Technically, if you were to quote from a Pinhead Gunpowder song, it would be quoting Aaron Cometbus and not Billie Joe, so I'll refrain from quoting from Pinhead Gunpowder although I do love Aaron with all my heart.

My favorite line is "Stranded lost inside myself My own worst friend And my own closest enemy" because of how it describes the battles you have with yourself.

Billie's such a lyrical genius. :wub: It's hard to narrow down to a few favorite lines.

you said a line so I'm actually going to follow the prompt and go with "It's not what you make, It's what you leave"

"So make the most of this test and don't ask why, it's not a question but a listen learned in time."

It's " But a lesson learned in time"

Maybe just because the hit in the beginning makes me want some

Well I love that part, too. Maybe not because of the lyrics, but because of the way it's sung. There's so much passion and pain at the same time in Billie's voice that makes me adore it.

'well, hell hounds on your trail now once again, boy, it's groping on your leg until it sleeps. The emptiness will fill your soul with sorrow, cause it's not what you make, it's what you leave."

"wish in one hand, shit in the other and see which one gets filled first"

there are many more, it's hard to chose...

:lol: I must say, my sister and I believe that while we already adore Redundant, the fact he uses the wonderful word "shtick" increases it's greatness by 100% :D

I always giggle a little like a 14 year old when the Redundant video comes on. Because you can't see what his hands are doing most of the time so you just see his arms moving and it looks... suspicious XD :shifty: I need a life.

A few more that I love

Or did he hide away from hopes

I have a lot...

JOS

The motto was just a lie

It says home is where your heart is

But what a shame

Cause everyone´s heart

Doesn´t beat the same

It´s beating out of time

Letterbomb

Standing still when it's do or die

You better run for your fucking life

It's not over 'till you're underground

It's not over before it's too late

This city's burnin'

It's not my burden

It's not over before it's too late

She

Are you locked up in a world that's been planned out for you?

Scream at me until my ears bleed.

I'm taking heed in just for you.

who wrote holden caulfield?

There's a boy who fogs his world and now he's getting lazy

there's no motivation and frustration makes him crazy

He makes a plan to take a stand but always ends up sitting

Someone help him up or he's gonna end up quitting

sorry if is too much

Bwahaha, that's exactly the kind of thing I never forget. I know I'll now think that every single time I watch the video or hear the song.

A permanent edition to the long list in my mind of hidden Green Day filth :thumbsup:

I am loving this thread, not least because when my favorite lyrics jump out at me just being in this mind set makes them stick a little longer. Just heard this one, with which I always identify (bull-in-a-china-shop as I am). I don't think I've seen it in here yet, but my memory's getting a bit hazy.
