cryptique Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Impossible to choose, but the first thing to come to mind is the entire song "Here Comes A Regular," in particular: Sometimes I just ain't in the moodTo take my place in back with the loudmouthsYou're like a picture on a fridge that's never stocked with foodI used to live at home but now I stay at the house Not sure why, but I always loved that verse.

tugmoose Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Something about reading all these clever lines at once makes me think: "What an asshole!" Which probably says more about me than about Westerberg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

squarewave Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I know it's incredibly obvious as these lines are from one of their most popular songs, but where I am from nepotism runs rampant.... Bastards of Young, 'Mats, TimGod, what a mess, on the ladder of success, you take one step and miss the whole first rungDreams unfulfilled, graduate unskilled, beats pickin' cotton and waitin' to be forgotten. Lookin' Out Forever, PW Solo, Suicane GratifactionThis one unfortunately just perfectly fits an ugly period in my life. Ain't nothing else I can say, nothin' left to give herAbandon the wind, I'm a bend in the river Standing by the bank, they're calling me acrossThink of me sometimes, when the river flows becauseI'm lookin' out forever now,I love you now forever now,I love you now forever now, yeah Quote Link to post Share on other sites
parisisstale Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 What they teach you to fix, needs to be brokeI say he who laughs first didn't get the joke Luv that song. Thanks for that. Been waaaaay too long since I listened to that one. Classic!!!

TheMaker Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Offhand, I don't know, but my fav is probably from 14 Songs. That's the best record Westerberg's ever been involved with, IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calexico Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Not a monumental Westerberg fan but this song and these lines just slay me every time. Checking on her faceChecks his sleeve for his aceAnd both just in case wear clean underwear Quote Link to post Share on other sites

myboyblue Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 From Let It Be's "Androgynous" "Don't get him wrong, and don't get him madHe might be a father, but he sure ain't a dad"Along the same lines.... "Well you got your father's hairand you got your father's nosebut you got my soul" completely agree that this is a gold star thread. I'm not a fan-boy to many but Westerberg is brilliant. Lyrically, I don't think anyone can touch him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
parisisstale Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Just wanted to bump the thread, but here's another from The Maker's favorite: "I was smoking a roundieThank God you found me" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
