In fourteen months I’ve only smiled once and I didn’t do it consciously.

I know this is almost off-topic, but I've fallen in love with the line from Jakob Dylans new song "Nothing but the whole wide world":

"I'm here on the blacktop
The sun in my eyes
Women and country on my mind
Boats in the isle
Over the borderline"

Country as in 'Country matters' as in Hamlet?

Might be, but my guess is that he's refering to country as in 'country music'. You know, people in cowboy hats and all that.

Seen a shooting star tonight
And I thought of me.
If I was still the same
If I ever became what you wanted me to be

I've been here before
I nearly got killed here
During the Mexican war

Every day is the same thing out the door
Feel further away then ever before
Some things in life, it gets too late to learn
Well, I’m lost somewhere
I must have made a few bad turns

Pleeease crawl out your window...
Use your hands and legs, it won't ruin you
How can you say he will haunt you?
You can go back to him anytime you want to!

Discussing High Water in another thread reminded me of this one and it really fits my last couple of days in the stormy South

Thunder rolling over Clarkesdale, everything is looking blue
I just can’t be happy, love
Unless you’re happy too
It’s bad out there
High water everywhere

I woke up on the roadside, daydreaming about the way things sometimes are.
Visions of your chestnut mare shoot through my head and are making me see stars.

Well, that mockingbird’s gonna sail away,
We’re gonna forget it.
That big, fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon,
But we’re gonna let it,
You won’t regret it.

The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face.

The geometry of innocent flesh on the bone
Causes Galileo's math book to get thrown

I was burned out from exhaustion
Buried in the hail
Poisoned in the bushes
Blown out on the trail
Hunted like a crocodile
Ravaged in the corn
"Come in", she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Okay that last one is a verse but you can't seperate any one line. It's a package 8)

"Inside the museums infinity goes up on trial" also "Well, John the Baptist after torturing a thief
Looks up at his hero the Commander-in-Chief
Saying, "Tell me great hero, but please make it brief
Is there a hole for me to get sick in ?"
The Commander-in-Chief answers him while chasing a fly
Saying, "Death to all those who would whimper and cry"
And dropping a bar bell he points to the sky
Saying, "The sun's not yellow it's chicken".

Well, jumpin’ Judy can’t go no higher
She had bullets in her eyes, and they fire.
Rasputin he’s so dignified,
He touched the back of her head an’ he died.

Ok, so here comes my very first post :oops: ... current favorite lines:

Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain
That could hold you dear lady from going insane
That could ease you and cool you and cease the pain
Of your useless and pointless knowledge

When you’re lost in the rain in Juarez
And it’s Eastertime too
And your gravity fails
And negativity don’t pull you through


Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,
I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory
And all your ragin’ glory.


and then there's also "i like Fidel Castro and his beard" :D

ooh you've lost your ER virginity?
a quote that fits the occasion -

"how does it feeeeel?"

my favorite at the moment - early one morning the sun was shining, i/he was laying in bed, wondering if she'd changed at all if her hair was still red

erm like erm... "When you think that you lost everything
You find out you can always lose a little more"? First time I've ever thought of this line as a nice happy optimistic statement actually :D
Feels good, I'm boldly posting my ER virginity away...

what's the sense in changing horses in midstream?
