Best single lyric on WFTSC ?

What's everyone's favourite line from the album? Forget the melodies, or which tracks you like the most. I'm talking of purely the lyrics.

Mine's either 'You sure know a lot for a girl,' or 'My sleepless eyes are open wide.'

"I don't know where to turn when you're gone" off the WFTSC track

obviously, "you have the brighest future, writing songs on your computer"

from the title track, (who would have thought i could ever say title track from a new order album),

"What can I do just to make you see That you're so good for a man like A man like me."

You had your heart broke by a womanNow it doesn't work anymore.

I woke up in a drunken haze :D

"Turn your eyes from me..."

"I hit the floor in a pile of dust."

What does this ship bring to me Far across the restless sea Waiting for the sirens' call I've never seen it here before

JAY- EEE-TEE!

Or maybe not.

"You've got eyes like an old wounded soldier They cry tears to be lost in the wind"

i like this one, as well.

bloody sexist bastards!

*cough*

Just give me one more day (one more day)

hey

My immediate reaction was:

"You gotta look at life the way it oughta be Looking at the stars from underneath a tree"

...but it looks fairly crap on paper... I suppose a lot of Barney's lyrics work well in the context of the song with so many other things backing them up, but Sumner the poet? Maybe not...

Snorri xxx

"I worked hard just to keep you by my side Everyday and almost every night"

I'm currently liking

"Where did it all go wrong? House music all night long"

it's got to be "But is it where you wanna be? And is it what you wanna do?"

'I feel your presence everywhere, in the corner other there'

and

'What do want me to do? Take it all away from you'

in fact the whole of 'Turn' is the best from WFTSC

my vote goes for this one as well.. not the best poetic moment on the album.. but the best for me simply because it's so memorable and stands out.

'Computer' and 'know a lot for a girl' made me smile when I first heard them and still do.

'Turn' is the best lyrically...but noT musically IMHO.

Hey Now, What Hugh Doing?

Can Hugh wait, my plane will be arriving shortly

You are my Jetstream lover, your how I wanna be (just how I wanna be baby)

To Draculas Castle in the dark

Overtime (hey) overtime (hey)

"Turn around, don't come no closer, he took it from my shoulder holster"

"Why don't you put that gun right down before you kill the love you found"

I find the gun references a nod to TPK, plus I think this was my favorite live song off the WFTSC. Enjoyed it all four times I heard it....

Definitely:

"What does this shit bring to me?"

I just want some action Give me satisfaction

its an occupation i don't like, but it pays the rent and turns on the light
