just wanna see you safe again."

[ali]

people always told me
that bars are dark and lonely
and talk is often cheap and filled with air
sure sometimes they thrill me
but nothin' could ever chill me.
like the way they make the time just disappear
feelin' you are here again. hot on my skin again. feelin good a thing i'd never known before
what does it mean to feel? millions of dreams come real
a feelin' in my soul i'd never felt before

and

in my blood there's gasoline
for an urban boy on a dirty tour I never felt so clean
loaded questions in an automatic world

[TEO]

We'll go thru this thing together,
and on heaven's golden shore we'll lay our heads.  

[BH]

brain melts in the twiliiiiiiiiggght.......

[tdan]

brain melts in the twiliiiiiiiiggght.......

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

also

"forget the papers, forget your musical dreams!"
but that's when my knife rises,
their life ends and my life starts again!

[Mr. T.]

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

Best Lines Ever

serious!

[ChiefOKONO]

too many to choose but here is my favorite right now:

To All your days i wish you blindness
from all the evils in the world...

[marktwain]

Damn, so many good ones already listed,  but here are a few more:

you said, evan, is comin over again. and i said, if he does, i'll
kick his head IN.

I wont ask you where you're goin.
I wont ask you where you been.
I know after a million times you get sick of all my lines,
but I just wanna see you safe again.
Hopefully it occurs to me that there's one thing I cant stand.
That's the thought of a single day, without your head in my hand.

Why's it so soft when the cannons unload on the others?
Why're we so loud when we say it wont happen to us?

[MMJ_fanatic]

This has got to be the most popular topic on the BB--Riny how many times you figure this one's come through the board?  2 of mine are pretty obvious under my avitar and on the sig line...  ;).  Also ya gotta love "that face in the mirror, who could it be?  T'was my own" from Where to Begin.

[megisnotreal]

Best Lines Ever

serious!

Come on, we all you that you think that THESE are actually the best lines ever...

I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone for much too long
Oh, I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind
I've been looking back to find where I went wrong

Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover and the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster 'cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you every time

 ;)
