We can't dance, we don't talk much, we just ball and play

But we can move like tigers on vaseline

Well the bitter comes out better on a stolen guitar

You're the blessed, we're the spiders from Mars

You know who!! I loved that for so many years now. :D

PiL are great, another favourite line is :

We only wanted to finish the album with the minimum amount of effort

Which we are now doing very suc-cess-fully

Fodderstompf

Theres another line in that song, something like "I'm now about to express my frustration at society by spray this fire extinguisher into this microphone" :lol:

"Poke at my iris, why can't I cry about this

Maybe there is something that you know that I don't"

"I'll cut out the good stuff, yeah I'll cut off my foot to spite my leg"

"So twist and whisper the wrong name

I don't care and nor do my ears

Twist yourself around me

I need company

I need human heat"

"You won't find love in a hole

It takes more than fucking someone to keep yourself warm"

'Libraries gave us power

Then work came and made us free

But what price now for a shallow piece of dignity?

I wish I had a bottle

Right here in my dirty face to wear the scars

To show from where I came'

Good call!

"For $200 anyone can conceive a God on video

Hes a boy, you want a girl so tear off his cock

Tie his hair in bunches, fuck him, call him Rita if you want"

"Compton - Harlem - a pimp fucked a priest

The white man has just found a new moral saviour

Vital stats - how white was their skin

Unimportant - just another inner-city drive-by thing

Morning - fine - serve your first coffee of the day

Real privilege, it will take your problems all away

Number one - the best - no excuse from me

I am here to serve the moral majority"

"Stare at me with empty eyes and point your words at me

mirror on the wall will show you what you're scared to see"

and from the same song

"All this time I swore I'd never be like my old man

what the hell it's time to face exactly who I am"

- Alice in Chains

"For all of your kisses turned to spit in my face

for all that reminds me which is my place

for all of the times when you made me disappear

this time I'm sure you will know that I'm here

I know I'm headed for the bottom

but I'm riding you all the way"

- Soundgarden

"Show me the power child, I'd like to say

That I'm down on my knees today

It gives me the butterflies, gives me away

Till I'm up on my feet again

I'm feeling outshined"

and from the same song

"I'm feeling that I'm sober

Even though I'm drinking

I can't get any lower

Still I feel I'm sinking"

- Soundgarden
