Thank you for everybody's submissions. Listed below are all of the suggestions put forward since the last time we voted. I've trimmed the list by culling quotes over 80 characters, I've removed some duplicates that are already on the site, some that contain profanity, and others I've trimmed down to size where I could. 80 characters isn't a hard and fast rule, I've allowed several in the low 80s where the artist name is fairly short.

To make the vote easier to keep track of, each lyric has been assigned a sequence number.

Please keep the sequence number in your votes, or they won't be counted (sorry). There's no extra work for people to do since all you have to do is copy and paste the selections below (everything after the *** markers) into your post and delete the quotes you don't like.

Only your first post will count, so please try to get it right first time. Please don't vote twice or re-edit your vote afterwards (e.g. to change your mind after you've already voted) as this just complicates the tallying up of votes.

There are 82 quotes to pick from. I suggest everyone pick a maximum of 30 favourites, and the ones receiving the most votes in the next seven days will be added to the site. (If you list more than the stated number of votes, extra entries beyond the maximum will not be counted.)

The winning quotes will be tidied up/verified/corrected once the voting is complete, but if anyone spots any major errors, don't be shy to let me know! None of these quotes have been checked for correctness yet. These are pretty much directly copied from people's submissions with minor alterations to get them into one list. The list below will be updated for any corrections that people report in subsequent replies, and any duplicates already on the site will be removed.
