Your favorite line from a Smiths/Morrissey song

"And people who are uglier than you and I /They take what they need, and just leave"

"The story is old, i know, but it goes on"

"And reason and freedom is a waste / It's a lot like life" (although the delivery of this line massively biases me)

and then a bunch of others already mentioned...
 
My favourite at the moment is "Leather elbows on a tweed coat. Oh! Is that the best you can do?"

It makes me laugh.
 
Well I was 15 / what could I know?
basically all of Maladjusted is one classic line after another.

I could list the details
of everything you ever wore
or said, or how you stood that day

Impossible, the whole song is great.
 
These things take time,
and I know that I'm
the most inept that ever stepped...

Mine too. I had a bunch of awkward moments last night and this song started buzzing in my head and I thought "I love you Morrissey."
 
And I'm ashamed of myself - as usual

is another great line. Sums up my life pretty well.
 
" This is the last song i will ever sing, Oh i've changed my mind again. Goodnight and thank you."
 
And as I climb into an empty bed. Oh well... enough said.
I'm just passing through here, on my way to somewhere civilized. And maybe I'll even arrive.

Too many great lines.Very inspiring too
 
My favorite line in the moment

"Dear God, please help me
And I am so very tired
Of doing the right thing"

I need God right now!!!
 
Life Is Never Kind

When I`m lying in my bed I think about Life and I think about death and neither one particularly appeal to me

I am a poor freezingly cold soul so far from where I intended to go

And many ,many more.
 
Some heartbreaking lines:
sleep on and dream of love, because it's the closest thing you will get to love.
see the sea wants to take me, the knife wants to slit me, do you think you can help me? sad veiled bride please be happy...well, ALL the song, actually.
you had no real way of knowing in my heart I begged take me with you, I don't care where you're going
why did you stick me in self deprecating bones and skin, do you hate me?
if you have 5 seconds to spare, then i'll tell you the story of my life etc...
Some lines that always make me smile:if it's not love, then it's the Bomb...
can you squeeze me into an empty page of your diary and psychologically save me?
let me cry on your shoulder, I've heard that you try anything twice.
how can you stay with a fat girl who'll say would you like to marry me and if you like you can buy the ring.
and now I know how Joan of Arc felt...
caligula would have blushed
Some genius opening lines:trouble loves me, trouble needs me, 2 things more than you do
punctured bicycle on a hillside desolate, will Nature make a man of me yet?
the sanest days are mad...
I am a poor freezingly cold soul
I decree today that life is simply taking and not giving etc.
And many more...
 
Does The Body Rule The Mind Or Does The Mind Rule The Body?

Fifteen Minutes With You I Wouldn`t Say No

I Would Go Out Tonight But I Haven`t Got A Stitch To Wear

I know that somebody already mentioned this one but it`s one of my favorites.

I Don`t Get Along With Myself And I`m Not Too Keen On Anyone Else
 
I dreamt about you last night
And I fell out of bed twice
You can pin and mount me like a butterfly
But "take me to the haven of your bed"
Was something that you never said
Two lumps, please
You're the bee's knees
But so am I

I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
'Cause you're evil
And you lie
And if you should die
I may feel slightly sad
But I Won't Cry
 
For whether you stay, or you stray, an inbuilt guilt catches up with you and as it comes around to your place at 5 a.m. wakes you up and it laughs in your face

But that joke isn't funny anymore, it's too close to home and it's too near the bone, it's too close to home and it's too near the bone, more than you'll ever know

and many more.....
 
scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen
(this means you really love me)

Looking up at the sign
It said "Please Keep Away"
And so in I ran
You see, I'll never learn
 
Kind-hearted view me and say 'thank god that's not me'.


Why do I smile at people who I'd much rather kick in the eye?
 
So how did I end up so deeply involved in the very existence I'd planned on avoiding?
