Jeff
--- Quote ---Now she's a little boy in Spain/ playing pianos filled with flames

Those two lines, for whatever reason, immediately slay me. I think it's the way the words sound and feel when said, more than the imagery.
John
--- Quote ---The most remarkable thing about seeing you standing in the doorway is that it is you, and you are standing in the doorway
--- End quote ---
Um.
Also Will Sheff of Okkervil River because his songs make me cry.

I heard that Mangum might come back if he gets to tour with the Mountain Goats.
I don't believe it, but it would be awesome.
Those are two of my fave lyrics
Atom and his Package cover that second song (Going to Georgia). Its... odd. And maybe a bit wrong

You win for the most exciting rumor of the day. I will have to search for that Atom and his Package song... but I reallllly don't like them at all. But Going to Georgia is just so good!
Dimmukane:
Syriak
from Feasting Fools:
"I like my eggs broiled and that's it!"
Thrillho:
I'm going to add Henry Rollins to my previous list, for the entirety of 'TV Party' and for this part of 'Six Pack:'
My Girlfriend asks me which one I like better
(Six Pack) I hope the answer don't upset her...

Jeff Mangum
--- Quote ---Two headed boy
With pulleys and weights
Creating a radio played just for two
In the parlor with a moon across her face
And through the music he sweetly displays
Silver speakers that sparkle all day
Made for his lover who's floating and choking with her hands across her face
And in the dark we will take off our clothes
And they'll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine
And when all is breaking everything that you could keep inside
Now your eyes ain't moving now
They just lay there in their climb
--- End quote ---
Spencer Krug
--- Quote ---Well I've got a hand
So I've got a fist
So I've got a plan
It's the best that I can do
And I'll save, using god's hands
But god doesn't always have the best god damn plans does he?

I second these. Mangum is just brilliant and wolf parade, but even moreso frog eyes, have fantastic lyrics as well.
