Tell me what you got away with.

And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt,
and again when your head goes through the windshield."

I always liked these lines from two separate versions of the same Billy Bragg song

I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them but they were only satellites
It's fun to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care

Once upon a time at home
I sat beside the telephone
Waiting for someone to pull me through
When at last it didn't ring, I knew it wasn't you

[Bob Impact]

Probably my favorite song lyrically ever:
Tom Waits - Watch Her Disappear.

Last night I dreamed that I was dreaming of you
And from a window across the lawn I watched you undress
Wearing your sunset of purple tightly woven around your hair
That rose in strangled ebony curls
Moving in a yellow bedroom light
The air is wet with sound
The faraway yelping of a wounded dog
And the ground is drinking a slow faucet leak
Your house is so soft and fading as it soaks the black summer heat
A light goes on and the door opens
And a yellow cat runs out on the stream of hall light and into the yard

A wooden cherry scent is faintly breathing the air
I hear your champagne laugh
You wear two lavender orchids
One in your hair and one on your hip
A string of yellow carnival lights comes on with the dusk
Circling the lake with a slowly dipping halo
And I hear a banjo tango

And you dance into the shadow of a black poplar tree
And I watched you as you disappeared.

I'll add a Sleeves line I was always a big fan of from "Hence I lied." It doesn't really make sense isolated from the song so go to radioghost.com and listen to it:
"There’s a bird
In the deep footprint
In the snow outside the door
I’d feed her if
the shoe’d been mine
But at Barron’s I was declined"

[commish13]

"Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theatre"

[tileslinger]

[MacVittie]

"I scored 1.1 on my SAT
and still push a whip with a right and left AC"
-Redman, Blackout!

You would have to score that low on the SAT to think that that's the way SATs are measured. So in a way, it makes complete sense. As Redman usually does.

[Gvac]

Many years later we found ourselves in Canada trying to save our marriage and perhaps catch a few fish
Whatever came first

"im a rolling stone, all alone and lost
for a life of sin, i have paid the cost"


Today I passed you on the street
And my heart fell at your feet
I Can't Help It If I'm Still In Love With You
Somebody else stood by your side
And he looked so satisfied
I Can't Help It If I'm Still In Love With You.

I'm friends with the Pope
We're all making fortunes
Selling Daddy's dope
