LadyRadarEars Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 On patrol in sector seven, keeping watch on Barber's sun, They were jumped by three light cruisers though they wern't a match for one. As they came to general quarters and they sent out the alarm, Dawson's crew was sure they'd finally bought the farm. No one living saw that battle though the fleet was quick to leave. When they reached the site they found a scene no sane man could believe. Dead in space lay three light cruisers, cut to ribbons all around, But no sign of Dawson's Christian could be found. -Duane Elms "Dawson's Christian" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falaffel Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Nice meaningful quotes here. Here's my not-meaningful quote: Hot Pizza, Hot Pizza, Hot Pizza -Grum "Heartbeats" Now, I'd feel pretty bad If I didn't do something even slightly serious, so: I'm the colorless sunrise, That's never good enough, I'm the wind that's in your hair, That ruffles you up, If you can find a reason, You can let me know, I won't blame you, I'll just turn and go. -Imagine Dragons "Every Night" And as a bonus, the little lyric bit that's stuck in my head: She pushed her feet across the board walk She keeps the sunset right with movement in her eyes She knows she gets away with murder Swallows up your heart of gold And I don't know just where we've got to go -Whitewoods "Beach Walk" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazerMaster5 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Fear breeds contempt in the hear of a man One has to question this common trait - Why do we hate what we don't understand? Forced into a body and damned with intelligence Shoved into a soul, wired with circuitry you cannot control A tradition so ancient that evolution will circumvent Hell-bent on ideals instilled since birth A price on life - the fleshes worth Somewhere in this organism's development A separate path taken - possible defect awakened Some feel it was simply a choice and use morality To strengthen their voice -Cattle Decapitation, "Forced Gender Reassignment" Just some social commentary before the splatter begins.

Vaer Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 "I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same, A window and a pigeon with a broken wing, You can spend your whole life working for something, Just to have it taken away. People walk around pushing back their debts, Wearing paychecks like necklaces and bracelets, Talking about nothing, not thinking about death, Every little heartbeat, every little breath. People walk a tightrope on a razors edge. Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons. It could be a bomb, or a bullet, or a pen, Or a thought, or a word, or a sentence." - Ain't No Reason' by Brett Dennen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossa Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 "Let's see, uh then one evening The snake was walking about in the garden And he was talking to himself And he saw the woman, and they started to talk And they became friends, very good friends And the woman liked the snake very much Because when he talked, he made little noises with his tongue And his long tongue was lightly licking about his lips Like there was a fire inside his mouth And the flame would come dancing out of his mouth And this woman liked this very much And after that, she was bored with the man Because no matter what happened He was always as happy as a clam What did the snake say? Yes! What was he saying? Okay, I will tell you The snake told her things about the world He told her about the time When there was a big typhoon on the island And all the sharks came out of the water, yes They came out of the water And they walked right into your house With their big white teeth And the woman heard these things and she was in love And the man came out and said, "We have to go now" And the woman did not want to go Because she was a hothead Because she was a woman in love Anyway, they got into their boat and left the island But they never stayed anywhere very long Because the woman was restless, she was a hothead She was a woman in love And this is not a story people tell It is something I know myself And when I do my job, I am thinking about these things Because when I do my job, that is what I think about" Laurie Anderson, 'Langue D'amour', @1978/80 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarcastic Coffeecup Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Chequered light buildings falling from the sky. Sway as they climb into your eye. They're taller now Everything has changed. From an empty frame stares a distant face Can he see me? At night and all alone? In a flash I see the face is mine Hanging from the mantlepiece is why I say I could go back to the place where all keep is keeping on, where everyone pretends that they belong and long and long. If I tell you what I'm seeing, can you tell me what is true? In the space between my feelings, there's a place for me and you.
