Radiohead -from "Knives Out"


"If you'd been a dog, they would have drowned you at birth"


eek

and that's just one of the many quotable radiohead lines!!


nod

that's a good one, but I have to go with:

"ambition make you look pretty ugly; kickin, squealing, gucci little piggy!"

the place in the song, the ferocity in his voice, FUCKIN BRILLIANT!

My favorite line from a song ever is in Steely Dan's immortal "Deacon Blues":

My back to the wall, a victim of laughing chance
This is to me, the essence of true romance


The perfect union of idealism and jadedness.


nod Along with this one:

"The have a name for the winners in the world...I want a name when I lose."


It's a superb song. It works on so many levels. One of the few pop tracks to fully realize the essence of jazz.

More contenders:

"If you tell me to walk a straight line, I'll put on crooked shoes." -Prince, The Max

"Tennis shoes and caps, now that's phat, up until the day another wanna laugh behind your back, sayin' we all look the same- "God bless America, home of the brave?!"-- I'd rather dress to make a woman stare by puttin' on something that another won't dare. It's a freezer burn compared to cool." -P-muthafuckin-rince.

yay!

I adore that line. So positive and hopeful and one of the main reasons I fell in love with the song in the first place. It really lifts me when I'm down and reminds me that most things in life are transient and so I shouldn't dwell too much on the bad things that happen. smile

I have a few.. i can't pick just one....

-And in your private moments,When all the world is sleep I watch you as you toss and turn And pray my soul you'll keep- Let's go forward (TTD)

-The beautiful Ones always smash the picture- The beautiful Ones (Prince)

-when you're on the outside baby and you can`t get in
i will show you you're so much better than you know
when you're lost and you're alone and you cant get back again
i will find you darling and i will bring you home
- By your Side (Sade)

"I don't know my future after this weekend, and I don't want to"

Cause once upon a time when I was a dancin fool and would hear this song out and about in the clubs it was probably my favoritest song to dance to. Happy, sexy, sublime - by the time she hit this line in the song I was feeling that exact emotion, so caught up in the moment that nothing else matters.

nod nod nod nod nod nod

half way round the globe, I would
be dancing to it to, thinking the
exact same thing.

It made me freak out to the utmost
limit of my abilities. I loved it.

Well, still do but they never play
it anywhere I go no more

There´s so many lines I love, but this is what just keeps sounding better everytime....

"The death of one is a tragedy, the death of millions is just a statistic."

From Marilyn Manson´s The Fight Song. It´s so ironic, but still SO true. Tells a lot about the media in these days. And....it just sounds so damn good. wink
