What's the best line/lyric on the album?

[darklinensuit]

I don't know why, but I love the line in RTTG when Stevie sings "I'm runnin' in brilliant colors" - I love the delivery as well. (This song would make a great video - I see Stevie running toward the camera --- hey, if she can do the treadmaster every day, assuming her hip has healed! --- with all the intensity/rush of the I Can't Wait video and the colors of Every Day.)

What line hits you with full force?

- Jake

[Hawkeye]

From Smile at You, mainly for the delivery-

I am OLDER NOW, but i Stiiiiil ReMEMber

[wondergirl9847]

Lines I REALLY love:

"There's no truth in my lies
There's no light in my eyes" (a sad thing to think about because his eyes are such a beautiful blue and there's always a light!)

"do you feel the ooze as your brain drains out" (ICKY!! I love it!! LOL)

"you don't belong here, I guess you never did" (Sometimes, I feel that way...)

"that kind of fever dance" (goes along with Come...the word fever...I like it!!)

"love is the sweet surprise" (I have this one scrolling as my screensaver at work)

"think of me sweet darlin', everytime you don't come, can you feel the fever?" (speaks for itself LOL)

"my walls are flaming" ( ) Goes along with Come. LOL

"and so you run towards what you know is wrong" (we all have, I'm sure..)

"how she takes my breath away" (sigh...)

"I fall down, I get up, and I've always had to fight everything that was wrong, for the things that were right" (this line just ROCKS!!)

[darklinensuit]

Good picks, esp. the older now, flaming walls, and fever dance ones. I'm still getting to know the Lindsey lyrics on SYW, but I think these songs are his most lyrically thoughtful ever.
I find it ironic that Stevie's lyrics are getting easier to understand as she gets older (or are we just getting flakier - ha ha), but now we have all these questions about Lindsey's lyrics.

[GardenStateGirlie]

In no particular order....

"well, you can dedicate your pain to him"

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

"I am older now but I still remember"

Every lyric in EVERYBODY FINDS OUT and DESTINY RULES. I'm just obsessed....like, i just really love the album

[deribish]

I love the "like a diamond snake in a black sky..."
from Destiny Rules - I don't like it as much from Illume though.

[BlueGrass]

"There's No Truth In My Lies, There's No Light In My Eyes"

"Half Closed Eyes, An Unconscious Death"

"When The Night Is Cold And Still"

All of RR

[ejof17]

She gets on MIIIIIDNIIIIIGHT PLAAAAANE!!!!! She's done it a THOOOUUUUUSAAAND TIIIIMES!!!! I adore this at the end of EFO!!!

I love that whole last part!

[BlueGrass]

"You Know All Of Our Friends Are Gods, And They All Tell Us How To Paint Our Face"
- Sounds something like Steive would write, but I like it

[gldstwmn]

"that the spirits are ruthless with the paths they choose"

"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"

[macmar71]

The sands of time
like shatteirng glass went past me
like a tunnel to the sea~~~~



Definitely my favorite so far~~~

[golddustchic]

All of my favorites are mostly for delivery...


"she spends everyday waiting for the day....when EVERYBODY FINDS OUT" (I just love the way Stevie and Lindsey sing that line together!)

"oh I let you slip away; there was nothing I could do; that was so long ago; still I often think of you" (Greatness!)

And the last 2 verses of Illume...Stevie is just so damn passionate I LOVE IT!!

[Grainuaile]

From Thrown Down:

"You're not like other people...you do what you want to" [it's mostly in delivery. It just really sticks out in my head]

And from WTWCT:

"I can jump right off fall right into the ocean
I can come right out mean just what I say
But if I don't call for a reservation
They'll just turn me down turn me inside out"

[DownOnRodeo]

Wow this album is loaded with amazing lyrics...

Running through the garden... I'm running in brilliant colours!

Said I was gonna put God away, but I just can't make her go... can you feel the fever?

Illume, says the candle that I burn, a reflection in the window, all the way to Point Dume

And as my sig says:

I didn't understand then, but I understand now..

[estranged4life]

are the lyrics to the first verse of Destiny Rules & all of Murrow...My fave 2 songs so far...With Illume in close 3rd...Brian J.
