Tonight I'm listening to Modest Mouse' "Heart Cooks Brain" aaaand I've got to say that it has one of my favorite lines ever:
"the ravens and the seagulls push each other inward and outward
inward and outward
in this place that i call home
my brain's the cliff, and my heart's the bitter buffalo
my heart's the bitter buffalo"
What are you favorite lines from songs/poems/movies/books?
'Psychic spies from China try to steal your minds elation' - Californication
'Bees. My God.' Batman, from Amazons Attack.
'I'll Kill you. I'll kill you to death!' Super-boy Prime, Countdown to Final Crisis.
'I am a MAN!' Superman, from Superman at Worlds End.
Those last three are really only that funny if you've seen where they are from. :p
'
I never dreamed the sea so deep,
The earth so dark; so long my sleep,
I have become another child.
I wake to see the world go wild.
From an Allen Ginsberg poem.
And a line from Thompson:
Maybe there is no Heaven. Or maybe this is all pure gibberish — a product of the demented imagination of a lazy drunken hillbilly with a heart full of hate who has found a way to live out where the real winds blow — to sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whiskey, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love and not getting arrested... Res ipsa loquitur. Let the good times roll."
I'm not sure what thats from though.
"You wanna work for me?
Protect me, from what I want?
I, I'm trying
not to repeat myself."
Blonde Redhead - Down Under
"Lighting it up
you were so cool
her school colours
black and light black.
Giving it up
she has started
your life's colours
black and light black.
Getting your hair
from under your bed.
Breaking your fingers,
getting killed by a car
before you can make him pay."
Xiu Xiu - Crank Heart
