Killer Lines

Not a favourite lines ever list cos fuck that effort, just some gr8 lines that have been popping my head recently, loosely ranked

Ah but I was so much older then / I'm younger than that now
5Modest Mouse
The Lonesome Crowded West


So I'll go to college and I'll learn some big words / and I'll talk real loud, goddamn right I'll be heard / you'll remember that guy who said all those big words he musta learned in college
6The Smiths
Meat Is Murder


It was dark as I drove the point home / and on cold leather seats, well it suddenly struck me / I just might die with a smile on my face after all
7Thursday
War All the Time


One day we'll be complete like modern saints / baptise our kids in gasoline / and hang our doubts up in cathedrals so that they turn to faith in the coloured sunlight
8The National
Boxer


You were always weird but I never had to hold you by the edges like I do now

They never get uptight when a moth gets crushed / unless a lightbulb really loved him very much
10Jimmy Eat World

11mewithoutYou
Brother, Sister


And if she comes circling back, we'll end where we begun / like two pennies on the train track the train crushed into one
12Belle and Sebastian
The Boy With the Arab Strap


You're constantly updating your hit parade of your ten biggest wanks
13Modest Mouse
Building Nothing Out of Something


I'm the same as I was when I was six years old / and oh my god I feel so damn old, I don't really feel anything
14Kendrick Lamar
Section.80


When I lie on my back and look at the ceiling, it's so appealing to pray / I wonder if I'm just a villain dealing my morals away / some people look at my face, then tell me don't worry bout it / I give 'em back they deposit, no money, just total silence
15Leonard Cohen
Various Positions


Dance me to the children who are asking to be born / dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
16Pink Floyd

Ashes and diamonds / foe and friend / we were all equal in the end
17The Sound of Animals Fighting
Lover, the Lord Has Left Us...


Flesh is heretic / my body is a witch / I am burning it
18Crowded House

We are the mirrors / are the mirrors of each other in a lifetime of suspicion / cleansed in a moment of recognition

Wish your drinking would hurry and kill you / sympathy's better than having to tell you the truth
20Thrice
Major/Minor

26Tears for Fears
The Hurting


And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad / the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
27Bob Dylan
Highway 61 Revisited


At midnight all the agents, and the superhuman crew / go out to round up everyone that knows more than they do (just because Watchmen)
28Simon and Garfunkel
Bridge Over Troubled Water


...and cut him 'til he cried out, in his anger and his shame / “I am leaving I am leaving but the fighter still remains”
29Pink Floyd
Wish You Were Here


Did they get you to trade / your heroes for ghosts?

Out of Time


I skipped the part about love / it seemed so shallow, and low
31Have a Nice Life
Deathconsciousness


Jesus Christ why is love so lonely
32Blur
Modern Life Is Rubbish


Practice doesn't make perfect when it's interbreeding / speaking drivel can it be confused with heavy breathing?

39Jeff Buckley
Grace


It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter / It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever
40The Smiths

Let me get my hands / on your mammary glands
41Nas
Illmatic


I switched my motto; instead of saying "fuck tomorrow" / that buck that bought a bottle could've struck the lotto (for my man Key)

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea


And when we break, we'll wait for our miracle / God is a place you will wait for the rest of your life

Let Love In


There's a man in the theatre with girlish eyes / who's holding my childhood to ransom / on the screen there's a death, there's a rustle of cloth / and a sickly voice calling me handsome
44Elliott Smith
From a Basement on the Hill


Veins full of disappearing ink / vomiting in your kitchen sink
