I really like the following line in Rico.....

If your friends don't like it you can tell them for me to fuck off, Fuck off, Fuck Off, FUCK OFF!!!

 

I just wanna say that to people sometimes (the fuck off repeatedly part that is).

 

& also the following from She's Got a New Disguise...

 

what will it cost to buy you back,to buy your eyes, to buy your smile. Well she wants to be the same, she wants a new name,she wants a new disguise.

Here's some of my fav's that I don't think have been mentioned too much yet.

"the bus ride to meet you here took me half my life"

"You know I'm jealous of how you can turn them off, those bad ideas that feel so soft"

"You know whenever you ask there's never a good time"

"And baby there ain't enough room in this world, for perfections like you, and monsters like me"

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

"looking for defects, talking like it's a reflex"

"Theres a Tv in Heaven

And its Free even Pay Per View

Its what you need if noones gonna visit you

Animals, fucking animals"

I always thought it was 'there's a TV in every room'

It is definitely "there's a tv in every room".

 

And, from that song: "it's amazing what velocity can do when human beings are in season"

 

"then again a little bit of love you know, it could have done a lot"

"A little bit of thunder carries a long long way"

"Heads are thicker, so when you open your mouth you better think twice quicker"

"These days the good guys wear black"

well because of my name the line "Jenn I'll bring them to their knees" obviously sends shivers down my spine.

 

"When finished struggling, are free tonight? Did they stick you in here cause you won't working right?" from 'Boy and his machine gun' are such brilliant lyrics and just ones that I can relate to so much.

ha. While school was in I would sit in class listening to matt and write lines that caught my attention on the cover of my note books here are a couple!

 

 

"One Foot In front of the Other"

"K-I-C-K-A-S-S, Thats the way we spell Success"

 

This isnt from a song but its an intro:

"How are you supposed to pick up chics if you gotta look at what your doin?"

 

"theres heart and then there's hate if one of them is inside of you then the other one it aint!"

"I thought I was a cowboy"

"another day of getting up to fight"

"A deer in your headlights so gun it"

"Pink pills are for your sanity"

"when shes beside you your not so dead"

"I used to think id get over everything but everything just got over me"

"I walk alone I ride alone and you know, thats alright by me"

"some things they come, All things they go"

"I dreamed I was a pigeon slipping through the heavens like a 747 everyone left down below"

"your death will sell you out as someone smart"

"most have lost my mnd when I lost your heart key on my way out"

"I found me a reason, to check me tomorrow we'll see if im leaking"

"the voices say hello"

"shoot me with your raygun"

"theres an IV keeping time beside my bed"

"I long to be dead sleep with the fishes under the sea"

"they'll be no light tonight if im fated

"I neve rsleep I just watch TV and the gun it lies next to me whispering"

"Well I'll speak slowly if your on something and faster if your not"

"Kill what you cannot change"

"best to stay sleeping"

 

I know I might of gone on for a while but hey!!! they are all gold they all deserve equality.

Not sure if this has already been said...

 

The best in my opinion is from Big City Life:

 

"Throw off your blues and use your red and whites"

 

Between:

 

A) The fact he never really cared about success in the US

B) Never getting great success in the US

C) His dislike of Bush and the US government

D) Anything else I may have missed

 

I don't think there's any other line that tops this one being his best.

"well she got married and she had kids

and they fear sex and not the bomb"

 

"make me your product and i will make you rich"

 

"What you don't know won't kill you"

 

"Fuck them if they can't take a joke"

 

 

This is my absolute favourite Matthew Good lyric:

 

"I've fallen asleep again

And when I wake up you won't be here

Don't you think I don't know?

I've been asleep for years"

Yeah so it's a little bit more than a single line, but you get the idea.

 

you say it's gonna rain tomorrow

I heard that in heaven the sky is waterless

they say it's gonna rain tomorrow

and I am umbrellaless

 

you say that there is nothing I can do about it

you say that looking for love is like digging in the dirt

stop and think about what you are doing to me

because it hurts

 

this is it this is life and it doesn't get any better

I figured that one out the moment that I met her

but I fail to see what's so easy about letting go

so if you can tell me you let me know
