You know, when making submissions, I totally forgot some of my favourite quotes.. These two especially:
"I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand" - Joy Division
"You're going to reap just what you sow" - Lou Reed
(this is for the next time we do this )
"I can't believe, how strange it is to be anything at all" Neutral Milk Hotel
"There's a bear inside your stomach, Cubs been kicking you for weeks. And If this isn't just a dream, then we'll cut him from beneath." The Antlers
All my previous ones were too long, so here's another shot. One of my favorites (although you kind of need to be aware of the lines that lead up to it to fully appreciate it's brilliance):
"If booze was just a dime a bottle boy you couldn't even buy the smell" - Kris Kristofferson

It's already been four months since we voted the last lot of quotes onto the site, and I think its high time we added some more. Please, if anyone wants to suggest some more lyrics to go on the top banner of the site, do so on this thread.
Background:
At the top of every page on BEA, there is a line from a song which are nice to read but after a while you've read them all. Post here your favourite quotes from songs and we'll vote the best ones onto the site.
Rules:
Lyrics should be no longer than 80 characters (one or two lines of a song) to fit in the site masthead. They should be original (not cover versions), must not contain profanity, and should be recognizable to the vast majority of visitors. This is what 80 characters looks like:
When you leave your quote(s), please be sure to state who the artist is that performed it. (Otherwise, not everyone will know who it is from). There is a maximum of 50 quotes per person (otherwise voting will be unmanageable).
After a week or so, we'll draw up a short-list and vote the best quotes onto the site.
(N.B. any quotes submitted after the end of the last competition will automatically be included in the voting this time around, so no need to submit them again.)
