Here's a thread I never tire of; the lines that spring to mind first tend to be from Hejira, viz: Pawn shops glitter like gold tooth caps In the grey decay They chew the last few dollars off old Beale Street's carcass Carrion and mercy And: In the church they light the candles And the wax rolls down like tears There is the hope and hopelessness I've witnessed thirty years And: A thousand glass eyes were staring In a cellar full of antique dolls And yes, it is my favourite album, to answer the other question. Azeem in London PS I also love those lines from A Case Of You which have been cited on the list, and remember snorting with derision at Brian Hinton's complete inability to grasp them in his much maligned book.
