Out of all their songs, are their any verses or anything like that in their songs that stand out to you?

I've always liked

"Caught in the breakdown" from Lazy Eye or "Scars are souvenirs you never lose" from Name

Probable the second verse of Name. Thats the first that comes to mind... but I also like all the verses of Sympathy.

The very end of Black balloon, "I'll become, what you became to me" Perhaps my fav lyric of all time

"Scars are souvenirs you never lose,past is never far"
"Sometimes you choke on the smell just to breathe"
"Your mother loves your father but she's got no where to go"
"What's the point in all this screaming no ones listening anyway"
It's hard to lead the life you choose"
"Now this angry little girl drowning in this petty world."
"Nobody hears above this noise"
"You see a little stranger in your mirror"
"I want to get free"
The list could go on for forever but I'll just stop there.

"up yours...stop your whine"
"you pray to statues when you sober up for fun" - OUCH!
"I won't let you fall until you tell me so"
"The least they ever gave you was the most you ever knew"
"Cause I'm sober with you and you know it beats drinkin' alone"
"And all your lies weren't enough to keep me here"
The whole "saccharine, caffeine, nicotine gum..." verse

I guess it depends on my mood. Looking at what I've picked...oooh, bitter...table for one please! I guess I'm just grouchy tonight. Thanks goo for singin the words I feel! :bowdown:

hmm. . .pretty much all of Black Balloon, but if i had a gun to my head and was forced to pick i would say: "What's the things they never showed you That swallowed the light From the sun Inside your room"

then there is:

everytime you point your finger three more point right back at you
i hope i never wake up your old man -- just too cute
there's knowledge wrapped in blankets on the streets
you know i'm lost hiding in your bed
if i had an hour glass i'd save the grains of time i spent with you
cuz the stars you see are on dirty sidewalks and they ain't for wishin

that's about all i can think of at the moment. . . ;D
