    ive noticed people put lyrics from Satan's Bed (a Stone song) and Nothingman (a Jeff song) on this thread.. lyrically great songs, indeed.. but the thread is entitled greatest song eddie ever wrote....

    my fav. eddie line :
    "Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a corvette.
    Thinks he'll get the girl he'll only get the mechanic..."
    "I'm like an opening band for the sun"

    you can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh
    or you can come to terms and realize
    you're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
    makes much more sense to live in the present tense

    I think everyone can relate to that line, and the way he sings it shows the pain in its meaning.

    Don't know who wrote them:

    'How much difference does it make?'

    'Caught a bolt of lightning. Cursed the day he let it go.'

    'I'm not about to give thanks or apologize.'

    As soon as i read this post, the cd was on Indiference, and those exact words came up... freaky, but sweet as fuck.

    My personal favourite, for anyone in times of need.. also my footery thingy,

    No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead...

    fave lyric ever is

    "and he still gives his love, he just gives it away;
    the love he recieves is the love that is saved
    and sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
    a human being that was given to fly....."

    How about:
    "Tidal waves don't beg forgiveness..."
    If something goes wrong, people always beg forgiveness for their actions. The waves - they dont. They're just doing what the nature told them to. And they're happy. Let's take that for example!

    "Before his first step, he was off again"(I can relate so much to that line)

    "She's been diagnosed, by some stupid fuck"

    "Ive got a gun, in fact I got two. I always keep them loaded" (great sarcasim)

    "I got scars all over my arms, one for each day since I fell apart."

    Cant wait to see PJ in Thunder Bay, Im still in shock that they are comming here.
    I will make the world a better place...with my own, two hands.

    Oh! It's so hard, how can you chose only one line?! I can't even think of chosing their best song! ...I'll just write down the first that comes to my mind:

    "I had a false belief, I thought we came here to stay.
    We're all just visiting, all just breaking like waves."

    Have a good day pjammers!

    "if I behave, can you arrange a spacious hole in the ground
    Somewhere nice, make it nice..."

    That one gets me every time...

    "The direction of the eye, so misleading
    The defection of the soul, nauseously quick"

    The entire song Garden hits at home though

    and in the live version (acoustic) of black, at the very end when he sings/yells

    "we belong, together....together" ....wow emotion..

    "OOOHhh DAAAARRKK GRIIIN... HE CAN'T HELP WHEN HE'S HAPPY HE LOOKS INSANE"

    "Nature has its own religion, gospel of the land"

    "His face seemed pulled and tense, like he's riding on a motor-bike in the strongest winds"

    my sig

    "I let go of the rope, thinkin' that's what held me back, and in time I've realized it's now wrapped around my neck"

    "I don't see men as half empt, I see 'em as half full of shit"

    and while everyone glorifies the deserving "I know someday..." from Black there is also "The love gone bad turned my world to black and tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be."
