What's the last clever world play by Eddie?

Seems Eddie is more into writing it "simpler" and more direct nowadays (according to the latest interview).
More "Im in a well, it's living hell, before it was swell, but since I fell who can tell, I love you, do bi do" and less "And he who forgets...will be destined to remember..." and the likes.
So what's the last clever wordplay and/or writing from Eddie? Was there any on Backspacer or do we have to go back to S/T?
(Not saying the more direct wriitng is worse, just that you always enjoy a great wordplay and clever line now and then!)

I always thought the line you used as an example of something deep was a rip off line from EV.....I had 2 different history teachers years ago who had this quote posted up in their classrooms.
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" - George Santayana
"He who forgets...will be destined to remember" - Eddie Vedder
Doesn't matter, love that line, love that song.
I think the lyrics are all up for interpretation and I am sure whomever wrote the song might have a different explanation than we as fans imagine.
I think that Unthought Known is awesome lyrically -- I know it is the popular thing to do here to slaughter anything 'Backspacer' but I not only like this song I find the lyrics to be meaningful on a number of levels. Song has a number of examples in my opinion.
I loved that article where he spoke on this topic though, thought it was great.
