'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven ( a touching song in honor of his son, conor clapton. i cry every time i hear it.)

Your cool face, your cool face, your cool face

Do the evolution

Come on, come on, come on.

Queen:I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky

"Beauty walks a razors edge, someday I'll make it mine."

uh oh, someone just spurred a dylan montage.

"Her profession's her religion / Her sin is her lifelessness"

""Are birds free from the chains of the skyway?""

"But even the president of the United States sometimes must have to stand naked."

"Disillusioned words like bullets bark as human gods aim for their mark made everything from toy guns that spark to flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark it's easy to see without looking too far that not much is really sacred."

okay, that last one is technically a stanza but it's soooooooo good.

"I've been to sugar town I've shook the sugar down now I'm tryin' to get to heaven before they close the doors"

I could be here all night listing these. The three that just popped in my head are...

"I been to the edge, an' there I stood an' looked down,

you know I lost a lot of friends there baby, I got no time to mess around" ~Van Halen - Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love

"Your mind tricked you to feel the pain of someone close to you leaving the game of life" ~Queensryche - Silent Lucidity (actually I love ALL the lyrics of this song)

[Dariablue]

Compulsion has stained me

I'm nervously cradling our young love, without known limits love

Like a butterfly cupped in my hands I peek in to see beauty trapped

Confined it flutters

Then it leaves behind colorful dust

To remind me of the special times we've spent

But of course it has to leave my clutch

But enough's never enough to make a dent - No Doubt Too Late

I want to be the girl with the most cake - Hole Doll Parts

"Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness

And cleanliness is Godliness, and God is empty just like me"

Smashing Pumpkins - Zero

I love that one!

Born to Blossom - Bloom to Perish! Gwen Stefani

simple yet profound!

That's actually a No Doubt song that she took the lyrics from. But I agree, I love that line.

And I said, "Honey, I don't feel so good, don't feel justified

Come on put a little love here in my void"

He said, "It's all in your head"

And I said, "So's everything'" but he didn't get it

I thought he was a man but he was just a little boy - Fiona Apple Paper Bag

Theres a man on the corner selling dozens of bones

Every type of bone except the one that I want

Ever think what your eyes do when you're trying to sleep?

Or where your tongue rests, is it against your teeth?

Now, its bigger than us

Its bigger than anything it decides to touch

Asleep is the safest place you can be

You can try hard to catch it, it just catches you

Imagine a camera coming up from your feet

Relax all your muscles, son, just hope your hearts in one piece

Basically, all of 'As Dust Dances'.

[The Third Man]

When the weight of the world

bares down so strong

you leave footprints on the street

and there's too many miles to face

without a few more hours sleep

AND

when your faith is stretched so thin

that you can see straight through your soul

-Both from Fall Into Me...love the whole song

And though as long as this road seems

I know it's called the street of dreams

-SOD
