I can get the Lifeblood and TIMT ones because James sings properly in them. I can't work out virtually any off HB, GT and GATS!!

"NOT A SUBJECT AM I!" (Found That Soul)

Both for its angry delivery and because it makes me think of James dressed up as Yoda, which makes me laugh.

"Drug drug druggy"

Just a genius lyric.

But in all seriousness my favourite is

"There's nothing nice in my head
The adult world took it all away"

From "All We Make Is Entertainment"

And the sun will still keep rising
Always deflecting, always disguising

We're so postmodern
We're so post everything

"What's the point in always looking back, when all you see is more and more junk?"

Really resonates with me at the moment.

Grown up or backwards born,
Into eternity and black holes,
Floating around up here on my own,
Screaming at me, forever unknown.

I don't believe in absolutes anymore
I'm quite prepared to admit I was wrong

and

Oh you're old I hear you say
It doesn't mean that I don't care
I don't believe in it anymore
Pathetic acts for a worthless cause


(These are by no means my favorite songs but there's something very touching in these lines for someone who used to be young and idealistic.)

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


Little people in little houses
Like maggots small blind and worthless
The massacred innocent blood stains us all
Who's responsible - you fucking are


A drained white body hangs from the gallows
Is more righteous than Hindley's crotchet lectures
Pain not penance, forget martyrs, remember victims
The weak die young and right now we crouch to make them strong


To feel forgiveness you gotta forgive
It's lost on me, I believe in revenge


No you won't make a mess of me
For you're as blind as a man can be
I could have seen for miles and miles
I could have made you feel alive
I could have placed us in exile
I could have shown you how to cry


The insides of our nation have been exposed
It only confirms what we already know
Pointless jobs just lead to pointless lives
It's breaking up our bones it's breaking up our minds


There's beauty doing nothing at all
It's what you wanted, it's what you got
Your final search for truth has stopped


Kate and Kristin and Kit Kat
All things I like looking at
Too weak to fuss, too weak to die
Choice is skeletal in everybody's life


Winter leaves still make me believe


From the city to the sea
Will you all come follow me
To a place where we are free
Not tied to guilt or tied to greed


The music is going, the sun ain't showing
The printed word is all done and dusted
Don't be evil, just be corporate
Fool the world with all your own importance
The music is going, the sun ain't showing
Pretend technology made us equal
Don't be evil, just be corporate

Have my expectations gone too far again
Do I have the courage of the books I've read

And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,

That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all" - Emily Dickinson
