Two of my fav.

everyday glory

 

In the house where nobody laughs

And nobody sleeps

In the house where love lies dying

And the shadows creep

A little girl hides shaking

With her hands on her ears

Pushing back the tears

'Til the pain disappears

 

Mama says some ugly words

Daddy pounds the wall

They can fight about their little girl later

Right now they don't care at all

 

open secrets

 

It went right by me

At the time it went over my head

I was looking out the window

I should have looked at your face instead

"Today's Tom Sawyer he gets high on you and the space he invades he gets by on you."

 

"Catch the mist, catch the myth, catch the mystery, catch the drift."

 

"And the men who hold high places

Must be the ones who start

To mould a new reality

Closer To The Heart."

Blacksmith and the artist

Refect it in their art

They forge their creativity

Closer To The Heart

Philosophers and ploughmen

Each must know his part

To sew a new mentality

Closer To The Heart

You can be the captain

And I will draw the chart

Sailing into destiny

Closer To The Heart."

 

"1-0-0-1-0-0-1"

I actually have two, I love both.

"Too many hands on my time

Too many feelings

Too many things on my mind

When I leave I don't know

What I'm hoping to find

When I leave I don't know

What I'm leaving behind..."

 

~Analog Kid

 

and

 

"Growing up it all seems so one-sided

Opinions all provided

The future pre-decided

Detached and subdivided

In the mass production zone

Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone"

 

~Subdivisions

 

both on the album "Signals"

On the lighter side, I love the idea that we can get inside a dog's brain.

 

In a dog's brain

A constant buzz of low-level static

One sniff at the hydrant

And the answer is automatic

 

 

And when Geddy sings,

 

I'd rather be a tortoise from Galapagos

Or a span of geological time

than be living in these dog years

 

 

I just think that is a funny and memorable line

Love it when Neil takes well known sayings and makes a pun out of it.

I think it's neat too when he does that. My favorite twist on an old saying is "Let us not go gently to the endless winter night."

There are so many good passages, it's hard to choose. But if you put a gun to my head my favorite would have to be:

 

You can do a lot in a lifetime

If you don't burn out too fast

You can make the most of the distance

First you need endurance

First you've got to last

I liked all of the other ones posted, but I don't think anyone posted this one yet.

 

"Live for yourself -- there's no one else

More worth living for

Begging hands and bleeding hearts will

Only cry out for more"

My high school year book quote is as follows:

 

"Better the pride that resides

In a citizen of the world

Than the pride that divides

When a colourful rag is unfirled"

 

I chose that quote, because I graduated in 2002 which was not too far from 9/11. I was getting very sick of the fascist patriotic flag waving that was going on around then.

 

Look at how divided we are as a country and world right now.

Madrigal

 

When the dragons grow too mighty

To slay with pen or sword

I grow weary of the battle

And the storm I walk toward

When all around is madness

And there's no safe port in view

I long to turn my path homeward

To stop awhile with you

 

When life becomes so barren

And as cold as winter skies

There's a beacon in the darkness

In a distant pair of eyes

In vain to search for order

In vain to search for truth

But these things can still be given

Your love has shown me proof

 

This song always makes me feel better smile.gif

We each pay a fabulous price, for our visions of paradise, but a spirit is a vision with a dream... with a mission!

 

Also- We can walk our road together

 

If our goals are all the same

 

We can run alone and free, if we pursue a different aim

 

Let the truth of love be lighted

 

Let the love of truth shine clear

 

Sensiblity, armed with sense and liberty, with the heart and mind united in a single, perfect sphere.

Well, you can stake that claim

Good work is the key to good fortune

Winners take that praise

Losers seldom take that blame

If they don't take that game

And sometimes the winner takes nothing

 

and...

 

We go out in the world and take our chances

Fate is just the weight of circumstances

That's the way that lady luck dances

 

From Roll the Bones

Do u think "and the meek shall inherit the earth" is directly fromt he bible, or do u think neil just made it up?

I don't think most translations of the Bible use the "...and" before "the meek shall inherit the earth" - it's usually "Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth". However, Neil was FAR from the first to use the "and the meek shall inherit the earth" phrasing. We were discussing this on another board and I did a bit of searching and found it in books, speeches and other such sources going back as far as the early 1900's before I finally gave up looking biggrin.gif

static on your frequency

electrical storm in your veins

raging at unreachable glory

straining at invisible chains

 

and now you're trembling on a rocky ledge

staring down into a heartless sea

can't face life on a razor's edge

nothing's what you thought it would be

 

All of us get lost in the darkness

Dreamers learn to steer by the stars

All of us do time in the gutter

Dreamers turn to look at the cars

turn around and turn around and turn around

Turn around and walk the razor's edge

Don't turn your back

And slam the door on me

 

it's not as if this barricade

blocks the only road

it's not as if you're all alone

in wanting to explode

 

someone set a bad example

made surrender seem all right

the act of a noble warrior

who lost the will to fight

 

and now you're trembling on a rocky ledge

staring down into a heartless sea

done with life on a razor's edge

nothing's what you thought it would be

 

no hero in your tragedy

no daring in your escape

no salutes for your surrender

nothing noble in your fate

Christ, what have you done?

 

(I leave out the first verse because I've been out of school for too long, but the rest applies). I first really listened to this song while I was in the hospital after a suicide attempt. I think it hit me harder than all the therapy they gave me while I was there - and while it's no "magic pill" by any stretch of the imagination, when I'm getting down that low, I can listen to it and it helps me remember that there ARE other options, if I'm willing to turn around and work my way back to them, sort of like a tap on the shoulder bringing you out of a daze. Once when I was feeling really low, I actually wrote a poem in "response" to the song. Thankfully I don't feel that way very often:

 

Some days the pass is far too wide, the razor's edge too keen

To turn around and face the fear of future fates unseen

No more running, no more flight, the battle will begin

Against a monster deep inside, the enemy within

 

A weapon made of fear and rage to batter at the soul

The fear of hope, a rage at fate begin to take control

Then darker, darker spiral down, the way out is so far

Even for the dreamer who has learned to steer by stars

 

Other favourite Rush quotes:

 

"Ignorance and prejudice and fear go hand in hand" - Witch Hunt

 

"There is no love without pain" - Secret Touch

 

"See how it sings like a sad heart, then joyously screams out its pain... sounds that build high like a mountain or notes that fall, gently, like rain" - 2112 "Discovery"

I've got idols and icons, unspoken holy vows

Thoughts to keep well-hidden

Sacred and forbidden

Free to browse among the holy cows

 

Angels and demons dancing in my head

Lunatics and monsters underneath my bed

Media messiahs preying on my fears

Pop culture prophets playing in my ears

Thank you. There's a strong sense of understanding that comes from reading and seeing that others get it. Not something that happens often.
