Favourite Line In A Matthew Good (band) Song

[ryanolmstead]

Basically your favourite lyric(s) in a song that Matthew Good wrote. Mine is from 'The Workers Sing A Song On Mass Production' and it's 'Life's A Dirty Business So Just Be A Prick And Do It While The World's Awake'

[Prometheon]

There's literally too many to list, so I'll just do the first one that came into my mind.

 

From Go Fly Blind: You can walk tragically into the distance, and I can stand here cryin in the rain, and if anyone asks you if it ever made me crazy just say I thought it was boring to be sane.

[Shiri]

Wow, there're a lot of lines. Now, this one comes to mind:

 

"There are fifty ways to leave your lover

but there isn't one that will ever bring them back again" - The Bombmaker

[laser30]

Although there are many great lines my two favourite are both from suburbia

"baby if I was in demand you would be mind"

"so you can tell them I'm coming, and hell's coming with me"

[ecnarf]

If I was in demand, technically, I would be everyone else's.

[Little_Bird]

and how I feel is like a child in a foreign place

far too alone, far too alone to face the fear that I have to face

and how I feel is like a burning sun behind clouds of grey

far too alone, too far away

to say the words I need you to hear me say

-Break In the Rhythm

 

and all of Parable.

[Morbii]

All of Let's Get It On

[MarketTomato]

"And there's a fake part of me that comes off, so you can read I was made by the Taiwanese in Taiwan, but they don't like that much, cause it's called Formosa" -Workers

 

"Here's a quarter for the phone, why don't you call someone and find out how it is we can all belong, to something that no one wants any part of, one day you'll wake up and they'll be advertising on police cars." -AOPC

 

"I look in your eyes, you look for some teetch, like nickles at night, left under the sheets." - Fall of Man

[Moonlight_Graham]

i like:

 

- "Today I'm leaving

This bullshit one horse town

Full of Cowboys and Indians

Who only have balls when there's a camera around" - A Long Way Down

 

- "It's all right now, take the world and make it yours again" - Symbolistic White Walls

 

- "Man makes god so god can make man

man makes the devil so that he can understand

why it is that every day,

everything always turns out this way" - Ommisions of the Omen

[davidedward]

all of bright end of nowhere is brilliant.

[Russell]

My favourite at least so far as the image it creates in my mind:

 

"I looked out over the bay at the water and the lights

I noticed we had gone to great lengths but not to great heights" - Dancing Invisible

 

 

I think I like that one because I remember staring across the Vancouver Bay for hours when I would visit. I remember one time we were in a hotel and I just looked out the window all night long, staring at the lights.

[Jarrod]

This is where the world drops off

Careful. You be careful

[Prometheon]

*sigh* this thread makes me remember why I love Matty so much...

[driftinginfluence]

If that ain't panic that your feeling, well you damn well better start, you can drive into that head of yours with that hammer in your heart - SWW live outro

[Jarrod]

*sigh* this thread makes me remember why I love Matty so much...

because he's brilliant? and creates intelligent music? i can't spell

[Sparq]

Some day, this place is gonna burn.

[ToadMan]

I love some of the lines already pointed out. I'm particularly partial to songs that work acoustically.

 

I would like to add:

Cross continents and oceans, transplanted the great divide, though the rookies they 'en't moved none.

 

What the hell is ZON?

[Moonlight_Graham]

woops forget my very favorite!

 

"you are the only one I'll miss

you are the only answer at a time like this

she is he trick of my trade

she is the thing that can't be made

she is gold and nothing less

and she is fearless"

 

i love that entire song.

[Sim]

I like the last part of Avalanche:

 

"This key is to your Kingdom, this key is to your heart... neither ones a doorway, but both of them a part... so one foot in front of the other"

 

Also, like someone else pointed out, i like very much the lyrics of the song "Parable"

[rebellious_L]

I'm just a boat in the ocean

And I'm just a ship lost at sea - WWWHR

"I'm just a boat on the ocean, I just a ship lost at sea..." While We Were Hunting Rabbits

[Shiri]

Oh and from Mercy Misses You:

 

"there are windy thoughts

clouds of rage, when you're feeling stormy on a calm, clear day"

[The_Stooge]

Over the rainbow,

out over the lawn,

stretch out on this sleepless bed

and wait for your kingdom come

[josiegross]

tough one. can't pick just one. i'm listening to "x-rated" right now, and my favorite line in this one is "used to ride around here up on my high horse" (and "you're a naughty little monkey boy" but i don't think it counts)

[RicardoObviouso]

If that ain't panic that your feeling, well you damn well better start, you can drive into that head of yours with that hammer in your heart - SWW live outro

bingo was his name-o.

 

 

 

i second that one. unless someone already seconded that, then i third it.
