"I never knew soap made you taller." - Ghost

I like this line, as he's talking about the TV selling him what he doesn't need. I always envisioned some cheesy late night infomercial, "and this faaaaabulous soap cuts down on grime and makes you taller!"

So it is not reffering to a specific commercial? I always felt there was a direct reference there, but since I didn't live in the States during that time, I just didn't know.

But yeah, def. an infomercial or something...

Simply improving the quality of water and using soap could make children grow taller, according to the first study of its kind.
Researchers found that basic methods to maintain good hygiene could add half a centimetre to a five-year-old as poor personal care can increase the risk of infection in the gut, thereby reducing the amount of nutrients absorbed.

Interesting... What is the source?

Not a rhyme but so incredibly cringe worthy...

"This is how I feel"- Smile

So unnecessary

twisted thoughts

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

How cliche? C'mon Ed... I could have come up with that, and I don't have a single poetic bone in my body.

Flame away... I know people love that song, but I can't stand it.

For someone supposedly worth 80 million?

That line doesn't have anything to do with the *price* of gasoline. Some of you are reading it much too literally.

"Gone" is a "getting the fuck out of a bad situation" song, right? What he's saying there is that the gas in his tank -- ie, the literal MEANS for getting the fuck out of the bad situation -- is like currency to him. It means more to him than money or material possessions or anything else he's leaving behind.

He's saying, "You can take every cent I have, everything I own. All I need is this tank of gas and I can start anew."

The line that comes directly after "money in the bank" is important, too. "Gonna blow it all this time." -- basically he's going to take that tank of gas and spend it like money to the last drop. He's going to drive that vehicle as far as that last tank will take him.

And that's how he'll find his freedom.

Good idea. Good line.

I like this line to be honest, especially, they way it brings the song down - but that is just how I feel.

This is an excellent line! Especially the way the meaning is reversed when he sings it the second time...

Do not like "This is how I feel." But I do love Thumbing My Way. Got me through a couple of tough times. I do agree it's cliche but it's exactly what I needed to hear.

"The wisdom that the old can't give away
Hey,..."

Love the song, don't cringe when I hear this, but I sometimes get the feeling he didn't know what to say next.

Haha, my thought exactly. I love that line "the wisdom that the old can't give away, hey, constant recoil, sometimes life just don't leave you alone". So true. But I feel like Ed didn't know what to say next too.

Doesn't rhyme, but I'm not a fan of "Feel the sky blanket you/With gems and rhinestones"

Not worse than (also not rhyming): "Off the track, in the mud. That's the moss in the aforementioned verse". What the fuck is that, haha.

that one makes me cringe when i hear it. You're listening and it's like, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, what is this clunky shit? Really babies, really?

HesCalledDyer

Not a rhyme but kinda redundant and it bothers me:

"Let me catch my BREATH to BREATHE..."

Last-12-Exit

Hear the circus so profound
I hear the sirens more and more in this here town.

I love the song, I just don't like this.
