I was literally wishing for this thread today!

The two you mentioned are two of my favorite as well. I used to make people listen to "The Committee of Oh My God" because I thought it was just brilliant. They thought I was strange, but oh, well.

"Came in clear as a local call"

"Are you desperate enough for repentence"

"intellectually masturbating" (I'd never heard this before, it's oh so relevant to my life!)

"I got stopped by a cop for oblivious driving"

"secret silken world of sex and submission / of vodka and handcuffs and acts of contrition" (I am supposed to be repulsed by this, I know, but I'm perverse)

"I'm alone in L.A., the whorehouse by the sea"

"Ghosts of Christmas past / like faded streamers feebly dangle /  Ripped apart at last by time and lies and the way that they've been handled."

"past the punks and the drunks and the bad guitar players / and the dewy eyed teenage dragon slayers till you come to this place"

Ok, I'll leave a few for someone else.
