Thanks for all the great responses!
Looks like I've got my work cut out for me ;o)

Comment with a favorite song lyric.

Something that inspires you, moves you, or makes you look at the world differently.
I will create my next set of icons using imagery from them.
[please limit it to no more than 4 lines, thank you!]

all the other girls here are stars - you are the northern lights
they try to shine in through your curtains - you're too close and too bright
they try and they try but everything that they do
is the ghost of a trace of a pale imitation of you
i'll be the one to drive you back home kathleen

i know, five lines, wicked me! but the first line is the most important as far as i'm concerned. i just wanted you to have the rest of it for context. i'd love to see what you come up with - i don't have an icon for her yet. thanks!

It might destroy me,
But I'd sacrifice my body,
If it meant I'd get the Jack part OUT.
See. Jack. Run.

My ultimate favourite song ♥

She had a stroke at the age of 24
It could have been a brilliant career
Painting lines in a school
That was too well known
Is that okay?

I don't wanna be like other people are
Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car
Don't wanna have to work like other people do
I want it to be free, I want it to be true

The last line is my fave :-)

I wanna sleep with you forever
And I wanna die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm

shy, your light pops out
and we stand there astounded
and we pound our heads and shout
we shout halleluja
look what it did to ya

Are we growing up or just going down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
take our tears, put them on ice
Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light
There's a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up
And there's another around to help us bend your trust
I've got a sunset in my veins
And I need to take a pill to make this town feel okay

Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
And you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet,
Oh, I could drink a case of you darling,
And I would still be on my feet, oh I would still be on my feet...

Everywhere you go you shout it
You don’t have to be shy about it, no
Come on now show your soul
You’ve been keeping your love under control

I have two:

I want someone provacative and talkitive but its so hard when your shallow as a shower

And:
Thinking back i forgot to tell you this, i didn't care that you left and abandoned me, what hurts more is i would still die for you.

I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints

And Sometimes when you yearn
you burn the air
and someone else feels the flame
you always knew was there

when she knocked me over
i looked inside the hearse
sprouting chauvanistic swine
and written were the words
poking butter with this knife
allergic to this concubine

Suddenly my world has changed it's face
But I still know where I'm going
I have had my mind spun around in space
And yet I've watched it growing

http://emilyhaines.com/lyrics/crowdsurf.pdf - this song is one of my all-time favorites. in fact, it's hard to choose any 4 lines from it.. but i tried.

Are we breathing, are we breathing, are we wasting our breath?
It won’t be enough to be rich.
Rather give the world away than wake up lonely,
everywhere in every way I see you with me.

i ♥ emily haines
