Thursday Thirteen

Manders came up with a good one: 13 favorite song lines. I'll only claim these are 13 of my favorites. The first 13 I can think of.

5. "Those who say the past is not dead can stop and smell the smoke..."---Smoke, by Ben Folds Five
6. "You could have it all, my empire of dirt/I will let you down, I will make you hurt..."---Hurt, as performed by Johnny Cash
