I couldn't find a thread on this topic, and if there is one, please direct me to it...

What are your all-time favorite Regina song lines? Be they funny, wise, ironic, inspiring, or relevant to your own personal experiences, post them here and check out everyone else's favorites!

I think the line:

"I should of held an after party for all the thoughts I didn't say"
In Dusseldorf is epic. so true.

andd

"Atheists were praying full of sarcasm"
in genius next door

&
"we leave the sound on cause silence is harder"
in Consequence of sound


just to start the thread off

"If you never say your name out loud to anyone, they can never ever call you by it." Better (so true, with so many applications)

"No this is how it works: You peer inside yourself, you take the things you like, then try to love the things you took. And then you take that love you made, and stick it into some- someone else's heart, pumping someone else's blood." On the Radio (my new life philosophy)

"And pickles are just pickles: Water, salt, cucumbers, garlic, and pickling spices."- Reading Time with Pickle (is this a legit song lyric? This woman rocks!)

"We keep on burying our dead. We keep on planting their bones in the ground. But they won't grow. The sun doesn't help. The rain doesn't help."- Lacrimosa (woah soak in the irony. What an unique way of looking at things...)

"Why am I supposed to love if I don't want to love? Why am I supposed to? I'm so tired..." Time is all Around (who hasn't been there?)

"I've got a perfect body, but sometimes I forget. I've got a perfect body, 'cause my eyelashes catch my sweat."- Folding Chair (the epitome of Reginka's unique sense of humor. This line brings me indescribable bliss every time I hear it)

"And it was raining cats and dogs outside of her window, and she knew they'd be destined to become sacred roadkill on the way. And she was listening to the sound of heaven shaking, thinking about poodles and puddles and mistakes."- Braille (start with a cliche, tack on some figurative language and intense imagery amidst a bleak storyline and gorgeous piano, topped off with a clever pun. Only Regina can do that.)

"There's so many lucky pennies lying on the floor. But where the hell are all the lucky people? I can't see them any more..."- School is Out (just a really cool line)

"Down in Paris, they walk fast. That is, unless they're walking slow."- Ne Me Quitte Pas (thanks for explaining that, Ms. Spektor)

omg i agree with these soo much. The first one because I can relate it to me being so independent and feeling like I have to love when i just cant

& the second because its so true.


I was going to post these later but you already did. just wanted to comment on these
---------------------------------------

Okay here are some more

Dulce:
"You can't spend your whole life
Waiting for God to kiss you"
so true. basically my motto to live life to its fullest.

Dulce (again! <3)

"it's harder
Than it's ever been before
Things that used to comfort me
Don't comfort me anymore"

Musicbox:

"And everyone inside the mechanism
Is yearning to get out
And sing another melody completely
So different from the one they're always singing"
who doesnt feel like they want to step out of their shell and do something different?

"I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours"
Apres Moi

Bartender:
"Love will be the best of me, love is so fickle.. it starts with a flood and then ends with a trickle"
best comparison ever.

ugh i have soo many ideas but just cant do em all haha.

Oh who cannot forget the epic

"But love is the answer to a question
that I've forgotten
But I know I've been asked
And the answer has got to be love"

cant even explain why i love that line. maybe its just love?

From Dead Rat:
"What's one less in a world of so many when only mushroom clouds can leave ripples on our souls?"

Also: "Good is better than perfect."

I love this one from "On the Radio"

"This is how it works.
You're young until you're not.
You love until you don't.
You try until you can't.
You laugh until you cry.
You cry until you laugh.
And everyone must breathe.
Until their dying breath."

"Today We're younger than we're ever gonna be"

hi all, i'm new to this. just felt compelled to sign up

some good lines that stand out to me:

"There is an old meatball wrapped inside of tinfoil lying on the bottom shelf of our fridge
a lesson in how fleeting preservation is..."
&
from soho: "but we suck on our cigarettes
as if one day they will save us
as if one day they'll return a favor
as if one day they will crave us..."

"But the most special are the most lonely...
God I pity the violins...
In glass coffins they keep coughing,
they've forgotten, forgotten how to sing, how to sing."

All The Rowboats

"Yo girl. Can't you watch where you are? You don't watch where the hell you're going, you're gonna get yourself killed."

Belt

"I loved you first."

Samson. I dunno why. I just like it.

"Leaves become most beautiful when they're about to die, when they're about to fall from trees, when they're about to dry up."

Time Is All Around

"Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune or to take arms against a sea of troubles, troubles, troubles..."

The Virgin Queen. Gotta love Shakespeare.

"Some songs are catchy but they don't touch the soul."

Uncle Bobby. So true!

"So darling let go of her hand, darling let go of her haaaaaaaaaaannd..."

Patron Saint

...Oh yay, 150th post!

8th floor:

"And you can't really say
that it's an eight floor branch
cause trees don't have floors
and buildings do."

There are so many great lines I can't write them all in one post. I think I'll post a different one every few hours
