"I wish I could make sense of what we do Burning down the capitols The wisest of the animals Who are you, what are you fighting for Holy truth, brother I chose this mortal life lived in perfect symmetry And maybe you find, life is unkind and over so soon There is no golden gate There's no heaven waiting for you"

"is it any wonder I´m tired?"

"You will lie in a deep sleep That's when your prince's crown Cracks and falls down Your castle hollow and cold You've wandered so far From the person you are Let go brother, let go 'Cause now we all know..."

"Who says a river can't leave its waters? Who says you walk in a line? Who says a city can't change its borders? Who says you're mine?"

"But I was made the way I am I'm not a stone I'm just a man Lay down your arms And I will lay down mine Rip back the time that we've been wasting"

"Say a word or two to brighten My day D'you think that you could see your way To lay yourself down? And make it so but you don't want to know You take much more than I'd ever ask for..."

"Where will I meet my fate? Baby I'm a man and I was born to hate And when will I meet my end? In a better time you could be my friend"

"And why do you say "It's just another day Nothing in my way I don't want to go I don't want to stay So there's nothing left to say?""

"I need a place That's hidden in the deep Where lonely angels sing you to your sleep Though all the world is broken"

"Who ate your heart? You're cold inside You're not the one I hoped for I'll see you on the other side I'll see you on the other side"

"I saw you Were sick and tired of my wrong turns If you only knew The way I feel I'd really love to tell you But I Can never find the words to say And I don't know why I can't find the words to say I don't know why..."

"The motion keeps my heart running"

"Humphrey B. Flaubert: I’m certainly always proud of everything we do. It’s sort of like when I’m proud of my poo. I look down on it and think "that’s well-formed, that means I’m healthy."

"Humphrey B. Flaubert: I would like to say, to all the people of Australia: "Kick me - I'm different.""

"Ron Hitler-Barassi: They've talked about the death of the novel and they've talked about the fact that art in Australia is spiralling downward and I think TISM on Review is confirming that fact. You know, like, for 10 years, Review viewers, we've been slagging you lot off. I know you're expecting some pencil-neck geek with short cropped blonde hair and a black polo necked sweater and drinking his latté talking about some crappy artist that's getting my taxes for years and years and here you have TISM the sort of artists for people who aren't creative, you know. We're from the solidly middle class. We're the artists for people who went to government schools, you know. So I'd like all you Review listeners to put down your latté's and turn up your home stereos and your 48 inch colour TV and get a taste of real life instead of sitting back on your black spotty behind, taking my taxes and thinking you're so creative. Don't you agree, Humphrey?"

"Is he a dot, or he is a speck / when he's underwater, does he get wet / or does the water get him instead?"

"Triangle Man, Triangle Man / Triangle Man hates Particle Man"

"Can't shake the devil's hand / And say you're only kidding."

"You said you were the king of liars / And I believed you and called you 'sire' / But I realize now that I have been deceived."

"We were once so close to heaven / Peter came out and gave us medals / Declaring us the nicest of the damned"

"Everybody wants prosthetic foreheads / on their real heads."

"We can't be silent / 'Cause they might be giants / And what are we gonna do unless they are?"

"There's only one thing that I know how to do well / and I've often been told that you only can do what you know how to do well / and that's be you / be what you're like / be like yourself."

"Laugh hard, it's a long way to the bank."

"Life's just a mood ring we're not allowed to see."

"This is your American dream Everything is simple in the White and the black You will never need to see the grey anymore You will never have to be afraid When you are happy with the blackjack."

"Something bad is Going to happen I can feel it deep inside There are shadows All around me Like a bad moon on the rise."

"The prozac doesn't do it for me anymore"

"You say they taught you how to read and write, They taught you how to count, I say they taught you how to buy and sell, Your own body by the pound, I think you like to be their simple toy, I think you love to play the clown, I think you blind to the fact, That the hand you hold is the hand that holds you down.""
