Best Lyrics from PJ

Pap

In your opinion, what are the best lyrics from PJ?

For me, it would be Love Boat Captain on top. Plus Given To Fly, Big Wave, Indifference, You Are, Just Breathe.

NoOne'sRival

most recent...UNTHOUGHT KNOWN...freaking awsome!!

LET THE SKY BLANKET YOU IN GEMS AND RHINESTONES!! (i scream this in my car while driving & listening)
SEE THE PATH CUT BY THE MOON...FOR YOU TO WALK ON

and then, this part I yell and cry almost simultaneously

DREAM THE DREAM OF OTHER MEN...YOU'LL BE NO ONE'S RIVAL
DREAM THE DREAM OF OTHERS THEN...YOU WILL BE NO ONE 'S RIVAL!!!

seeing it live was my ultimate.

how does he come up with words that move so many of us time and time again??

yellow ledbetter for sure

from force of nature... "is it so wrong to think that love could keep us safe?"

CantKeepMeHere

...and I come clean...

deadmosquito

if he can't sleep, how will he ever dream?

Brain-o-Jordan

(green disease)
Tell the captain the boats not safe, we're drowning,
turns out he's the one making waves, waves, waves

ed243421

one of many-

It's a disease,... and they're all green
It emanates from their being
A satiation,.. with occupation

And like weeds,.. with big leaves
Stealing light from what's beneath
Where they have more,...
Still they take more

dimitrispearljam

...turned my world to BLACK

PJSEMPRE

Tremor Christ
Black
Immortality
Indifference

BiggermanPL

Off He goes, cause - There he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes.

Pap

Til he had more time,... more time...
Time to dream,... to himself...

Mike's Side

Do you see the way that tree bends?
Does it inspire?
Leaning out to catch the sun's rays..

prodacake

at the moment for me its this from undone, "Change don't come at once It's a wave, building before it breaks" amazing

CantKeepMeHere

I wish I was the verb to trust, and never let you down

Pap

Working for something,.. that one can never hold
A place in the clouds.
Good place to hide oh my oh

BSully

Wow, just like everything from PJ, it is so hard to pick one song or one section of a song that is the "Best".

I love the lyrics to Black, Tremor Christ, Off He Goes, Nothingman,....list goes on and on.
More recently, I really like Force of Nature!

vomikus39

so many, so many....but I would vote for every verse in Present Tense, and 3 simple words...."I am Mine"

Pap

Oh God, I need a drink
Of cool cool rain
Love, reign o'er me...

DangDang

"Love ain't love until you give it all"

Pap

With the living, Let,..... What is living love
So unforgiving, yet,.... Needing forgiveness first
God, what do you say?

Dmcneice

I know I was born and I know that I'll die, the in between is mine. I am mine

Pap

I want to breathe
Follow the scene
I want to taste
Everyone I see
I want to run when I'm up high
I want to run into the sea
I only want life.... to be...
I just want to be...
I will feel alive... as long as I am free...

DM43807

One of my favorite lines is from "Down"

"If Hope Can Grow From Dirt Like Me, It Can Be Done..."

Pap

Under a star-lined ceiling...
And darkness so sleep. Ah,...
Your sense is revealed...
In the moonlight...
It's a love drawn nearer.
Darkened days are spent in.

A night bird is followin' you all the time.

abnorma

If I knew where it was I would take you there
There's much more than this, much more than this
Oh, see the world

Pearl Drummer

present tense

Pap

I feel part of the universe open up to meet me
My emotion so submerged, broken down to kneel in
...

My love is safe for the universe
See me now, I'm bursting

DangDang

Is this just another phase
of earthquakes making waves?

Pap

And the memory is always getting clearer
For that’s 30 years or more I’ve loved her so
And how I need to know,.. Why she’s with him

:thumbup: I love this line too..
Actually there are so many excellent PJ lines that I can't pick only one or two because I think it's not fair..
