your favorite mmj lyric?

[aintlifegrand4134]

one of mine is

"There will be bigotry and there will be open minds.
There will be days of peace you'll
never have the time."

[wakebord]

"the fact that my heart's beatin' is all the proof you need"  and "put in more than you could ever get out" are tied.

[danz]

as for me i do believe that good luck comes from trying
so until i get mine i'll work the whole day through

[buster douglas]

things i could say to myself
i could never say to anyone else
what madonna said really helped
she said boy, you better learn
to express
yourseeeeelllfffff

[capt. scotty]

Walkin past the carpet mills, looking in and takin stills,
your ass it draws me in like a Bermuda highway

[xmascriminal]

Don't let your silly dreams
Fall in between
The crack of the bed and the wall

Runners up:

I need a human right by my side untied

Then I saw a new heaven, formed in the bleeding light of dusk
All souls, all faiths: always, we were one

Sometimes I wanna lay down babe
Sometimes I wanna stand up and fight
Sometimes it runs its course in a day
Sometimes it goes for night after night

And, of course, all of Where to Begin.

[dragonboy]

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.

[AMightyCaporal]

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.

for the win

Honestly, I fell in love with MMJ long before I got a strong sense of the lyrics.  The overall sound, the feeling of their music, was not necessarily bolstered by a clear understanding of what JJ was actually saying.

I was frustrated in my attempts to find accurate lyrics, when all along most were available on this site!  As I expand my repetoire of MMJ covers on my Omnichords (another story), I've gotted a better understanding of the words, or a greater confusion.  

Being home sick these past few days, I've looked over the lyrics I have and found five lines that stood out for various reasons.  I think, from these choices, you'll regard me as a hopelessly horny guy with a sense of humor.  In no particular order...

oh! this feeling it is wonderful! don't you ever turn it off!

a good showerhead and my right hand – the two best lovers that I ever had.

I can tell by the sounds you make
When you are pleased, you see yourself in me

ahhhhhh ahhahh ahhhhh ahhahh ahhhhhahh ahhh ahh ahhhh ahh (aka Wordless Chorus)

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

By the way, this is made harder by the fact that I decided not to replicate any lyrics already cited in previous posts.  My compliments to all of you for your fine choices.  Peace.

There will be bigotry and there will be open minds.
There will be days of peace you'll never have the time.
AS LONG AS YOU KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE,
I will be there when you die.

[Shakeykneez]

There are far too many incredible and moving lyrics but two that stick out are:

People always told me
that bars are dark and lonely
and talk is often cheap and filled with air
sure somtimes they thrill me
but nothing could ever chill me
like the way they make the time just disappear

And a close second;

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

[ALady]

Honestly, I fell in love with MMJ long before I got a strong sense of the lyrics.  

Oh, I agree.  The first lyric to jump out at me was this:

if it falls apart or makes us millionaires

but lately it's this:

do you live your life on the run?
losing out on loving
asking for nothing
running from something that isn't there

[slimsloslider]

i always loved the line:

"don't ever lose any of your god-given charm"

its just the sweetest way of telling someone that they're perfect the way they are

[rusty95]

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.
I'm in love with this soul, it's a meaning that I understand.

Good choice!  

[buymycar]

The lyrics that I've found to be most profound lately are:

On and on and on I drive
When will I know I have finally arrived?
So far I've gone, so far to go
It never ends
Always startin' over but somehow I always know where to begin

[tdb810]

God damn those shaky knees.....

[tdb810]

also "is there still a lock on your back door?"   ::) ::)

[Don Dante]

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?
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.

[AJ Green]

a kitten on fire, a baby in a blender both sound as sweet as a night of surrender.
