Alright, I'll bite.
Mats Division: Nobody
"Heartaches, on your wedding day
double takes when they look my way
knees quake, there ain't a shotgun in the place
you like the frosting, you just bought the cake"
Runners Up: Bastards of Young; Swinging Party
PW Division: Eyes Like Sparks
"Just stay where you are
Baby, stay away from me
With your eyes like spark
And my heart like gasoline"
Runners Up: Born For Me; Let's Not Belong; Mannequin Shop
Open Division: Jeannie's Got A Problem With Her Uterus
"Jeannie's having problems with her ovaries
she's got trouble with her tubes
if you go past her vagina and her cervix
you will find a completely empty room
because Jeannie's got a problem with her uterus
her uterus is useless"
Joy Division: Love Will Tear Us Apart
"When routine bites hard,
And ambitions are low,
And resentments ride high,
But emotions won't grow,
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads.
Then love, love will tear us apart again."

Mats-
Absolution is out of the question
Makes no sense to apologize
The words i thought i brought i left behind
Westerberg-
Yours is tense
mine is dull
you take offense
I take a full minute just to notice
Open-
Time Heals
Time goes on and
Time really flies
Time hurts and time can cut you
Cut you down to size

In my waxed up hair and my painted shoes
Got an offer that you might refuse ...
Wake up from a dream and I look for rain
Take an amphetamine and a crushed rat's brain ...
Wish upon a star is really the best of them all tho

Replacements Division: "Bring your own lampshade, somewhere there's a party." or "A person can work up a real mean thirst after a hard day of nothing much at all."
Westerberg Division: " Our coffee laughs at us every morning"
Open Division: " Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine" (unless Open Division is really some band from upper MN that I don't know about)
Joy Division ??

Replacements Division: Well I walked out of work and I was tired as hell/Another day come an d gone oh well/Somewhere there's a drink with my name on it.
Paul Division: I wanna know/was you garage a playground/pool a hose/did you piss in the alley and get your toes caught in the spokes of a bike with a bananna seat/did you carry a knife that was rusted shut tight/you got drunk after chruch at thirteen.
Open Division: I met her at the movies she was there all alone/a bargain matinee/Theater's deserted,
she sat right next to me/I can't remember what played that day/she leans reall near/she whispered in my ear/I blinked/she grinned/ I choked on my M&M's/The lights when down/the lion roared/Donna got down on the floor.
Joy Division: Instants that can still betray us/ a journey that leads to the sun/ soulless and bent on destruction struggle between right and wrong /You take my place in the show-down/ I'll observe with a pitiful eye/ and humble ask for forgiveness/ a request well beyond you and I/ Heart and soul, one will burn

Replacements Division:
"How young are you?
How old am I?
Let's count the rings around my eyes"
Paul Division:
"Get up from a dream and I look for rain
Take an amphetamine and a crushed rat brain"
Or
"There's a world in between
Being everything to everyone
And being nothing to no one"
Joy Division:
"Someone take these dreams away
That point me to another day"
Open Division:
"Chewing out a rhythm on my bubble gum
The sun is out and I want some"
