Favorite MMJ lyric

[confuseddonkey]

this may well have already been touched upon.....but I'm kind of a noob here, soooooooooo, here goes



there will be bigotry
and there will be open minds
there will be days of peace
youll never have the time
as long as you keep a straight face
i will be there when you die

[Ghosts_on_TV]

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

[BH]

brain melts in the twiliiiiiiiiiggght!

[Jon T.]

There are obviously countless that could go here depending on the mood.  But the one that always sticks out to me...

I will not crumble.

It's amazing how powerful these four little words are.

[LET_THE_FETUS_ROCK]

Just like the heart you break of a love babe
Just like the hand you take of a friend

[JacketGal]

You all picked lyrics that I've immersed myself in... :D

A few that I love....I couldn't pick just one.

"so love dawg cant ye see that you only gotta dance with me"
"you're the criminal that never breaks the law"
"but I know there's someone that loves up above and want to fix you a dream."
"but my heart cant wait to meet you on the other side."

[cantrell-r]

"Deep in my heart, that's where the knot comes loose."

"You won't feel a thing." (last line from Strangulation!)--it is touching, the way the last verse goes

"All your days I wish you blindness from all the evil in the world."

The entire chorus of Hopefully

"A BITCH TO SUCK YOUR NUTS!"

[evilPaauwe]

whyyyyyy does my miiiiiiiiind blow to biiiiitttts

[dhollensbe]

"So far I've come, So far to go, it never ends..."

and

"GOD DAMN THOSE SHAKY KNEES"

and

"MONEY, dont do a thing for me, im happy now, thats how i be...."

[BH]

Good luck comes from tryin'

[brkndwnbus]

always startin' over, but somehow I always know where to begin.

I know the soul needs wine and kindness.

[cantrell-r]

I forgot to inlcude these earlier.  I think it says something about Jim's songwriting when it is so difficult to nail down favorite lyrics.  He's very creative, and sensitive I think.

"You always told me, no matter how long it holds me, if it falls apart or makes us millionaires; you'd be right here forever, we'd go through this thing together and on heaven's golden shore we'll all lay."

"You had me worried, worried that this would last, but now I'm learning, learning it will pass."


Those are phenomenal.

There's too many!!!  The first is by far my favourite.  And yes, I did get lazy and copy and paste from the main site.

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

"RELIGION - SHOULD APPEAL TO THE HEARTS OF THE YOUNG.
WHO ARE YOU? WHAT HAVE YOU BECOME?"

"your skin looks good in moonlight
and god damn those shaky knees"

"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."

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

[the jenerator]

"talk is often cheap and filled with air"
"we are the innovators, they are the imitators"

[mmj37]

Here are a couple of my favorites:

"But what Madonna said really helped -
she said: "Boy, you better learn to express yourself!""


"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."

Oh, and every lyric in Steam Engine.

[sweatboard]

"Oh, and every lyric in Steam Engine."

ditto

[frenchy]

does it shiver? always deliver? does it know me in the dark?

[mmj37]

does it shiver? always deliver? does it know me in the dark?

ehem...
"does it shiver? always deliver? does it know me at all?"

[Sherpa]

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

[megisnotreal]

oh shit, run!
