favorite line from a song?

Ive been searching for the daughter
Of the devil himself
Ive been searching for an angel in white
Ive been waiting for a woman whos a little
Of both
 
Getting trampled under boots of progress
Ignore the pleading of the nameless faces
Now with our backs against the wall
How long till we fall?

Do away with all the underprivileged
their demographic doesn't fit your image
Turn your blind eye when duty calls
How long till we fall?
 
both of these have grown on me over the years

1972:
You've been tellin' me you're a genius since you were seventeen
In all the time I've known you, I still don't know what you mean
The weekend at the college didn't turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge, I can't understand

1982:
Thirty years ago, how the words would flow
With passion and precision
But now his mind is dark and dulled
By sickness and indecision
 
David Bowie - I'm Afraid of Americans

Johnnys in America, Johnny looks up at
The stars
Johnny combs his hair and johnny
Wants pussy and cars
Johnnys in America
 
Nearly every line in this song is memorable:

Well, these diamonds on my windshield --
Tears from heaven
Well, I'm pulling into town on the interstate
I got a steel train in the rain
And the wind bites my cheek through the wing
And it's these late nights and it's freeway flyin'
That always make me sing

There's a Duster tryin' to change my tune
He's pulling up fast on the right
Rolling restlessly by a twenty-four hour movie
And a Wisconsin hiker with a cue-ball head
He's wishing he's home in a Wisconsin bed
But there's fifteen feet of snow in the East
Colder then a well digger's ass
And it's colder then a well digger's ass

Oceanside -- it ends the ride
With San Clemente coming up
Sunday desperadoes slip by and cruise with a dryback
And the orange drive-in, the neon billin'
And the theater's fillin' to the brim
With slave girls and a hot spur and bucketful of sin

Metropolitan area with interchanging connections
Fly-by-nights from Riverside
And out-of-state plates running a little late
With the sails jockey for the fast lane
So 101 -- don't miss it
There's rolling hills and concrete fields
And a broken line's on your mind

The 'Eights go east and the Five go north
The merging nexus back and forth
You see your sign 'cross the line signalin' with a blink
And a radio's gone off the air and gives you time to think
And you hear the rumble as you fumble for a cigarette
And blazing through this midnight jungle
You remember someone that you met

With one more block the engine talks
Whispers, "Home at last"
Whispers, "Home at last"
Whispers, "Home at last"
Whispers, "Home at last"
Whispers, "Home at last"

And the diamonds on my windshield
And these tears from heaven
Well, I'm pulling into town on the interstate
I got me a steel train in the rain
And the wind bites my cheek through the wing
Late nights and freeway flyin' always make me sing
Always make me sing
 
Have to put the entire song as every line is my favorite

Big Rock Candy Mountain




One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fire was burning
Down the track came a hobo hiking and he said boys I'm not turning
I'm headin for a land that's far away beside the crystal fountains
So come with me we'll go and see the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains there's a land that's fair and bright
Where the handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night
Where the boxcars are all empty and the sun shines every day
On the birds and the bees and the cigarette trees
Where the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains all the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth and the hens lay soft boiled eggs
The farmer's trees are full of fruit and the barns are full of hay
Oh, I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall and the wind don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains you never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol come a-trickling down the rocks
The brakemen have to tip their hats and the railroad bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew and of whiskey too
You can paddle all around 'em in a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains the jails are made of tin
And you can walk right out again as soon as you are in
There ain't no short handled shovels, no axes saws or picks
I'm a goin to stay where you sleep all day
Where they hung the jerk that invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
 
Saw Something - Dave Gahan

I saw,
Something in your eyes
I'm sure,
(Oh baby) I saw it,
Something in your eyes,
I wanted it for myself.

I don't wanna live to be 34
I don't wanna die in a nuclear war
I don't wanna live to be 43
I don't like what I see going on around me
I don't wanna live to be 57
I'm living in hell,is there a heaven?
Live fast Die young Live fast Die young

Social Security has run out on you and me

In our sluggish economy
inflation, recession hit the land of the free
Stand in unemployment line
Blame the government for hard times

These are the days
These are days you'll remember
Never before and never since, I promise
Will the whole world be as warm as this
And as you feel it,
You'll know it's true
That you are blessed and lucky
It's true that you
Are touched by something
That will grow and bloom in you

(for a friend who will not be forgotten :rose:rose:rose)
 
Silent alarms are ringing
Sounds of revolt draw near
A new united front
That you will come to fear
We will hold together
To become the change
Those are the voices
With every common man engaged
 
Face my fears
Just once a year
The feeling I get
When I want to return everything
That's in my life
I'll be busting at the seams.

It's a gamble either way
If you play your cards
It's another tidal wave
I'll be waiting with my eyes closed.

No, I don't want to be
The one who lives a lie
But never knew it.
We're just a world away from where
I can feel like I've never felt before
So lock the door.
 
I feel the magic in your caress
I feel magic when I touch your dress
Silk and satin, leather and lace
Black panties with an angels face

I see magic in your eyes
I hear the magic in your sighs
Just when I think Im gonna get away
I hear those words that you always say

Abra-abra-cadabra
 
Truth :

How many times have you noticed that our eyes never meet
From your judgment seat i can feel the anger for my very being
Fill me in on when you became such a big part of my life
That i should bother with all your lies designed to bring me down
Wrong again don't depend on any reaction again
I remember the icy walls that shot up from nowhere
And i can see every lie that you ever told yourself
You bleed me dry and i don't ask why but i'm left with the dust
Judas kiss i dismiss thank you all for this i am untouched
Wait again i'm not through with the screaming
I contend that you've got nothing better to do
Trade my life for a barrel of gold
Find someone else before i get too old
If i live my life for aesthetic gain will you repay me with all your shame
I can see every light inside your brain go on
Every time i walk by for noise and whispers
Your comfort in my suffering is no longer disturbing
I'm lost beyond your petty stopwatch in life's real time
Don't get up i was leaving the room and when the door of your judgment swings back around again
Maybe i'll stop to watch and i'll go on my way
I've seen quite enough of too many childish games
I'm ashamed of every moment that i ever gave them the time of day
All the worst of enemies are somehow always friends that used to be
