"I hang my boots to rest when I'm impressed,
so I triple-knot'em and forgot 'em."

Aesop Rock (Daylight)
 
Then one day you find, ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

And I'm jerkin but this whole bag of Viagra isn't working

Snort two lines that were filled with chalk
Thought it was Incredible I killed the Hulk
I wanna roll away like a rollerblade
Until my eyes roll back in my skull for days

"Spoiled children soon to fall
Freedom is the lie we live
We will wait for tragedy
And scatter helpless to the fire
Sorry for ourselves
Sorry for the things we've seen
No one cries for help
Waiting for the fire
When all our toys are burning
All these empty urges must be satisfied
Acted outside"
-Sebadoh - Spoiled

There is a road, no simple highway,
Between the dawn and the dark of night,
And if you go no one may follow,
That path is for your steps alone.

Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.

-Ripple, The Grateful Dead

Sorry, more than a line.

This song is just so fucking great.......

I cried my eyes out listening to this a couple weeks ago at a good friends funeral.......now the song just makes me smile; brings back all the good memories.......

-Bob Dylan, "Desolation Row"
 
It's impossible to choose just one, so here are a select few i've picked at random:

You were caught on the shore, as the white tide was risin'
You were drownin' from the moment you drew your first breath
Now your voice has been lost in the sound of their singin'
As they've pointed the bone, and they've sung you to death.

Eric Bogle - Poor Bugger Charlie; amazing song about Aboriginal rights.


If you've only lived on Earth then you've never seen the sun,
Or the promise of a thousand other suns that glow beyond.

Jefferson Airplane - When the Earth Moves Again.

I left my heart to the sappers round Khe Sanh
And my soul was sold with my cigarettes to the blackmarket man
I've had the Vietnam cold turkey
From the ocean to the Silver City
And it's only other vets could understand

Khe Sahn - Cold Chisel
 
"first time I saw a body bend that way i realized you were more beautiful dead than alive, with bloody flesh removed your ribcage ripped away, and I saw why they say beauty comes from the inside"
