    I was thinking "Well I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison..." though.

    I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel, I focus on the pain, the only thing that's real

    Love that line, have it tattooed on my wrist as a reminder of some changes I made over the past two years :smile:

    Why don't judge a book just by the cover
    Unless you cover just another
    And blind acceptance is a sign
    of stupid fools who stand in line

    From the song EMI by the Sex Pistols

    tie-tie-dyed dress , she was a psychedelic mess
    We toured to the north, south, east and west
    We sold some mushroom tea,
    We sold some ecstasy,
    We sold nitrous, opium, acid, heroin and PCP
    And now I hear the police coming after me
    Yes now I hear the police coming after me
    The one scarlet with the flowers in her hair,
    She's got the police coming after me

    Miranda Lambert: The House That Built Me

    If I could walk around
    I swear I'll leave
    Won't take nothing but a memory
    From the house that built me...

    I swear I cried like a baby...at the gym...when they sang this on the Voice season finale last year. It was the first time I heard it and downloaded it at once. Good thing I was sweating like crazy so no one realized I was wiping tears instead of sweat :wink:

    Morrissey's got too many good ones.

    “Last night I dreamt that somebody loved me. No hope, no harm; just another false alarm”

    “I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour, but heaven knows I'm miserable now.”

    “I called to wish you an unhappy birthday because you're evil and you lie and if you should die I may feel slightly sad, but I won't cry.”

    “Tried living in the real world instead of a shell, But before I began, I was bored before I even began”

    “So the life I have made... may seem wrong to you. But, who asked you anyway? It's my life to wreck my own way...”

    “This world, I am afraid, is designed for crashing bores.”

    "If you must write prose/poems
    The words you use should be your own
    Don't plagiarise or take "on loan"
    'Cause there's always someone, somewhere
    With a big nose, who knows
    And who trips you up and laughs
    When you fall
    Who'll trip you up and laugh
    When you fall"

    "You're the one for me, Fatty, you're the one I really, really love, and I will stay, promise you'll say if I'm in your way"

    And of course,

    "And if a double-decker bus, crashes into us ... to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die. And if a ten ton truck kills the both of us, to die by your side, well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine. There is a Light that Never Goes Out." :heart:
    love the Smiths and Morrissey...also tons of good lines from Maynard James Keenan of TOOL...like "cold silence has...a tendency to...atrophy any...sense of compassion...between supposed lovers"

    I keep stalling out, I just can't keep up
    There's alarming doubt, am I good enough?
    But you keep coming around, to convince me it's still far from over

    I'm pushing 80 mph, I'm popping no-doze

    I see your face and I miss you dear

    Way, way, waaaaaay too many to list, and the "best" changes depending on my mood. Here is an inspirational and uplifting one from Manowar:

    So for now wave good-bye, leave your hands held high
    Hear this song of courage long into the night
    And the wind will bear my cry to all who hope to fly
    Lift your wings up high my friend fearless to the end

    In every heart there is a room
    A sanctuary safe and strong
    To heal the wounds from lovers past
    Until a new one comes along

    'Cause sometimes you just feel tired,
    Feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up.
    But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
    And just pull that **** out of you and get that motivation to not give up
    And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse.
    -Eminem 'Til I Collapse"

    "I live here on my knees
    As I try to make you see
    That you're everything I think I need
    Here on the ground

    But you're neither friend nor foe
    Though I can't seem to let you go
    The one thing that I still know
    Is that you're keeping me down"

    Sarah Bareilles-Gravity

    Get's me every time.

    I LOVE this song. I first heard it at a particularly rough time and it summed it up exactly!

    My favourite line:

    'In the twist of separation, you excelled at being free..'

    So many good ones have already been mentioned (U2 "One" springs to mind), but I will contribute:

    "I guess every form of refuge has its price." The Eagles

    and

    "Don't take away my shine
    My shine is all I have
    My heat, my love, my beauty and my glad
    It worries me sometimes that I want love
    And live a life of sad" Daniel Lanois
