Favourite line in a Manics song?

[Sandrine]

For now I am sorry but I can't choose between these lines (I refrained myself to write down a whole song, I can't decide what is my favorite line from it) :

"Just a kid acting like I used to be" / "Afraid of the sun, so afraid of the sky"

"All the faces I love their skin as soft as leprosy"

"But if you look at me, you better look twice, I'm talking rubbish to cover up the cracks"

"Where did it all go wrong ?"

[whiscat]

From "Slash N' Burn"

Gorgeous poverty of created needs

Summed up that entire album for me that lyric.

Thank you !
I should have to stick to my initial idea for that thread : write down Some Kind Of Nothingness in full

"If black were truly black not grey,
It might provide some depth to pray,
To black out all the words of men,
And demons too but not even then..."

This song is well and truly into my head at the moment. Beautiful.

Also...
"Drop your bombs on all I see,
Leave this world alone for me"

The Wire's finest lyrics in my opinion, you can keep ADFL.

poor Morrissey. if he wasn't insufferable I'd feel bad for him and his lack of vegan ice-cream options

So true...

Madonna drinks Coke and so you can too
Taste's real good not like a sweet poison should

Those lines.

I could listen to "Solitude Sometimes Is" all day, as much for the words as for the state the music puts me in.

'Drop your bombs on all I see' is one of the best sung lines ever!
Perfect lyric beautifully sung
