What's you favorite 'The National' lyric quote?

You can post as many as you like.

Mine are:

Turn the light, out say goodnight
No thinking for a little while
Let's not try to figure out everything at once
It's hard to keep track of you falling through the sky

Especially the underlined sentence, from Fake Empire.

and

Hey, love, we'll get away with it
We'll run like we're awesome, totally genius

From The Geese of Beverly Road.

Wow, this is almost like choosing your favorite parent. I have at least ten quotes, but after a while I was able to narrow it down to the five I like most:

This precious stuff makes me dizzy, I guess I've always been a delicate man (Lemmonworld)

Break my arms around the one I love, and be forgiven by the time my lover comes (Daughters of the Soho Riots)

Just say something perfect, something I can steal (Baby, We'll Be Fine)

You know I've dreamed about you for 29 years before I saw you (Slow Show / 29 Years)
and of course this (from Mr. November):

Wow, this was really difficult!! I adore every word of The Geese of Beverly Road and Slow Show, as they are my 2 favorite tracks. Recently I've been re-visiting their older stuff and a couple lines in Cold Girl Fever just hit me like a ton of bricks!!

Put your spine in your back and your arms in your coat
Don't hold on to me when there's nothing to hold
(Cold Girl Fever)

a few more...

The sun fell behind you and never stood up.
(All Dolled-Up in Straps)

another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults
(Mistaken for Strangers)

can't forget their most recent gem

I was in a fog, I didn't notice everything
Was coming all apart inside of me
There wasn't anyway for anyone to settle in
You made a slow disaster out of me

(You Were A Kindness)

I'll end the post here, since I could sit here and quote them all night! Soooo damn good!!

love for words

I love Matt's words, they are the reason i fell in love with them in the first place. I have listened the National for many years now and some of the songs are medicine for me.

First of all, i love: "Didn't anybody, didn't anybody tell you
Didn't anybody tell you, this river's full of lost sharks" - Secret Meeting.

"Oh, come, come be my waitress and serve me tonight
serve me the sky with a big slice of lemon" - the Geese of Beverly Road.

"They’ll find us here here here in the guest room
where we throw money at each other and cry, oh my" - Guest Room

"Everything I love gets lost in drawers" and "I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away" - Slow Show

"Falling out of touch with all my
friends are somewhere getting wasted,
hope they’re staying glued together,
I have arms for them." - from Green Gloves

"you keep changing your fancy fancy mind every time I decide to let go" - Brainy.

"Sorrow found me when I was young,
Sorrow waited, sorrow won" - Sorrow

"The sun fell behind you and never stood up.
" - From my favorite song All Dolled up in Straps.

It's really hard to choose though, I also love the ironic ending in Cold Girl Fever. And I must add, "Danh42, you have an exceptionally good taste in music and lyrics!

So many... these are stuck to my earlids:

Ada don't stay in the lake too long, it lives alone and it barely knows you. - ADA

You wouldnt want an angel watching over, surprize, surprize, they wouldn't want to watch..another uninnocent elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults - Mistaken for Strangers

I'm a birthday candle in a circle of black girls. God is on my side, cause I'm the child bride. So sorry but the motorcade will have to go around me this time...-
All the Wine

They're going to send us to prison for jerks for having vague ideas of how to turn each other on. - Guest Room

Lay me on the table, put flowers in my mouth and we can say we invented a summer love-in torture party
- Lemonworld

Someone send a runner through the weather that I'm under for the feeling that I lost today. - England

Just saw them last night at Beacon Theatre, so amazing!

It's a common fetish for a doting man
To ballerina on coffee table, cock in hand
-Karen

Karen, put me in a chair, fuck me and make me a drink
I've lost direction and I'm past my peak
I'm telling you, this isn't me, no, this isn't me
Karen, believe me, you just haven't seen my good side yet
-Karen

In case you hadn't guessed, I love Karen!!

I'm a confident liar
-Conversation 16

I am in love with the first vers in Vanderlyle crybaby geeks :

Leave your home
Change your name
Live alone
Eat your cake

And then the quote: We're half awake in a fake empire, from fake empire, boxer..

And last and not least, as my man dougffunny already shouted out : I'm a confident liar from Conversation 16! :-)

my favourite3 have to be:

you own me, luck you - lucky you (sums everyones life up in 5 words)

break my arms around the one i love - daughters of the soho riots (agony about not being able to hold on forever)

you know i dreamed about you, i missed you for 29 years - 29 years (good things come to those who wait)

'Man of simple pleasures'
