Favorite Lines, You know you've been saying it...

All right, I just had a "Lyon" stuck in my head and was reciting lines over, when I thought that many Pinback lines are actually quite "addictive" per se. So you could share what lines you randomly get in your head, or really like a lot.

Some of mine:

Lyon: "I wish we'd have a tea party to celebrate" (sort-of a personal line)

BBTone: "But my hands are tied" (song picks up so much right there)

Some Voices: "It's like a hurricane inside her. Inside the hurricane her mind gets blown" (I've always sung that to a friend to annoy her )

Soaked: "Paper model plane, glued to your spine, severin' off your feeling." (Great line, you have to admit)

Prog: "Dry ice, Dry eyes" (Who doesn't sing that?)

Tripoli: "Sad, I'm gonna die" (love it)

Tres: "Talk to me" (self explanitory)

and Clemenceau: "You always made me sick." (Oh, I am obsessed with this song so much. I love this line quite the bit because when you first listen to that line, a painful "ouch" is all that really comes to mind) along with the line "Have a problem"

Ho Hum: "I wanna breathe in blue"
Get's me every tiime and I know this makes me lame but it makes me feel bad when rob says "I wanna breathe in blue too, may I?" and he never gets a response

Let's see...what else...

Montaigne "Well I've been betrayed now, that's the way it's always been"

Victorious D Pretty much the entire ending to the song.

And I agree about Clemenceau, my friend just recently sent me the song and I feel like kicking myself for not having it for so long. God what a beautiful song, can't wait until they release their b-sides/rarities cd.

Right now its June: sad sad somehow somehow

from Concrete Seconds
And everything I say to you will probably come out wrong anyway

from June
Why must all those pretty things be sad, sad, Somehow, Somehow?

from Boo
Some day I will sail again to a distant shore far away AND
Sorry, sorry. Can't go no more

from Rousseau
Is a part of my soul asleep today?
Is it hid under the pillow where cleophus lays?
Is it stuck inside the dash with the shitty comp. tapes?
Something's wrong with my soul

from AFK
I can't talk to you anymore and I miss you.
Not in a slint way, but I miss you.

from Tripoli
Sad I'm gonna die. ( oooooowoowoooooo )
Hope it's gonna happen later than I think.
Sad I'm gonna die. ( oooooowoowoooooo )
Hope it's gonna happen later than I think.
They'll tie me up and send me off to set me off on someone's lawn.
They'll tie me up and send me off to set me off on someone's lawn.
Sad I'm gonna die. ( oooooowoowoooooo )
Hope it's gonna happen later than I think.
Sad I'm gonna die. ( oooooowoowoooooo )
Hope it's gonna happen later than I think.

The end of Bbtone:

Yeah, that's totally what I meant. haha

On the left side, a parking attendant sleeps selling space and time

that's also a nice one

Yep indeed : from Boo
"Sorry, sorry. Can't go no more"

from Manchuria:
"Don't say that we're not like them either"

from Sender:
"inside, outside, amazing" and "acute angels divide my path that I had lost"

from Syracuse:
"1, 2 cha cha cha" (ha, no lyrics but still)

from Prog indeed:
"Dry ice, Dry eyes"

almost forgotten: from B
"you're falling asleep.
don't worry about the curtain.
you're falling asleep.
you're look in the spinning line. LAAAAAAIIIIIIINE"

Talby - Play that song again and go to hell when you die, Wave goodbye at you as you tune your guitars

Messenger - Watch the city burn tonight

Rousseau - Is it stuck inside the dash with the shitty comp tapes? Somethings wrong with my soul

Loro - da da da dunna da da da (I know we are all guilty of humming this haha)

June - It might turn out just like they said, and it might be even worse in here



Theres a ton more but those are off the top of my head.

first one is a really nice quote
and i guess you're totally right about the 2nd quote

Just wanted to say that I FULLY AGREE with Screenager.
Especially "Something's wrong with my soul", I keep on singing that one for...

First off great topic...

Bbtone: Pretty much this whole song is awesome to me but the two lines that really stick out to me are... "The sky is open to me now but my hands are tied..." and "Hands from the sky rip rip rip me open... suffer begin..."

Todo: The little bridge/end verse that starts "Still you are.." and ends "Still you go away."

Lyon: "I'm heading to the ditch to take my 15th leap" He seems reluctant about going to the ditch like it symbolizes a mistake he wishs he wouldn't continue to make.

Penelope: "It's depressing me to see you struggle"

Rousseau: "Is a part of my soul asleep today?
Is it hid under the pillow where cleophus lays?
Is it stuck inside the dash with the shitty comp. tapes?
Something's wrong with my soul"

AFK: "I can't talk to you anymore and I miss you.
Not in a slint way, but I miss you." I feel that I miss her so much...

AFK - Protect. Embrace. Engulf. Remember the summer in abbaddon.

