"Oh but my heart can't wait to meet you on the other side"

[miss gradenko]

"Religion should appeal to the hearts of the young".

I always read the forum and have never created an account but when I saw this discussion I could sit back no longer. The Way That He Sings  is definitely in my top three and the lyrics to that song are amazing but each of these songs are beautiful.

"HOLD UP – YOU SHOWED ME. OH WHAT YOU TOLD ME – IT'S NOT WHAT YOU WANT BUT WHAT YOU NEED IT'S NOT
A HEAD FULL OF PILLS OR AMPHETAMINES"

"Kumbaya my lord
come row your boat ashore
the rivers long
it is cold
it chills the body but not the soul oh"

"it's not the dream
that makes you weak
it's not the night that makes you sleep"

"it's not the beast. it's not the sheets
so soft and warm. all over me"

this is what makes this board is awesome: although i like lay low, i never got into it enough to analyze the lyrics, so after seeing this post, my interest got sparked and i read them all while listening and realized how even more amazing this song is.

Danz, people ask me all the time what my favorite MMJ song is and I think it is has to be Lay Low. The first couple of minutes remind me of some of the earlier stuff, it's a pretty, warm song until Jim cuts in and then the song rocks the shit out of whatever speakers it's being played on.  And it's awesome on the album or live.

^your friend

[jahabe08]

i know the soul needs wine and kindness
i know the eye needs lots of fun
i know these things will come to see you
to prove it's true i'll tell everyone

or

With the sun on my shoulders
With the wind at my back
I will never get older
At least not in my mind

[ynwa]

a chance
a glance
sho 'nuff mood for romancin
so low down, can't you see, that you only gotta dance with me

don't let your silly dreams
fall inbetween
the crack of the bed and the wall

still feel i'm getting ill
chills
down my spine


your brain melts in the twilight
the foreign lookin trees
your skin looks good in moonlight
god damn those shaky knees
the fact that my heart's beating is all the proof you need

and ironically:

it's the way that he sings
not the words that he says or the band
i'm in love with his soul
it's the meaning that i understand

that's as far down i could narrow it.  i'm sure i could list a whole bunch of others tomorrow.

[October]

all of the lyrics from the following songs:

steam engine
strangulation
old sept blues
the bear
i will be there
dondante

[TyeDyeGuy]

Don't "rock bottom," just listen.
Just slow down

[danz]

if you don't know yourself, how could you ever know me

[FiddleCastro]

First some honorable mentions :) :

Why does my mind blow to bits every time they play that song?
---
Religion should appeal to the hearts of the young
---
"all your life is obscene!"
"forget the papers, forget your musical dreams!"
but that's when my knife rises,
their life ends and my life starts again!
---

And my favorites (tied):

and you always told me.
no matter how long it holds me if it falls apart
or makes us millonaires.
---
the fact that my heart's beating
is all the proof you need

[shananana]

SOOO hard to narrow it down, but here it goes.  My top 3.

3. Chancing, glancing, sho nuff mood for romancing
so love dawg cant ye see that you only gotta dance with me.

2. Just Believe And You Can Do.
You Know My Heart - It Beats For You.

1. How do you take him speaking so much?
How do you live without a lover's touch?

[sweatboard]

"Then I saw a new heaven
formed in the bleeding light of dusk
all souls, all faiths
Always we were one."

[Penny Lane]

I can't pick 1 or 2 lines from this song, but am partial to its entirety...it's art

I've got a masterplan babe, I been workin on it from the start.
Pluggin in all of the numbers, watchin it on all of the charts.
Just cause it starts off slow babe, doesn't mean it don't have a heart.
You'll be walkin round showin off someday
and it'll take you right back to the start.
It's everything that you want babe.
It's everything that you need.
Soft and warm all the time, make you want it over and over.
Strong on the horizon, but ends up bein really so sweet... oh so sweet.
Sometimes I wanna lay down babe.
Sometimes I wanna stand up and fight.
Sometimes it runs it's course in a day. Sometimes it goes for night after night.
Know that it will start off strong babe, and it will end up weak in the end.
Just like the heart you break of a love babe, just like the hand you take of a friend.
It's everything that you want babe.
It's everything that you need.
Soft and warm all the time, make you want it over and over.
Strong on the horizon, but ends up bein really so sweet... oh so sweet...
