Lyrically speaking...

ultra_ficI realised the other day that when I listen to music, I don't just have favourite artists, favourite albums, or even favourite songs, I have very specific favourite lyrics, certain lines that I feel strongly about, because they really say something or they just evoke an image in my head. There's quite a lot of them when I think about it, so I did think about it, and here's the list I came up with... so far.
"There's a shopping cart in the ravine, the foam on the creek looks like pop and ice-cream."
"I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering-ram on a silver-black phantom bike."
"Give me a second, I need to get my story straight, my friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State."
"Life's like a box of matches, sometimes the whole thing catches, and all you can do is watch it burn."
"We were shining like Aurora Borealis."
"I don't wanna touch you too much, baby, 'cause making love to you might drive me crazy."
"Life's a journey, not a destination, and I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings."
"When faced with dull and dutiful, they fire red warning flares, battle-khaki personalities with red underwear."
"When I wake up from seizures on an island full of slaves, all I see is smiles from the lack of brainwaves."
"Caught in the act, as a matter of fact, pants down to her knees. Saved by the bell, oh bloody hell, take your positions please."
"Come on in, sweetie pie, have an apple, have some lye, leave your friends, righteous and pathetic, standing at the door."
"Rule number seven says, 'Don't touch the women,' but they can grab whatever they want to."
"Heaven can wait, and all I've got is time 'til the end of time. I can't go back, I can't go back, let the alters shine."
"You played dead, but you never bled, instead you lay still in the grass, all coiled up and hissing."
"I wanna talk to you, I wanna shampoo you, I wanna renew you, again and again."
"Say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home."
"You're the reason I live, you're the reason I die, you're the reason I give when I break down and cry."
"I'm Supergirl and I'm here to save the world, but I wanna know, who's gonna save me?"
"It may sound absurd, but don't be naive, even heroes have the right to bleed."
"There's a shopping cart in the ravine, the foam on the creek looks like pop and ice-cream."
"I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering-ram on a silver-black phantom bike."
"Give me a second, I need to get my story straight, my friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State."
