Oh yes.

[who's responsible?]

Some more of my favourites;

Your future glories all empty of thoughts,
There's beauty doing nothing at all.

Sleep can't hide the thoughts splitting through my mind.

Put your lipstick on,
At least your lies will be pretty.

There are just sooooo many to choose from.

[Smiling#Girl]

Some of my favs:

There's nothing nice in my head,the adult world took it all away.

Do not listen to a word I say,just listen to what I can keep silent.

Solitude the on thing I really miss,guess my life is a compromise.

"I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else"

and

"I repent, I'm sorry, everything is falling apart"

have both had resonance at many points in my life, as many of my favourite lyrics seem to do.

Some of those already mentioned
+
Beauty, she is scarred into man's soul
A flower attracting lust, vice and sin

The Levi jean will always be stronger than the Uzi

This life it sucks your principles away

We said the truth was fixed
It's lost without a trace

So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything

Solitude, solitude, the 11th commandment

[HunkyDory]

There are too many lines I adore. Here are *some* of them:

I want to walk in the snow and not leave a footprint. I want to walk in the snow and not soil its purity.

May I bud and never flower.

I've finally come to understand life through staring blankly at my navel.

The only certain thing that is left about me, there's no part of my body that has not been used. Pity or pain, to show displeasure's shame. Everyone I've loved or hated always seems to leave.

Junkies winos whores the nation's moral suicide. Loser - liar - fake or phoney, no one cares, everyone is guilty. Fucked up - dunno why - you poor little boy.

I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing.

I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else.

I have crawled so far sideways. I recognise dim traces of creation.

Heal yourself with sinner's salt.

Pass the prozac, designer amnesiac.

Very first second a screaming icon.

Words that once stroked now bruising tired lips.

My idea of love comes from a childhood glimpse of pornography.

In silken palms that tear bone from skin.

Realise how lonely this is, self-defeating, oh, fuck, yeah.

[pingu]

rock and roll is our epiphany//culture, alienation, boredom, and despair

I just adore this. can't even really articulate a reason. it's gloriously self-indulgent and arrogant and joyous all at once.

if god persists, persists in saying yes//I guess we'll have, we'll have to test ourselves

although I think Richey is the better writer of the two, Nicky has a way with a one-liner that I really admire.
