For some reason lyrics have popped up a lot in the last day or two of my life. The elbo.ws\/vanilla forum has a lyrics thread<\/a> now, I used one of my favorite lyrics to open a speech today, and a friend of mine had “what’s you favorite song lyric?” for her away message. Put it all together and I think it’s a good day to share a few of my favorites. Many are from The Grateful Dead, since I’m a huge fan of Robert Hunter’s writing, and I love Tom Marshall’s writing for Phish but don’t have many favorite lyrics picked out from him. Anyways, here they are, make sure you all leave some additions in the comments.<\/p>\n

“Control for smilers can’t be bought<\/strong>”
\n-Phish, “Stash,” lyrics by Tom Marshall.<\/p>\n

“Oh well a Touch Of Grey, kind of suits you anyway<\/strong>”
\n-The Grateful Dead, “Touch Of Grey,” lyrics by Robert Hunter.<\/p>\n

“If you get confused, listen to the music play<\/strong>”
\n-The Grateful Dead, “Franklin’s Tower,” lyrics by Robert Hunter.<\/p>\n

“I may be going to hell in a bucket, babe, but at least I’m enjoying the ride<\/strong>”
\n-The Grateful Dead, “Hell In A Bucket,” lyrics by John Perry Barlow.<\/p>\n

“Brown eyed women and red grenadine, the bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean<\/strong>”
\n-The Grateful Dead, “Brown-Eyed Woman,” lyrics by Robert Hunter.<\/p>\n

“A day without a buzz is a day that never was<\/strong>”
\n-Keller Williams, “A Day Without A Buzz,” lyrics to my knowledge are just a saying, but Keller is the only one I know to have used them as lyrics.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Any favorites anyone? They don’t have to be jam bands, naturally, these are just the ones I keep earmarked for a rainy day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
