Lou, (Listy) Not around too much, don't be offended if I don't reply.. I'LL TRY!

Needs no explanation, really.

Any Coldplay lyric gets my vote - esp. Shiver and Don't Panic

or

"When I counted up my demons, I saw there was one for every day, with the good ones on my shoulder I drove the other ones away, so if you ever feel neglected or if you feel like all is lost, then i'll be counting up my demons, hoping everything's not lost"

This is not the best lyric ever written (and they probably nicked it anyway) but a favourite of mine is: -

"If love is blind, I guess I'll buy myself a cane."
from 'Locomotive' by Guns N Roses.

Continuing that tasteful theme, how about: -

With nothing beter to do,
