Fave lyrics from LB

"Sometimes you find yourself having to put all your faith, in no faith"

"Hear the sirens, covering distance in the night...the sounds echoing closer...will they come for me next time?"

This is just off the top of my head...
Is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?

    So many great lyrical moments on LB. The entirety of pendulum deserves a place at the top of best pj lyrics. I also love infallible, especially this line:

    All good things come to an end
    This could be good as it gets
    How's the view from the fence?

    All the bright lights shining as you’re trying to breathe in thin air
    Cannot forget you’re hiding collected wounds left unhealed
    When every thought you’re thinking sinks you darker than the new moon sky
    The faraway lights rising in the whites of your eyes
    Further back and forth a wave will break on me, today...

    "Science says we're making love like the lizards...
    Try and say that fossils ain't profound...
    Simon says we're not allowed to consider...
    Simon says "Stand-up. Sit-down. You're out!"

    No idea why I love that part of the song so much....
    "Leave it to me as I find a way to be.
    Consider me a satellite forever orbiting.
    I knew all the rules but the rules did not know me.
    Guaranteed."

    An echo that rings/A bullet unchained/One life, one grave/Joins the parade/
    The sky grows dark /With fallen stars /Who'd come so far/A headstone engraved /The colors turn gray/The black and white fades     (Yellow Moon)

    With no quiet to be found/Spirit lifted off the ground /And what lies beyond the grave/Might be welcome change
    Time will come, come what may/With now rest in peace /Until that day     (Swallowed Whole)
    Let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah.
    It's growing up just like me.

    No question it's

    It's a fragile thing
    This life we lead
    If I think too much
    I can get over-
    Whelmed by the grace
    By which we live our lives
    With death over our shoulders

    I felt so filled with mystic awe when I first deciphered those lyrics, and I am always compelled to sing along at that point, even if I sing nothing else.

    Hands down my favorite lyrics on the album. I love to blast the volume when these come up.

    I also love.

    The crashing stormy waves
    Erode her shoreline every day
    Until the castle of her ways
    Turns to sand


    Plus I like it when he says she holds her breast.....

    Like this one!! :roll:

    And when the shotglass talks
    He knows to listen up
    Until he's nice and numb again


    She holds her lovely breast
    As her birds fall from the nest
    Flying towards the great northwest, yeh yeh yeh

    :D:D:D

    Can't wait to hear these lyrics at the opening in Vancouver and Seattle!!!

    We are here and then we go
    My shadow left me long ago

    Understand what we don't know
    This might pass, this might last, this may grow

    Easy come easy go
    Easy left me a long time ago

    I'm in the fire, but I'm still cold
    Nothing works, works for me anymore
    IF NOTHING IS EVERYTHING, I'LL HAVE IT ALL.

    We all could use a sedative right now

    By thinking we're infallible, we are tempting fate instead

    Besides some of those already mentioned...

    And your death will soon arrive
    As she finally decides that all her
    Problems, they won't die with you

    ...

    Oh, I believe in love and disaster

    I think pound for pound this may be my favorite record of PJ lyrics. I relate to these lyrics more than any other for various reasons.

    Everything everybody already mentioned, all of Sirens and I really love the ..."for God's Sake" line at the end of Getaway. Subtle but such a heavy hit.

    Good call. Getaway is an instant classic.

    This is the one I like the most:
    Of everything that's possible
    In the hearts and minds of men

    Somehow it is the biggest things
    That keep on slipping
    Right through our hands

    By thinking we're infallible
    We are tempting fate instead


    But since this one and Getaway mentions things related to ships, when I heard the following the first time:
    When progress could be plausible
    In reverse we curse ourselves

    What I heard in fact was:

    "When ........ could be possible in every curse I set sails", which was pretty cool, though it turned out to be wrong
    ... I am not in the business of being liked anymore ...
