What you did not need was a woman who was stronger...

[diamondsnake]

you needed someone to depend on you. I could not be her, I did not want to. My first mistake was to smle at you. Smile at you!

This is my all time favorite line from SYW, what is yours?

[sorcerer0078]

Ok i have more than one but mine woul be:

"Affairs of the heart that start out in the dark usually stay with the night" (hence my signature at the bottom of this post!!)

Others (not on SYW) would be:

"So we make our choices, when there is no choice, we listen to their voices, ignoring our own voice"

and

"The days go by like a strand in the wind, in the web that is my own, i begin again"

:D

[Johnny Stew]

My favorite 'SYW' lines, in order of appearance:

"I don't say what they want, I don't do what they say... so I'm on their list... so I'm gone, I guess."

"I will not take you for granted... I wouldn't trade you for jade, or for diamonds... not for one minute... not for anything.
I need you to be there... Just remember when I am haunted, that I was just so scared."

"Faith is a hard thing to hold onto... something inside you says, 'I don't have to.'"

"You can sit outside his door and wait... you can dedicate your pain to him."

"Anyone at all, could see what was missing... could see you were dying... but no one was crying."

"Something in you, brought out something in me, that I've never been since."

"It always seems to heal the wounds, if I can get you to dance."

"You know all of our friends are gods, and they all tell us how to paint our face.
But there's only one brush we need... it's the one that never leaves a trace."

"I have come to know this world of changing faces... I can't fight the world, and I can't change it."

"And so you run toward what you know is wrong...."

"Never did I mean to imprison you... here in my garden... like I am imprisoned."

"Sometimes she was just an actress, but you'll never really know... A shadow moves across her face... you cannot see her soul."

"Nobody sees them... at least not together... she rarely goes out.
She spends every day... waiting for the day... when everybody finds out."

"Maybe we were together in another life... Maybe we are together in a parallel universe... Maybe our paths were not supposed to cross twice... Maybe your arms are not supposed to go around me."

"When I see you again, as I always do... it appears to me that destiny rules, and the spirts are ruthless with the paths they choose... it's not being together, it's just following the rules... no one's a fool."

"I let you slip away... there was nothing I could do... That was so long ago, still I often think of you."

"Now I finally found my way... now I know just what to do...
Once you said goodbye to me, and now I say goodbye to you."

"Goodbye, Baby... I hope your heart's not broken.
Don't forget me... yes, I was outspoken.
You were with me all the time...
I'll be with you... one day...."

[wondergirl9847]

Smile at You is my fave Stevie song on SYW. I lurve it!!

Red Rover contains my favorite line tho, it's on Johnny's list too.

"Anyone at all, could see what was missing... could see you were dying... but no one was crying."

Also... "you don't belong here, I guess you never did...whisper murder in your ear, you just keep it so well hid."

SPECTACULAR!! :nod::D:):thumbsup:

[GypsySorcerer]

"It's so hard to find your way, when the liars come around, still it happens every day, so don't let it get you down.."

"Faith is a hard thing to hold onto, something inside you says 'I don't have to,' you're not like other people, you do what you want to."

"And I who went to sleep in tears, woke up in tears for all of the years and I who never, never said goodbye, as I slipped away..."

[littlelies7]

Mine is part of a song, so sorry for breaking the rules:

"From the pneumatic drills and sharpened knives, blood in the sky are you dead or alive"

~~

Yeah, so I like a dark part of the song. :p

While we were sleeping
Suddenly we hit the ground

from Buckingham's STEAL YOUR HEART AWAY......

>>>>He performed this number in Newcastle, Australia, I heard.....AWESOME!

[CarneVaca]

Why do you come around so very much
You know it just brings you down
It's just something you can touch

[I can think of a million situations to which those lines can apply.]

Think of me sweet darling every time you don't come

[I don't particularly like the song, but I have to admit that's a great line. I especially like how it can be taken in different ways.]

Don't take me to the tower
And take my child away
It was I who was the hourglass
And the sands of time
Like shattering glass went past me
Like a tunner to the sea

[It's the most poetic thing in the whole album and it is heartbreaking, especially if it is about what I think it is.]

[marc402]

mine is

"You know all of our friends are gods, and they all tell us how to paint our face.
But there's only one brush we need... it's the one that never leaves a trace."

I love many lines from songs on this album....but the above is probably my absolute favorite.

[dreams]

Most of my favourites have already been quoted, but I want to say that this thread once again reminds how very deep and moving and REAL this album really is .... :shocked:

I love it so much, and am so proud of the band taking risks and laying it all out like that.

Someone posted this on another board. I don't think their memory was very clear since everyone else reported no checnges in setlist.

"I've shaken your faith in me-
No, you've shaken my faith in everything else.
A decision no one made...
and now you're going home."

That pretty much sums up the Dance right there.

Word. Oh, and wewt. :nod: I just really absolutely adore the songs on this album. Even the lyrics to Silver Girl are excellent (hearing it...eh..not so much).

Song of the moment - My Heart Beat Like A Hammer

[Cammie]

:wavey: Most are wonderful...
but these are our favorites!

"Somebody's got to see this thru'...
The whole world is laughing at you!
Somebody'd got to sacrifice...:eek:
If this whole thing is gonna' turn
out right!" from Bleed to Love Her

" ONCE YOU said GOODBYE to ... ME
Now I SAY GOODBYE to ... YOU!":cool:

from Say Goodbye...our all time favorite!
Lindsey sings it with a Country feel!;)Sky:)

[cliffdweller]

There are so many!! This is hard.

From Red Rover:
"And the lips you were kissing
night after night--
all were bathed in blue, all bathed in white."

From Illume:
"It's just like a river
oooh it's never ending
I cannot pretend that the heartache falls away."

"I like the coastal cities I like the nights
I like the way the ocean blends into the city at night
It's like living on a working river coastline is glittering
like a diamond snake in a black sky."

From WTWCT:
"There's no truth in my lies
There's no light in my eyes
And it's all I guess
That I'll ever miss."

From Thrown Down:
"You can sit outside his door and wait
Well you can dedicate your pain to him."

"I've shaken your faith in me, no
You've shaken my faith in everything else
A decision noone made
And now you're going home."

From Say Goodbye:
"I fall down I get up
And I've always had to fight
all the things that were wrong
For all the things that were right."

From SYA:
"All alone we suffer."
