Single Line Of An Mg Song That Just Stands Out

[nag95]

I bought some new clothes

for my debut in the city

and some rope if I fail

[hucklel3erry]

I found her in her room,

wearing a pink bunny suit and

sour cherry lipstick hanging from her closet door

[Cowboy]

"Baby, there ain't enough room in this world

For perfections like you and monsters like me."

[Prometheon]

"i have a psychic and she says i'm lonely

she says inside of me is turning out all wrong"

Here's an interesting topic for discussion: A lot of Matt Good songs repeat the same general theme of the lyrics, but change some things. This can be seen in SWW, Bright End of Nowhere, a Long ay Down, etc.

 

So which do you prefer?

 

I've got a psychic, she says I'm lonely, she says my destiny is turning out all wrong

 

I've got a psychic, she says I'm lonely, she says inside of me is turning out all wrong

 

SO now I just sit and think of meaningless things to say

 

So now I just sit and think of meaningful things to say.

 

Personally, I like the destiny and meaningful lines the best.

[rebellious_L]

i'm the opposite, i prefer "inside of me" and "meaningless."

[Instant-Karma]

seeing as how both

"If I roast marshmellows over their bodies do you think god will still fine their souls?"

 

and

 

"I used to think I'd get over everything, but everything just got over me"

 

have already been taken I'll go with my 3rd faverout...

 

"RADIOBOMB! the sound of freeeedom!"

[JJEC]

"I wake up in the same room put on the same cloths and run through the same excusses that never work, and out side your door there is a light that don't shine no more maybe it just never worked"

[Shiri]

There're a lot of great lines. Some of my favorites are:

 

"and if anybody asks you if it ever made me crazy

just say I thought it was boring to be sane"

 

"Must have lost my mind

When I lost your heart key

On my way out"

 

"I used to think I was invinsible, besides you I'd crumble"

[shenanigans87]

"used to think i'd get over everything, but everything just got over me."

Yes! That line has always stood out to me as well.

 

Some others:

 

"You should wait around because your body's bound to turn up." or "I close my month now and I scream."

"You know they put a man on the moon simply to prove that we all need some place to go where we're not known."

"When you drift off to wake up, do you always hit the brakes?" or "Backwards, into a wall of fire." (just a cool little visual)

[rumpleteazer17]

you could sell the sad the world tonight, and they would take it and they would ruin you

 

it's more than the less you say you do

[Prometheon]

There're a lot of great lines. Some of my favorites are:

 

"and if anybody asks you if it ever made me crazy

just say I thought it was boring to be sane"

 

"Must have lost my mind

When I lost your heart key

On my way out"

 

"I used to think I was invinsible, besides you I'd crumble"

A girl after my own heart...

 

Go Fly Blind is sooo amazing.

[Shiri]

Yeah, I was listening to it like 10 times on repeat the other day.

[Euphony76]

"do you ever get the feeling there ain't no hole when you're not around?"

 

"How can you love Jove Drusilla and forsake Rome?"

 

"I tried but it failed me like everything that's cool is over my skull"

 

"You could sell the sad the world tonight

And they would take it

And they would ruin you"

[folk singer]

you guys already covered most of my fav's, but here are a couple more:

 

"those missile men with their master plan dont get paid to understand, makes you wonder where we got these shit-eating grins from"

 

"there's a TV in every room and its free, even pay-per-view, its what you'll need if no one's going to visit you...animal"

 

"died in coquitlam, got laid by a golf course that I never went to...well its not a real sport, and I miss new wave, watching you walk away, so go on its ok, cuz baby I got something right, ya baby I got something right, maybe I got one thing right"

 

"Jen I'll bring them to their knees"

 

"she always used to say: life's a dirty business, so just be a prick and do it while the world's awake"

 

"what would you say if we lived on tv, besides all the things they told you to"

 

"what if you could make it so that times werent tough, so when every day when the world woke up there'd only be weather on the news"

 

crap, too many, I have to stop or this will be endless

[icantremember1989]

baby there aint enough room in this world for a great great many things

[AnOceanPearl]

"This world's too old to hate you and too young to give up spring"

 

"Life's a dirty business, so just be a prick and do it while the world's awake"

[Aymee]

"If heaven's for clean people, it's vacant"

[MuttersomeTaxicab]

"Only killers call killing progress."

[matrix]

"Only killers call killing progress."

Agreed, and while we're at it...

 

 

'Far away, black helicopter, they're all I see...'

"Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while."

 

"Life's for the living."

 

"It's amazing what velocity can do when human beings are in season."

[AnOceanPearl]

A couple from Parable:

 

If not a masterpiece than a massacre in disguise

 

Take your whore lips and make me in the image of your perfection

[SOLID GOLD]

"The sky, its stars like fortune, filled me"

 

and

 

"I've a grenade with our names scratched on the side, but that's just love"

 

 

ALSO, i just popped my posting cherry. Ooooh, it feels good.

[MuttersomeTaxicab]

The gun that makes you look nicer in a bad way.

[Guest apsham]

Well I do suppose that round two would be in order:

 

"Someday this place is gonna burn, is your whole life in there waiting?"

"And you give in, and you give out for it. Ain't it so weird? How it makes you a weapon?"

"Until now I was a soldier, until now I dealt in fear"

"And I dance, and I sing, and I'm a monkey in a long line"

"Man I forget which came first, the bad idea or me befallen by not giving a shit."

"You know I'm jealous of how you can just turn them off, those bad ideas that feel so soft. May they never forget you"

[can00k]

"and baby, if i was in demand, you would be mine."
