By the way, I have as it happens just discovered that this very same discussion happenned a few months back. Sincere apologies for being highly unoriginal. "I'm only human" as the Human League and Craig David once sang.

Thought of another:

"Living for tomorrow,
Tryin' hard to not belong,
Don't know how to follow,
Don't know how to go along"

Ian McCulloch
Echo and the Bunnymen
"Sense of Life"

"dont forget to stay real- to me its like breathing"

jennifer lopez - jenny from the block.

inspirational words, sigh....

"i know this girl named denise
she makes me weak at the knees
she drives a lavender lexus
she lives in queens but her dad lives in texas."

just awesome.

gord bless the fountains of wayne and all who sail in them.

"No thing I do don't do no thing but bring me more to do,
It's true, I do imbue by blue unto myself,
I make it bitter"

Fiona Apple, On The Bound

These lyrics mean an awful lot to me.

‘‘So now I'm going back again
I got to get her somehow
All the people we used to know
They're an illusion to me now
Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenter's wives
Don't know how it all got started
I don't what they do with their lives
But me I'm still on the road
Heading for another joint
We always did feel the same
We just saw it from a different point of view
Tangled up in Blue.’’

- Dylan, ‘Tangled Up In Blue’.

‘‘They walked alone by the old canal
A little confused I remember well
And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burning bright
He felt the heat of the night, it hit him like a freight train
Moving with a simple twist of fate.
He woke up the room was bare
He didn't see her anywhere
He told himself he didn't care, pushed the window open wide
Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate
Brought on by a simple twist of fate.
People tell me it's a sin
To know and feel too much within
I still believe she was my twin but I lost the ring
She was born in spring but I was born too late
Blame it on a simple twist of fate.’’

- Dylan, ‘Simple Twist Of Fate’.

‘‘If you see her say hello she might be in Tangier
She left here last early spring is living there I hear
Say for me that I'm all right though things get kind of slow
She might think that I've forgotten her don't tell her it isn't so.

We had a falling-out like lovers often will
And to think of how she left that night it still brings me a chill
And though our separation it pierced me to the heart
She still lives inside of me we've never been apart.

If you get close to her kiss her once for me
I always have respected her for doing what she did and getting free
Oh whatever makes her happy I won't stay in the way
Though the bitter taste still lingers on from the night I tried to make her stay

I see a lot of people as I make the rounds
And I hear her name here and there as I go from town to town
And I've never gotten used to it I've just learned to turn it off
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm getting soft.

Sundown yellow moon I replay the past
I know every scene by heart they all went by so fast
If she's passing back this way I'm not that hard to find
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.’’

- Dylan, ‘‘If You See Her Say Hello.’’

"Regular rent sets you back
if you don't own your property,
if your place towers with grey and cold,
suspended like a cemetery.
i bite the hand that feeds me,
i punch the gifthorse in the mouth,
easy come will set you free,
easy go will let you down.
you cannot hear the things you're taught,
you cannot read the stuff you want,
depression's easy to catch before you can see where you're going.
this old life's a lottery
fingers entice you in to bare shelves of debauchery
the afterlife is here on earth
but you've gotta do the pre-life first...
you must work to achieve,
you must have riches so you can burn them,
all the dreams are already bought,
so you have to earn them...
and i'll never have this place paid off 'til the new contractors tear it down,
and i'll never pay the council off 'til the debt collectors change the locks.
and the things you're not allowed to do will rise like snakes and beckon you,
to satisfy your one desire and frustrated, sated,drive you higher.
i bite the hand that feeds me,
i punch the gift horse in the mouth
easy come will set you free
easy go will let you down,"

"Vertical Grave" by the most underated band ever 'The Wolfhounds'....

'so the marching has ended
you can see it's the same
it's just masses of suits
where there once was a crown'

'the royal poisoner' by deep backward square

insightful stuff....

got another one...

'sitting here regarding my own company
wallowing in my own obscenity
i share a cigarette with negativity
leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial
firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
sitting here like wet ashes with x's in my eyes
i'm drawing flies'
'drawing flies' - soundgarden

"Well the girls would turn the colour of an avocado
When he would drive down their street in his El Dorado
He could walk down your street and girls could not resist to stare

Not like you."

You're perfect in so many ways,
But you never looked hard
at a fetus in a jar
you never saw your mama change."

"Take no heroes, only inspiration
And if you learn nothing from his life
Learn this from his death
