Mokuscam liked the idea to have one-liners on merchandise. He asked us to post our favourite ones from Jamie's lyrics here. Flick will collect them and send them to Mokuscam .

Jamie one-liners only, please If you're in doubt if a song is by Jamie, you can check the album sleeves as it has the composer and lyricist mentioned with every song.

Edit: And only of songs that have actually been commercially released... So no obscure lyrics from Jump for joy, Liar Liar, Well I never, etc etc...

"Music plays a mind trick"
"Nothing is certain except everything you know can change"

"Queen takes pawn, takes all, checkmate"

AnnaBolic x

'Take a trip to my yard'

'I prefer my women older' (for men's shirts)

'Why do today what you can do tomorrow?' (with a suitably lazy/relaxing/wafty picture/background!)

btw, would I be right in thinking that there would be copyright issues unless the lines are from original songs?

"So come on and spend some time with me"

"Send me your money and I'll change your life"

"Vision hindered,mist settlling low like a ghostly ballet on a cold winter's day"
"It's not just me who feels it
music plays a mind trick"

"Makes no difference if i look like a nut"

Seven:

"Catch the sun, before it's gone
Here it comes, up in smoke and gone"

That's a cover. Jamie originals only please

I thought of that and have been in "edit" for a while. But to be honesty, I don't know wich are covers and wich are Jamie's.... Not every song...

"Music plays a mind trick"

"Nothing is certain except a memory"

"Photographs lost in time are all I see"

"A pointless nostalgic;
That’s me"

"So What Game Shall We Play Today? How About The One Where You Don't Get Your Way?"

"It's just another story caught up in another Photograph I found."

"Nothing is certain except a memory, and that's soon washed away by a low sea."


Xx Beth xX

"I'm a twentysomething, leave me alone"

I'd wear that for another 2 1/2 years

"I'm just a liar like you"

"Looking back on my ordinary life...
...I see so much magic though I missed it at the time" (my fave Jamie lyric of all)

"I am here, you're from another stratosphere" (I think this would make a great t-shirt!)

"21st Century Kid: Surrounded by illusion and confusion"

"Tell me why mysteriously I'm annoyed instead of shamed"

"This stubborn soul thinks he's done no wrong"

"Does admission take my sins to a new low?" (like this one! )

"Nothing is certain except everything you know can change"

You keep the cold away

I think the point is of songs that have actually been released...

jump for joy edited as munchy refuses to stick it on an album!!!!

dont you know the love that you've been dreaming of it mine

A pointless nostalgic, thats me (the only one i would truely consider wearing) (sory if somone else posted that)

Released songs *only* please...

"Later on you could spend some time with me"

"You'll win the battle but I'll win the war"

"I'm not that easily led"

"Love, one day I'll have to try"

"When things are done in our own name, are we as much to blame?"

"You're attracted to the danger and tasting every flavour" or alternatively without the 'You're'

"I keep my enemies much, much, much too close"

I like some wacky ones..

Can nothing I say bring a smile onto your face?

Dinner at 8, that sounds fine

I gotta get myself back to the ground

Some I like have already been posted.

"Why do today what you can do tomorrow?"
"Nothing is certain..."
"Send me your money..."

Here's some new ones to consider.

• "I'm an expert on Shakespeare" (could lead to some interesting conversation )
• "New ideals and different thoughts from lessons I have learned" (oooo.... that could be on a Jamie-theme journal!!)
• "Don't you know the grass is greener on the other side?" (men's tee?)
• "Tonight might be nothing but the moon and me" (personal bias maybe not great for a shirt)
• "But maybe you're the one who makes the winds blow" (with a person holding their nose... hehe)
• "Our little world's fragile" (for the envrionmentalists out there)
• "Heaven sent"
• "There's a lot to be said about waisting your time" (college students would TOTALLY buy this one!)
• Da da da doo da da dwee doo (my best interpretation of the doo's in WDTWYCDT)
• "Come with me and we'll waste a day."
• "Vote for me. It really isn't that complex." (okay, so that's two lines. whacya gonna do!?)

(or doo da da doo doo? something)

"the grass is greener on the other side"
"i'm all at sea"
"instantaneous satisfaction"
"shout it from the brink"

• The sunlight always shines behind the clouds of London Skies (could be popular with Londoners, although you could always cut it of after 'clouds' and make it more universal)
• A towering inferno of restless energy
• I want to be a popstar (for budding popsters everywhere )
• I'll take this chance and celebrate the day
• These are the days that bring new meaning (or any of the other versions of that line)
• Maybe I'll go to the gym so I don't get fat, aren't things more easy with a tight six pack? (for people wanting their T-shirts to wear to the gym)
• I don't want to get up just let me lie in, leave me alone I'm a twentysomething (Jamie nightshirts anyone?!)

also, another vote for "a pointless nostalgic, that's me" (maybe as a forum special?) and "music plays a mind trick", among others.

