I'll start: even when it's quite similar to the album title, it isn't the most important line of the record, or even the song, but I can't avoid singing when I hear it.

Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea

"From the aeroplane over the sea"

I'll say "and someday we will die and our ashes will fly". I just adore that song, and I love songs/albums that can infuse such joy into such sad songs. Like Funeral (Arcade Fire).

"Can I have some time alone? Can I have some time alone?"
Best part of that most singable song. And the story of my life.

always thought it was " time I had some time alone..."

i mean, it is (It’s time I had some time alone)

not to be nit picky...you know.

Its REM, though.


I always must sing "Into the mountain, I WILL FALL."

as well as every REM song of course.

KSR, I humbly submit that that's the correct lyric. For years, I walked around
work surrounded by 70 stressed-out people who urgently needed something
from me - and the only thing that kept me sane was singing that line in my head.


Frank lyrics you can't help singing are a whole other thread, man.

Thank you for that, Toba. Feel free to post his pic in the Pix of Beautiful Men thread.
I'm more into early REM Peter Buck.

On topic, people, on topic.

I like the "Out of Time" Stipe. As Tre does, I guess.

Young tortured reckoning stipe was beautiful, but I've been listening to reckoning recently so thats probably why.

I've got three REM songs on my little mp3 player at the moment

Country feedback for which I always sing the
I was central
I had control
I lost my head
I need this
I need this

gosh I have to check the others

Too many Morrissey lines to list here....

This comes to mind:

"Why pamper life’s complexities
When the leather runs smooth
On the passenger seat ?"

I promise I don't know why I took it. I catched it randomly and thought: "Hey! Why not?"

PS: Totally out of topic. Sorry.

speaking of:

Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking
When I said I’d like to smash every tooth
In your head

Oh ... sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking
When I said by rights you should be
Bludgeoned in your bed


wailed when in the house on your own, ooooh

Don't try to butter me up, kittie, after your assessment of
"Now my heart is full," one of the most chock-full-of-singable-lyrics
songs from one of the most singable albums.

so tell me how it is that Mr M manages to make the worst aspects of human paranoia and vocalise them in such away that if you sit and think about it you may not want to get out of bed the next day, not that there's anything wrong in that you understand but:

If you're so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
And if you're so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight ?

totally ruined my friday.

(sorry about the thread Xavi, I started well.....)

[edit] damn straight Toba, catch me in the wrong mood and I'll be sat moping out the window nursing a coffee and an ashtray crying that lyric like a moron, being a girl is GREAT!

Vol. 1

Everything is fine, kittie. I usually love to sing the darkest parts of a song. It makes me feel fine.

Oh you forgot the next few lines which are the most brutally best lines!!!!!!

"I know ...
'Cause tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each other's arms..."

Oh, Xavi, get in the Morrissey mood, won't you? Pull the shades against that cheerful sunshine,
hang you head, and listen to the sad lyrics. Then think about ending it all.

Xavi, I tried to respect your thread and not post a bazillion Morrissey lyrics, but Tre is taunting me...


"Sometimes i'd feel more fulfilled
Making christmas cards with the mentally ill
I want to live and I want to love
I want to catch something that i might be ashamed of"
