Hello all, a newbie from Australia, a few of my favourite J.A or J.A-ish lines are...
"...the Human dream,doesnt mean shit to a tree".
or "No more room here to fuck around like we did before"
maybe "Amerika Hates her crazies"
and you gotta love Crazy Miranda. "she wants all the pretty boys beside her, to write some pretty words to guide her. To tell her that they love her body as well as her mind"

I am 44 years old and have been listening to JA since i was about 19. The owner of my local record shop had a copy of "Baxters" and he told me to try it out,This was in suburban NSW in the mid 80s for Gods sake Have been a lost cause ever since

For me, "Today" is all ONE single line.....so beautiful:):)

Today I feel like pleasing you more than before
Today I know what I want to do but I don't know what for
To be living for you is all I want to do
To be loving you it'll all be there when my dreams come true
Today you'll make me say that I somehow have changed
Today you'll look into my eyes, I'm just not the same
To be anymore than all I am would be a lie
I'm so full of love I could burst apart and start to cry
Today everything you want, I swear it all will come true
Today I realize how much I'm in love with you
With you standing here I could tell the world what it means to love
To go on from here I can't use words, they don't say enough
Please, please listen to me
It's taken so long to come true
And it's all for you
all for you....
