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 mood

To take my place in back with the loudmouths

You're like a picture on a fridge that's never stocked with food

I used to live at home but now I stay at the house

 

Not sure why, but I always loved that verse.

Dang this is fun...here are a few more...

 

"Hush was the first word you were taught"

 

"ADD, PCP, F-U-C-K-E-D, that's me"

 

"We'll tell the ones who ask and the hell to those who laugh"

what are these from? love'em

I'll admit that I had to google that second one. They are, in order:

 

Merry Go Round (Mats)

Psychopharmacology (PW as Grandpaboy)

Now I Wonder (PW)

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, Tim

God, what a mess, on the ladder of success, you take one step and miss the whole first rung

Dreams unfulfilled, graduate unskilled, beats pickin' cotton and waitin' to be forgotten.

 

 

Lookin' Out Forever, PW Solo, Suicane Gratifaction

This one unfortunately just perfectly fits an ugly period in my life.

 

Ain't nothing else I can say, nothin' left to give her

Abandon the wind, I'm a bend in the river

 

Standing by the bank, they're calling me across

Think of me sometimes, when the river flows because

I'm lookin' out forever now,

I love you now forever now,

I love you now forever now, yeah

What they teach you to fix, needs to be broke

I 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!!!

 

Knockin on Mine - SNL

 

 

Favorite line at the moment (not already said):

 

"Lonely, I guess that's where I'm from"

 

I could listen to and/or read about Paul all day :D

Not a monumental Westerberg fan but this song and these lines just slay me every time.

 

 

Checking on her face

Checks his sleeve for his ace

And both just in case wear clean underwear

From Let It Be's "Androgynous"

 

"Don't get him wrong, and don't get him mad

He might be a father, but he sure ain't a dad"

Along the same lines....

 

"Well you got your father's hair

and you got your father's nose

but 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.
