"Always took candy from strangers..."
-Keith Richards "Happy"

"My dreams are all more basic and must be addressed"

Cocteau Twins "Fozepolitic"

"The most important decisions in life

- Billy Bragg, "Must I Paint You A Picture"



"A world like tomorrow wears things out
it's hard enough to get what's yours for now"

- This Mortal Coil, "Mr. Somewhere"

"It took a lifetime to get here,
A journey I'll never make again.."
-Dead Can Dance - The Trial

Wow. That's so cool that you quoted that.
I heard that song for the first time when I was in grade 9 listening to the radio. I hit record on my tapedeck. I used to listen to it over and over again.

Of course, I missed the part where the DJ announced it and given that there were no "innernets" I didn't figure out what it was until about 10 years later!

One of my favorite songs ever.

Also in keeping with the beautiful 90s 4AD-era quotes...

"I was blind
but now I'm still blind."

-- The Sundays

"When you're old and lonely and the rush of life has passed
The days go by too slowly and the years go by to fast"
-Magnetic Fields

"If it feels good it feels good, but if it hurts then it probably should"
-Soulhat

You never turned around to see the frowns
on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you

Todd, are you look for true words sung regarding life in general and our personal feelings or are you looking for artists who have sung something completely true about their own lives?

If the latter, I'd have to go with something like Van Morrison's "In The Garden"

No Guru, no method, no teacher
Just you and I and nature
And the Father and the
Son and the Holy Ghost
In the garden wet with rain


or The Pogues "Sit Down By The Fire"

Remember this place
It is damp and it's cold
The best place on earth
But it's dark and it's old
So lie near the wall
And cover your head
Good night and God bless,
Now fuck off to bed

i just wanna get along.
-the breeders

Just heard "Happy" on the radio this morning, and it struck me how well those words applied to Keef.
So, I suppose that's the latter.

But either way is just ducky!

'john was a little crippled midget lesbian boy but he stood ten foot tall with a KNIFE'

butthole surfers - 'johnny smokes'

well...if that's where we're goin'

There's a time to shit and a time for God,
The last shit that I took was pretty fuckin' odd!

"Cats, sex and nazis that's why they call me Mr. Happy
Why do i keep saying this over and over all the time?
Because it rhymes, moron."

- no means no

"I can't complain, but sometimes I still do." -- Joe Walsh

"Some people work, some will not. Still they complain and complain and complain and complain and complain." - Bob Roberts

"This is a promise with a catch
Only if you'er looking can it find you
Cause true love is searching too
But how can it recognize you
Unless you step out into the light"
- Papa m - The Unknown Album

Yail Bloor & Senator Cleft Pallet LooGAR have just sent forth from Redlands a FATWA, with sirens flashing and horns blaring.

Good thing you're in Hawai'i, to which black houseboys can't swim.

(You just know that an aspiring plutocrat like Bloor has at least two man-servants.)

"Can you show me a dream,
can you show me one that's better than life?"

-- Ronnie Lane

"Hey hey, we're The Monkees"
