Any awesome/inspiring lyrics you've come across lately?
Here's some I really like:

"She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns"
- Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees

"The roof is holding on
by it's fingernails.
Your voice is rapping
on my windowsill"
-Radiohead - Scatterbrain

Can't abide Morrissey on the whole, but I always love the opening lines to 'I Know It's Over':

Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well, enough said


Also, the whole of Time by Pink Floyd, although the following is scarily accurate in my view:

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
