great line in a song- your up

It doesn’t mean that much to me, to mean that much to you. 

Neil Young

 

 

If you don’t stand up, you don’t stand a chance. 

Genesis

 

 

 

Had a buddy in college who made his dorm room available for anything you wanted to write on his wall. He painted over it at the end of the year, but I had those two up there.

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey. 
Butane in my veins so I'm out to cut the junkie.
With the plastic eyeballs, spray paint the vegetables. 
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose.


Beck - Loser

 

My favorite line from that song is:

 

And my time is a piece of wax

Falling on a termite.

Who's choking on the splinters.

"No, his mind is not for rent

To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent
But change is." - Neil Peart

"First to fall over when the atmosphere is less than perfect
Your sensibilities are shaken by the slightest defect
You live you life like a canary in a coalmine
You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line
You say you want to spend the winter in Firenza
You're so afraid to catch a dose of influenza
You live your life like a canary in a coalmine..."

 

~Canary in a Coalmine, The Police 

 

"...Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat
My comfortable existence is reduced
To a shallow, meaningless party
Seems that when some innocents die
All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine
Too many cam'ras and not enough food
Cause this is what we've seen
Driven to tears..."

 

~"Driven to Tears," The Police

Are lines and paragraphs now the same thing?   :)

 

I kid, all that’s good is good. I was just trying to stick to a single line. 

I don't  know when to stop.  So I encompass the whole thought.  It's  probably  too much.

I guess... multiple  good lines  in one

stanza.
