Favorite Lyrics...

Recommended Posts

I don't know if it's been posted or not. I tried to search the board to see if it has but no luck.

 

Just wondering what everyone's favorite lyrics in Matt's songs?

 

Lost out on this highway the passing cars, they blind me

because I would be there if I was a better man (Hopeless)

 

Never turn your back on me again (Weapon)

 

Everyone's a captain baby, ship of fools (Near Fantastica)

 

She takes her clothes off for the Japanese

I take my clothes off whenever it suits me (Flashdance II)

 

No one gets out of this (Anti-pop)

 

Like Satan/Lonely/So I'm with him (Born to Kill)

 

If your friends don't like it/You can tell them for me to/

Fuck off, fuck off, fuck off, fuck off (Rico)

 

Those are some of my favorite. There's more, but I can't think right now.

What's yours?

If everyone's a casualty

Then take your time there ain't no trouble

If the weather's fine and we're feeling crazy

There's always drinks and dancing in the rubble

I'm spinning and you're spinning

And the world's spinning and we're laughing

And I'm charming, the devil's charming

And we're ruined but we're building

And I'm selling and you're counting

The world's stopping but we keep going

And we're ruthless and we're cunning

And I'm heir to it all

 

 

 

Also: The pink pills are for your sanity

 

And: A Robot heart for a robot boy

who dreamed he was a lion

Our lives in these empty spaces aside

And we're ruthless and we're cunning

And I'm heir to it all

Love it.

 

And pretty much all of The Rat Who Would Be King.

Perhaps we are most peaceful when our sanity's on edge -Push

 

Love ain't something i remember, trust ain't something i afford no one, lately i remember to forget -Can't get shot in the back

 

Jen, I'll bring them to their knees -Truffle Pigs (very last line, lyric book says Damn instead of Jen but if you listen really close you'll hear Jen in the last line).

 

Cheers.

Well, it makes sense. He's like telling his wife that he'll bring them to their knees. I've always thought that he's taking about his former band mates for MGB in that song. I've also think that he's taking about them in Weapon when he says 'Never turn your back on me'.

That's right. He's gotta put his personal feelings into his politics right.

 

 

Here's another favorite lyric...

 

 

Drugs for the kids if the kids are flat.
