Best song, best line, best lyric RIGHT NOW

[Amy]

"All the lies that you make up / What's at the back of your mind ? / Oh, your face I can see and it's desperately kind / What's at the back of your mind ? /.

I don't recognise these lyrics. Is that the version on "The World Won't Listen"? The one on "Louder Than Bombs" opens with, "On a high-rise estate, what's at the back of your mind / A three-day debate on a high-rise estate, what's at the back of your mind?".

Edit: this version?



I still prefer the Louder Than Bombs version, but this is good..it's got a completely different 'feel' to it.

Figure how to be a friend to you-
God knows I'd like to.

there's a lot of girls in the world
(that are nothing like you.)

[Skylarker]

The version on The World Won't Listen is far superior. Sorry guys; it's a fact.

[Skylarker]

my love is as sharp
as a needle in your eye

you must be such a fool
(or very wise)
to pass me by

[Nina Budd]

never need to have to kiss me,
never need to ever touch me,
but you should have been nice to me

[Giselle]

And what a terrible mess I've made of my life
Oh, what a mess I've made of my life


No, I've never had a job
Because I'm too shy


I've seen you smile
But I've never really heard you laugh

[Giselle]

Plans, all those intricate plans,
Left like gloves on the railings,
Slipping through your hands.

[Skylarker]

I can't see the good things; just the bad things

[Skylarker]

I'll go there
through the window
in my sixteen-hole boots

[Pav1ova]

Take me, to the place I've been dreaming of
Where the grotesquely lonely meet the grotesquely lonely
and they whisper
just very softly
Please be mine Dearest Love

[Irregular Regular]

The sycophantic slags all I say: 'I knew him first, and I knew him well'

[Giselle]

I'm just passing through here
On my way to somewhere civilized
Maybe I'll even arrive...

[Irregular Regular]

They must be taken in hand...

[CrystalGeezer]

And his money is grabbed
And the air hangs heavy like a dulling wine

She is Famous
She is Funny
An engagement ring
Doesn't mean a thing
To a mind consumed by brass (money)


And though I walk home alone
I might walk home alone ...
...But my faith in love is still devout

[Skylarker]

I age by years at the mention of your name.

[Skylarker]

Somewhere along the way
my hopefulness turned to sadness
Somewhere along the way
my sadness turned to bitterness
Somewhere along the way
my bitterness turned to anger
Somewhere along the way
my anger turned to vengeance

And the ones that I make pay were never the ones who deserve it
And the ones who deserve it, they'll never understand it.
Yes, I know I'm going to hell in a purple basket
'least I'll be in another world while you're pissing on my casket....

How could you be
so perfect for me

Why can't you ignore
the things I did before?

Somewhere along the way
exacting vengeance gave excitement
Somewhere along the way
that excitement turned to pleasure
Somewhere along the way
that pleasure turned to madness
But sooner or later that kind of madness turns into pain

And the ones that I made pay were never the ones who deserved it
Those who helped me along the way, I smacked 'em as I thanked 'em
Yes, I know I'm going to hell in a leather jacket
'least I'll be in another world while you're pissing on my casket
All that I can do is sing a song of faded glory
And all you got to is sit there, look great, and make 'em horny
Together we'll sing songs and tell exaggerated stories
about the way we feel today, and tonight, and in the morning...

How could you be
so perfect for me?
Why can't you ignore the things I did before ?

Take all your fears; pretend they're all true
Take all your plans; pretend they fell through

That's what it's like for most people in this world

the rich or the poor, Muslims or Jews-
when roles are reversed, opinions are, too

That's all I'm gonna say now, before they come knocking on my door.

Must have been a mistake. Moved to off-topic.

Oh, don't feel so ashamed
To have friends
