... When dark touches your skull baby ...


... if you don't know yourself, how could you ever know me.
But to have and to hold you, yeah that's the way its gotta be... (at first listening i heard "that's the way you are to me" which i think would be just fine as well.)

....you'll be right here forever. we'll go thru this thing together
and on heaven's golden shore we'll lay our heads ....


just from the top of my head.

a kitten on fire, a baby in a blender?

Quotethe fact that my heart's beatin is all the proof you need


oh i really like that one
Oh I'll never say I knew you, but my heart can't wait to meet you on the other side

The Drake


TheBri-Man

It ain't Evil baby, if it ain't hurtin anybody



However, I'll agree with someone above and say that for a high school senior quote...it's gotta be, "Anytime's a good time to move on!"

wakebord

there's so many wonderful ones...but "the fact that my heart's beatin' is all the proof you need" nails me every time.  god its so good.

MMJ_fanatic

Mine is self evident.  Nuff said
Sittin' here with me and mine.  All wrapped up in a bottle of wine.

This is a great thread...There's alot of nuggets of lyrical gold scattered around in their catalogue but one off the top of my head off Evil Urges is:

"When God gave us mirrors/He had no idea..."  I love that line.

wordlesschorus

Oh and the opening to Golden is a classic.."Watching the stretch of road/miles of light explode"

Clarkwork

Pick any line from Steam Engine, or this one:

all your days I wish you blindness
from all the evils in the world


I really like that line right now.
If you don't know for yourself, how could you ever know for me....

blucas

soft and warm all the time, make you want it over and over

soft and warm all the time make you want it over and over

pawpaw

Well, I know this is more than one line, more than one song even, but these are some of my favorites:

"The time is near,
To come forward with whatever killed your spark.
There's still time, for you,
To change your mind or whatever
Else you do."

"but that's when my knife rises,
their life ends and my life starts again!"

"Campin out all night... slow moves in the light...
Of all the things that you've seen...
Was the motorcycle so warm you sang melody?"
"I'm able to sing because I'm able to fly, son. You heard me right..."

axround3r

"Wish you blindness from all the evils in the world..."

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

... if you don't know yourself, how could you ever know me.
But to have and to hold you, yeah that's the way its gotta be. < good1

Their lyrical catalogue really has so many great ones
...not as much as the dead but still...

"Its just a really fast risky ride at a fair."

"time i dont think i waste, it just seems to disappear"

tomEisenbraun

it's just a really fast, risky ride at the fair...

something poignant in that one. In all honesty, I think "If It Smashes Down" might be one the most important songs on At Dawn...
The river is moving. The blackbird must be flying.

JacketGal

Kick ass thread~

Just a few - I agree with many already posted here too. 'specially the Steam Engine quotes:

"The time is near, to come forward with whatever killed your spark"

"Who could see and not believe? The heart that beats the wavelength"

"He'll be the water if you'll be the wine sent down from heaven in this earthly disguise"

"Always startin' over but somehow I always know where to begin"
But seein you feels good, and its always understood.
That anything much sweeter would make me die.

Grateful Chabo

so for the past im digging a grave so big it could swallow up the sea...


you'll be right here forever, we'll go through these things together and on heavens golden shores we'll lay our heads...


i know theres someone who loves up above that wants 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...
"Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul."

axround3r

AGAIN Awesome thread

lets see if i can pull some more outa my sleeve after all im listening to them now


"I will sing to you just dont make it last any longer than it has to"

"It wasnt until i woke up that i can hold down a joke a job or a dream then again they are all one in the same"

alright thats all i got idk how many of these are suitable for a yearbook hah but every line of every song is perfecto


MickeyReds

Take off those glasses and let down your hair for me.
As long as you keep a straight face...

For anyone wondering, I ended up going with "The fact that my heart's beating is all the proof you need"






and then "lay low, let the fetus rock" credited to cap'n goodies...
