.....tell me your favorite line’s’?

[jerry lee]

I can't believe no one's said


"Come on courage.... Teach me to be shy"


It just comes out and at you from left field in the song.


I love it

[fondusquirrel]

Yea the French ain't makin sense but I think thats because you haven't put in the second part of La Fille Danse.. It's kinda d same but Lisa sings some words different. If u listen to the live stream of Proffesoron Damo's website you'll hearit. I'd really love to hear what it all means soFrench people-WE NEED YOU!


Fav Line-"Mama tried to wash their faces but these kids lost their graces, and Daddy lost at the races too many times.."


Fav non Damo line-"Step out the front door like a ghost into a fog where noone notices the contrast of white on white"- Round Here, Counting Crows from "August and Everything After"

[irradiato]

Still a little piece of your face i haven't kissed

[Si_B]

I dunno bout the best lyric but surely the most exciting part of the album is when "Come on ye reborn blow off my horn....." kicks in. Always gets me shakin my ass!

[Miss Pink]

<DIV>Lisa's frenchbit : The Dancing girl, when she plays with me, and I think they are the times I like, the silence, no one dares to speak, when we are together, put the words on the little bed time.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>damien's bit:
the girl dances when she plays with me in the rain, i miss her, why? i don't know, it’s the song, the night, the wind, the little sleeping sound, open the book, where a full poem was settled in her heart then, at the same time we're holding hands, we're walking by and talking of everything and anything. </DIV>
<DIV>Have I helped?</DIV>

~i saw a space ship, fly by your window, did you see it? dissapear~

[celia]

I can't take my mind off of you, till I find somebody new


why d’ya sing hallelujah
if it means nothin’ to ya



there’s still a little bit of your song in my ear
there’s still a little bit of your words i long to hear


I'll get a cheaper ticket next time, it really wasn't worth the ride

"But remember when I moved in you/ And the Holy Dove was moving too/ And every breath we drew was Hallelujah"


THAT is love. Love trapped in words. And they said it couldn't be done. Sheesh.


"Maybe there's a God above/But all I learnt from love/ Is how to shoot somebody that outdrew you"


Just resonates in me in a particular way today. As does the whole of "Be my husband" as covered by Jeff Buckley. From Leonard Cohen/Nina Simone to Jeff Buckleyand Damien Rice. Perfectly sensible. It's not that Lisa Hannigan didn't sing it lovelily (tee hee) just the Jeff Buckley one takes you to a crowded drunk house with an uninterested lot of sweaty men smelling of bourbon and tobacco near some river, in the middle of some too hot too humid summer. Swear it blows me away. And he's still there, singin' the blues, his heart a protest. Ah!

[Si_B]

In delicate where he sings "why do you sing hallelujah?", is that referring to the Jeff Buckley/Leonard Cohen song or does it have another meaning?

Both I'd say dont the 2 songs run into each other? Its prob bout a girl who sang hallelujah and betrayed Damo or sth. Oh i dont know so dnt quote me its jst my crazy spin on it

[cille]

i like this:


'life goes easy on me' with that fab continuation:


'- most of the time'


and then the beginning of 'the professor' ('I don't know if I'm wrong...') won't leave my head these days, the way that the words and the tune just fits together is amazing. That Damien is simply a songwriter in the best possible sense.[img]smileys/smiley32.gif[/img]

[Miss Pink]

woo yeah (really dont know why i wrote that)

[Patricia]

Trisha are we havin our own little crazy word party?


WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Louise]

you feel it when they take it away...

[slein]

Out in the mangroves
The mynah birds cry
In the shadows of sulphur
The trawlers drift by
They're chewing dried meat
In a house of disrepute
The dust of opiates
And syphilis patients
On brochure vacations

Hi at the moment my favorite lines seem to beanything out of Blowers Daughter, Blowers Daughter Part 2 and Delicate. i don't know why but they really seem to be touchimg.

[maccas81]

for me its hard to beat the tag at the end of blowers daughter into cannonball.....'cant take my eyes.....until i find somebody'....followed by the lovley little e minory type (i know purists will say that is not e minor technically cos of the whole capo 6th fret thing) riff at the start of cannonball....a moment of sheer magic!

[naestopaz]

Hi Northstar...I am probably late....Haven't been able to read through yet...but uh ".......Paper Mache....", not so much a line...as a portion that I love hearing Damo sing live!

[esten]

fav damien line: "lord can you hear me now? or am i lost?" or "you gave me three cigarettes to smoke my tears away"

fav non damien; "and while you wallow in your wounds
you let the devils draw near. one more mile is all we have. you got nothing to fear." tom mcrae