My proposals for the 'bitchy collection':

"Calm her ass!"
"I'm annoyed instead of shamed"
"Send her, to where she belongs"
"Take my sins to a new low"
"never even bothered getting dressed" (for the probably numerous opportunities, when you wear nothing else than the shirt )

or at least the ultimate submission-shirt:
"...she would always attend to my every need " )

flechesbleues:

another vote for "a pointless nostalgic, that's me" (maybe as a forum special?)

Aaaah, yes... THE forum t-shirt has to have that on it!

Other ideas...

"21st Century Kid.. surrounded by illusion & confusion"... one for the emo kids out there!
"Got a little rhythm..."
"In this world of over-rated pleasures & under-rated treasures... I'm glad there is you"
"These are the days that I've been missing..."
"Attracted to the danger and tasting every flavour..."

here is a few..:

- When things are done in our own name
Are we as much to blame?
- I've been there myself sad fat and bald
But soon with my help, you'll have it all (not sure anout this one..)
- Surely you’ll trust me once I've been paid (this one is great )
- Reality is twisted, your mind's getting shoplifted
- My regular table will be just fine.
- You really think you own the room.
- who'd have thought that entertainment,
Lies in the winter of your discontent.
- gentlemen never kiss and tell!
- Wadoo, zim bam boddle-oo, Hoodle ah da wa da, Scatty wah! Oh yeah!... (love this one, has it on my msn )
- My God! I want to be a popstar!
- Maybe next year I'll pretend to be gay ( )
- With this attitude I'm pretty sure to go far
- Nothing is certain except everything you know can change,
- you worship the sun but now, can you fall for the rain...
- watch me forget about missing you
- I got some DVDs and a couple of beers
- don't you know the love that you've been dreaming of is mine?
- We were so drunk last night
- love is a funny thing to me
- i am here, you're from another stratosphere
- Our day will come, If we just wait a while.
- I remember throwing up behind a bush ( )
- we all seem so different but we're just the same.

I think that was it.. I know it was a lot, but i just went threw them all and sorry if some of then aren't jamie's only song, which i know some of them aren't but i just thought they were good!

Ah, thanks

"Love is a funny thing to me"

* Surely you´ll trust me
* I´ll change your life
* You´re nobody till somebody loves you
* Think love and wear a (smile)

"I'll keep being me ...."

"I just get dizzy in the midday sun"

"...your from another Stratosphere"

Repeating a lot that have already been posted:

"These are the days"

"A pointless nostalgic... that's me" (perhaps with "that's me" on the back of the t-shirt - would be the new forum uniform!! )

"I can't even seperate love from lust"

"I'm a twentysomething"

"There's beauty in our London skies"

"Music plays a mind trick"

"Do you think we're on our own?"

"21st century kid, surrounded by illusion and confusion"

"Contemplate as kings and simple men on trial"

"Can we win back what we have lost?"

"If you want to we can stay up all night"

"Don't you know the grass is greener on the other side"

"Tonight might be nothing but the moon and me"

Sorry for being very stupid, but if we not are allowed to write a line that someone else already has written, you pick another, and at the end all the song with every lyrics are cut up (due to that we are so many members).
So, isn't it easier for him (who want's this lines) to take every song that Jamie has written and write that down?

(This is not an complaining, I like the idea, it just a thought....)

I think the idea is that some of the lyrics cannot be used on their own and others are very appropriate for t-shirts. Some are just classic Jamie lines. Mokuscam wanted our input as fans for our favorite one-line lyrics, especially since he doesn't exactly have time to go through all of Jamie's songs and figure out what lyrics would make good one-liners.

Then he will got a h*ll-of-a-job to go through all of these lines...
But okay, I got the point. Thanx

Just post the lines you like.

Hm- now a lot of us have mentioned many, many lines... perhaps a poll, where you could chose three favorites (and then Flick takes the 10 on first places) is maybe more useful here, than in the free-posters-thread, which is more clairly laid out.

I don't really understand your proposal here. Vote for three faves and then Flick takes the 10 most popular? That doesn't make sense...

I mean, if EACH uf us only mentions his three favorites now (and not all what comes in his or hers mind as a proposal - like we thought first) - then Flick can easily take the ten of ALL, which are mentioned most .

At least, it's like you seemed to want it at the beginning... but if you don't limit the number of favorites, there are forumites (and I blame me here also) which write half a meter of proposals, and so some may be mentioned more often, without beeing really "better"...

ah, okay. I think that's a good plan.

Also, realise which lines are good on their own, without the context of the song. E.g. I have a tee with a line from a Rufus Wainwright song and it says: My phone's on vibrate... for you (which is on the back). This is a great example of a line working really well outside the context of the song

Yes, it isn't just a question of your favourite lines, but which ones would be appropriate for a t-shirt, for example. There are other favourite lines of mine that I didn't mention, because they'd look decidedly dodgy on a t-shirt

I *love* A pointless nostalgic, that's me for a forum tee!
