Bug out!

Two questions:

1) What is your favorite song lyric, and why? (This should be a phrase, or a line, or a couple lines, but definitely not the whole song.)

2) What is your favorite line from the Evolution Control Committee's "Rocked By Rape"? (If you haven't heard it, listen first, then answer. Also, check out their site: some neat stuff on there ( Read more... )

I really love this set of lyrics currently:

" You taste like honey, honey
Tell me can I be your honey"

I dunno. Theres something about Rob Thomas' voice that really gets me lately. :D

Took me a minute to figure out who you were talking about. :) I haven't heard a Matchbox 20 song in a long while.

I actually hate questions like this, but since I asked it, I suppose I have to answer. Changes from moment to moment, but a lyric that I've liked a lot and doesn't really lose it's power for me over time is

"It’s so sad no one saw it coming
The paper said that he hit the ground running"

From Bad Religion's "Broken", because it evokes very particular imagery with very vague language. Subtle, but kinda deep. I love that stuff, and because of things like this I think BR's got some of the best lyrics in the biz. Music's not half bad, either, but it's the lyrics that keep me coming back, as there is any number musicians whose voices or instrumentation I think is better.
