SOMETHING I LEARNED TODAY
BLACK AND WHITE IS ALWAYS GREY

On that wavelength:
How young are you? How old am I?
Let's count the rings around my eyes

Yep, it's a bit long but once I started I couldn't stop, and it does say "lines", not "line", so…
And I love "I Hope You Die". Was mucking around with a friend on a cover of "The Bad Touch" just yesterday.

"And so ten centuries solemnly collide,
love has failed, and I have lost my name."

-Kayo Dot's "Choirs of the Eye"

One of my favorite albums as of late.
Really cool sounds everywhere on the album.
And the delivery of this line sets it all up perfectly.

Ween - You fucked up, you bitch
You really fucked up

Stereolab - Crazy, sturdy, a torpedo
Crazy, brutal, a torpedo

Big Black - The backbone of this country is the independent truck
The power of the trucker comes from his truck

Mr. Bungle - All behold the spectacle
A fleshy limbless rectangle
Sitting on a pedestal
So nasal handicapable

The Velvet Underground - White light goin' messin' up my mind.
Don't you know it's gonna make me go blind
White heat it tickle me down to my toes
Have mercy white light have it goodness knows

Bauhaus - I dare you
To be real
To touch
To touch a flickering flame

Sample: "Shaolin shadowboxing...and the Wu-Tang sword style...if what you say is true, the Shaolin and the Wu-Tang could be....dangerous"

hell yes

Enter the chamber, and it's a whole different sound
It's a wide entrance, small exit like a funnel
So deep it's picked up on radios in tunnels.




Not the opening lines. But awesome. And Wu.

I liked reading through this thread so I'll add a few:

Sunday morning
Brings the dawn in
It's just a restless feeling
By my side

Pigs, they tend to wiggle when they walk.

Don't fall in love with me yet
We've only recently met
True I'm in love with you, but
You might decide I'm a nut
Give me a week or two to
Go absolutely cuckoo

I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand,
Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man?

I declare I don't care no more
I'm burning up and out and
Growing bored

Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time. For ya'll have knocked her up. I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe. I was not offended, for I knew I had to rise above it all or drown in my own shit.

Every thousand years
This metal sphere
Ten times the size of Jupiter
Floats just a few yards past the earth…

Oh you.

For me, personally:

Xiu Xiu/Always: "If you are wasting your life, say hi
If you are alone tonight, say hi
If you wish he should die, say hi, hi-hi, hi-hi
If you have a hole in your head, say hi
If you have a stitch in your wrist, say hi
If, when you look at the sky, it is black and shredded"

I will forever sing along to Against Me/As the Eternal Cowboy:
"The party's over,
A CD's skippin'.
It's the same hook repeating.
Grows more grating with each passing second."

Or, the near surrealist (whatever that means) lyrics of Wilco/Yankee Hotel Foxtrot:
"I'm an American aquarium drinker,
I assassin down the avenue.
I'm hiding out in the big city blinkin'.
What was I thinking when I let go of you?"

But really, it's all about

I'VE BEEN CALLED A SINNERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

In a similar vein,
HRAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHH OUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHH
-Harvey Milk, Courtesy and Good Will Toward Men

Another one I like:
"We sail tonight for Singapore, we're all as mad as hatters here..."
-Tom Waits, Rain Dogs

Good call on the Tom Waits.

"Be a man can, a mystery man"
-The Damned

"That night, I watched people fucking on my computer
Nobody can see me looking anyway"

- Jenny Hval, Innocence is Kinky

"I arrived in town with an electric toothbrush pressed against my clitoris"

- Jenny Hval, Viscera

Devo - Uncontrollable Urge : " Yeah yeah yeah yeah ya ya ya ya ya ya yeah"
