Peter Murphy.. My favorite lyric from "Wish"
Wish I was a nomad
Living in your land
An Irish tinker
Drinking juice of rose
From your hand
Wish I was a beggar
Waiting at your door
A-ha.. from "Cry Wolf"
You can start, but you cannot stop
You give in, but you can't give up
You can tell all your desperate jokes
To a world that puts your
Love on hold
The The.. from "True Happiness This Way Lie"
I ain't ever found peace upon the breast of a girl
I ain't ever found peace with the religion of the world
I ain't ever found peace at the bottom of a glass
Memorable Quotes from
O.C. and Stiggs (1987)
[O.C. and Stiggs are at Lenora Schwab's wedding and are fooling with the Uzi they gave as a present.]
Randall: Hey, whatcha got?
Stiggs: Randall, how would you like to have more fun than you've ever had in your life?
Randall: I don't know. I've had a lot of fun. I have Legos, you know.