I like how that song wraps up the album

Lyon -

I wish that you were here,
I wish we'd have a tea party to celebrate
Drive a cop car into the lake,
Hold our breath for two long boring days

and

Sometimes wish there was a slide out my window.
Sometimes wish there was a flume ride at Wonderland.
That way, no one's gonna steal your wallet
Buried in the sand under your blanket.

And I'll take you, take you with me to the deep end....

Rousseau: Roomsick Man is easy now.
Arrested day. Awake in grey.
Bedsick Man I read somehow,
Once he was full. He's empty now.
(that part of this song says preety much the kind of life i had sometime ago)

Loro:And the Ripped Ones say goodbye,
While the others meet.
Attached somewhere.
At least they're shared.
(...)
da da da dunna da da da
da da da dunna da da da

June:Why do I assume these things are
bad? bad Burnt down? Burnt down
bad? bad Burnt down? Burnt down

Why must all those pretty things be
sad, sad, Somehow? Somehow
sad, sad, Somehow? Somehow
(this part remembers me of my girl friend.. she lives in another city far away from me , kinda sad situation, but a beautifull love test)

Hurley: As I seal myself inside. The zippers catch my skin.
And as I waddle towards the doorway a freezer hits me.
As I stumble from my house, I reach down for the sled.
And as I start to shape my weapon, a cold one hits me.

And, my favourite one
Montaigne: She's been all used up like the gum in her ashtray
(...)
waves waves waves waves
(...)
Well I've been betrayed now
That's the way it's always been

Tripoli: Sad I'm gonna die
Hope it's gonna happen later--
later than I think

They'll tie me up and send me off to set me off on someone's lawn.

(reminds me of a friend that passed away in a car accident)

Subbing for Eden:And I consume the raging fire.
And I can feel the depths of the ocean.
And I become consumed by desire.
And I can feel the depths of the ocean.

And I swear I thought of you.

Crutch:This memory of you holds more than a photograph
It's much more than a book of old pictures locked away without a name.

Charborg:And if you asked me to fly I would do so
And if you asked me to climb I would do so
And if you asked me to shine I would do so
And if you asked me to dance I would do so

The entirety of "Grey-Machine."

Oh, and June: "Why must all those pretty things be sad somehow?"

3x0: I'd pay anyone 20 bucks just to do that/ cause everything in this place is freezing, except for the sound/ it's just a thing that I carry around

AFK: too far gone to do more than breathe/ release me

Avignon: I spent a lifetime knocking round the same old patch of concrete/ I waste all my time breaking rocks and painting smiles on my feet

B: oh my goodness! oh my goodness! rumbly in my tumbly and it's bad for business!

BBtone: forever pushing, sisiphus would know

Bloods on Fire: We all forgot/ we're all lost in autumn

Boo: Inside this leaking submarine the hull is closing in/ the water is above my ankles and I still can't get you off of my ...

Clemenceau: hand me down halo/ halo hello

Loro: (the entire song) but i love the way he sings "at least they're shared"

Non-photo Blue: crayon past line. stay after school/ crossword filled in non-photo blue, so they'll never find you...(and)... I'm leaving a message/ stapled on your head

Off Cell: out of phase, off center, and off cell

Penelope: release that air

Rousseau: is it stuck inside the dash with the shitty comp tapes?/ something's wrong with my soul...(and)...my heart beats from the outside/ and i'll do anything to keep me inside

Sender: shoes crack where you walk

Seville: the colors of the grass/ the shadows on the floor/ the precious things that she had no time for

Soaked: paper model plane glued to your spine severing off your feelings

Some Voices: she lays among the flowers/ and spreads among the sheets/ and counts the clouds for hours/ and turns them into sheep/ they sleep along the rivers/ and shower in the deep/ and breathe in all that's autumn/ til winter stays

Syracuse: step down into sand/ water carries us from here

This Red Book: uh oh, I could strangle you all/ did i say that out loud?

Trainer: Two that look/ won't see the same thing...(and)... stick your arm inside the mirror/ crawl back into bed/ take a swim inside the mirror/ exactified/ exhausted

Tres: another tear in the sea/ another drop in the ocean

West: Girl looks so sad/ hair slicked back with raindrops from her walk outside/ it's good to be sad, sometimes/ no need to hide your doe eyes/ light from the air/ red as the rose wrapped round her feet/ yellow buttercup reflects on her chin/ some would pay to know why

XIY: got to wipe my feet off now/ got to kick the shoes/ there's a lot of empties on the ground/ gotta fill some new ones...(and)...someday, they're gonna exercise a reasonable (amount of strain)/ amount of strain on my simple way

Your Sickness: something we both saw shattered all of us/ something we both saw mattered all along...(and)... got a mouth/ insert the hook/ reel us in/ see you later

what is time and why does it, taste like salt water inside of my mouth?
